METHODOLOGY

The figures profiled here include money from two sources: These contributors were
either the sponsors of a PAC that gave to the politician, or they were listed as an individual
donor's employer. Donors who give more than $200 to any
federal candidate, PAC or party committee must list their occupation and
employer. Based on that information, the donor is given an economic code. These totals are conservative,
as not all of the individual contributions have yet
been classified by OpenSecrets.

In cases where two or more people from the same family contributed, the income-earner's
occupation/employer is assigned to all non-wage earning family members. If, for instance, Henry Jones
lists his employer as First National Bank, his wife Matilda lists "Homemaker" and 12-year old Tammy
shows up as "Student," OpenSecrets would identify all their contributions as being related to the
"First National Bank" since that's the source of the family's income.

Although individual contributions are generally categorized based on the donor's
occupation/employer, in some cases individuals may be classified instead as ideological donors.
A contribution to a candidate may be given an ideological code, rather than an economic code, if
the contributor gives to an ideological political action committee AND the candidate has received
money from PACs representing that same ideological interest.

NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2021 - 2022 House
election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data available
electronically on February 01, 2022.

WHY DON'T THE NUMBERS ADD UP?

Sometimes it's hard to make apple-to-apple comparisons across some of the pages in a candidate's
profile. Here's why:

Summary numbers - specifically "Total Raised and Spent" and "PAC/Individual Split" - are
based on summary reports filed by the candidates with the Federal Election Commission. All other numbers in
these profiles ("Quality of Disclosure," "Geography" and "Special Interests") are derived from detailed FEC
reports that itemize all contributions of $200 or more.

There is also a time lag in posting the information. While summary numbers are reported almost
immediately by the FEC -- and listed quickly on OpenSecrets -- processing and analyzing the detailed records
takes much longer. For that reason, summary numbers are usually higher (and more current) than the numbers based
on detailed records.

HOW CURRENT ARE THESE FIGURES?

The figures in these profiles are taken from databases uploaded by the FEC to the internet on
the first day of every month. Those databases are only as current as the FEC has been able to compile by that
date (see the note above about lag times for data entry).

OpenSecrets updates figures for "Total Raised and Spent" and for "PAC/Individual Split" a few
days after the first of the month. The remaining figures - based on detailed contribution data - is updated
by OpenSecrets after the 20th of every month. This gives us time to analyze the contributions and categorize
them by industry and interest group.
