NOTE: All the numbers on this page are for the 2019 - 2024
 election cycle and based on Federal Election Commission data released
 electronically on 10/07/24 for Fundraising totals,
 Source of Funds and Total Raised vs Average, and on 09/22/24 for
 Top Contributors and Industries. ("Help! The numbers don't add up...")

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 for federal officeholders - 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 for state and federal officeholders are derived from contribution records disclosed in campaign finance
 reports from the FEC or state campaign finance agencies that reach applicable itemization thresholds. 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. Data for
 state officeholders may be subject to longer time lags, as OpenSecrets aggregates this information from many sources
 and formats. HOW CURRENT ARE THESE FIGURES? The figures in federal profiles are taken from databases uploaded by the FEC 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 federal 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 - are 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. The lag times vary for state officeholder data. OpenSecrets aggregates state data from many sources and formats.

The organizations themselves did not
 donate , rather the money came from the organizations' PACs,
 their individual members or employees or owners, and those individuals'
 immediate families. Organization totals include subsidiaries and affiliates.

Why (and How)
 We Use Donors' Employer/Occupation Information

Corporations themselves cannot donate to candidates at the federal level but federal candidates can get
 contributions from corporate PACs, employees and owners as well as their immediate families. At the state level,
 corporations and unions can give directly to campaigns in many jurisdictions. Under federal law, all contributions over $200 must be itemized and the donor's occupation and employer must be
 requested and disclosed, if provided. State requirements related to itemization thresholds and employment
 disclosures vary. Where available, OpenSecrets uses that employer/occupation information to identify the donor's economic interest.
 We do this in two ways: First, we apply a code to the contribution, identifying the industry. Totals for industries (and larger economic
 sectors) can be seen in each candidate and race profile, and in the Industry Profile section of the OpenSecrets
 website. Second, we standardize the name of the donor's employer. If enough contributions came in from people connected
 with that same employer, the organization's name winds up on the Top Contributors list. It is impossible to know either the economic interest that made each individual contribution possible or the
 motivation for each individual giver. However, the patterns of contributions provide critical information for
 voters, researchers and others. That is why Congress and many states have mandated that candidates, political
 parties and political committees request employer information from contributors and publicly report it when the
 contributor provides it. In some cases, a cluster of contributions from people associated with the same organization may indicate a
 concerted effort by that organization to "bundle" contributions to the candidate. In other cases, the reason for the
 contributions may be completely unrelated to the organization. Showing these clusters of contributions from people associated with particular organizations provides a valuable —
 and unique — way of understanding where candidates are getting their financial support. Knowing those groups is also
 useful after the election, as issues come before Congress, presidential administrations and state governments that
 may affect those organizations or their industries.

METHODOLOGY

Corporations themselves cannot donate to candidates at the federal level but federal candidates can get
 contributions from corporate PACs, employees and owners as well as their immediate families. At the state level,
 corporations and unions can give directly to campaigns in many jurisdictions. Donors who give more than $200 to any federal candidate, PAC or party committee must list their occupation and
 employer. State requirements related to itemization thresholds and employment disclosures vary. Based on the
 available 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.
