Why this number?
Funds Raised The money the campaign took in — cash and checks, plus the candidate’s own money, loans, and transfers from affiliated committees. It does not include the value of donated goods and services; where a campaign received any, that is shown separately as In-Kind Received. Full definition →

Why this number?
In-Kind Received Goods or services donated to the campaign instead of cash — say, free printing or donated consulting — reported at fair-market value. Counted toward the same $200 disclosure threshold as cash gifts. Full definition →

The ending cash balance the campaign reported on its most recent filing (as filed, not computed).

Reported on this filing:

Sum of every cash receipt bucket: itemized contributions from others + the candidate's own contributions + loans + filer-stated unitemized + (federal) transfers and other receipts. Excludes the value of donated goods & services, shown separately as In-Kind Received.

Inputs behind Funds raised
Itemized contributions from others $93,420

Itemized expenditure rows plus the stated spending a filer reported as a lump sum without itemizing it.

Who funds this campaign The sources split breaks down everything the campaign raised: the candidate’s own money (including self-loans), individuals (including unitemized small gifts), organizations and PACs, and “other” (in-kind contributions, loans other than the candidate’s, and the like) — open its “Why this number?” for the full breakdown. Gift-size and location figures cover itemized contributions only. Aggregates count everyone who gave, including donors below the $200 disclosure floor — a share across all donors identifies no one. Full definition →

The candidate’s own money made up 4% of the campaign’s funds — individuals gave 78%, organizations and PACs 6%, with 12% from other sources.

Candidate’s own money $5K · 4% Individuals $87K · 78% Organizations & PACs $7K · 6% Other sources $13K · 12%
Why this number?

Everything the campaign raised, split into the candidate's own money (own contributions plus self- and family loans), individuals, organizations and PACs, and everything else — loans other than the candidate's, in-kind contributions, and (for federal filers) committee transfers and other receipts. Unitemized small donations count as individual money. The parts add up to the total raised. The headline share is the candidate divided by the total.

From the candidate's own money: $5,000 ÷ Everything the campaign raised: $112,220
Inputs behind Share from the candidate
Candidate's own money (incl. self-loans) $5,000

Gift size Each individual donor’s total giving to this campaign this cycle. Organizations, PACs, and the candidate’s own money are excluded (this is about people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. A donor named on the page can still sit in a small bucket — these are cycle totals, not “unnamed donors.” Full definition →

Why this number?

Every individual donor's total contributions to this campaign, divided by the number of individual donors. Organizations and PACs are excluded (this measures people); a donor who gave under several name spellings is counted once. The median and the gift-size buckets are computed over the same individual-donor totals. Based on itemized contributions only (loans and money a filer reported as an unitemized lump sum are not included).

Where the money comes from Shares of itemized dollars, by the contributor’s state and city as filed. A city is named only when at least 5 donors gave from it or it holds at least 5% of the located dollars; everyone else is grouped into “elsewhere.” Shown only when at least 80% of dollars carry a usable state. Full definition →

84% of located dollars came from within Tennessee (16% from out of state).
