“Individuals” covers both small-dollar (under $200) and large donors.
Who are the biggest donors?
Every donor ranked by how much they gave, from the candidate’s own FEC filings — individuals, PACs, and party committees all in one list. Expand a candidate to see theirs, then tap any name to learn more about the donor.
Why are so many gifts exactly $10,000? That’s the legal maximum a PAC can give one candidate for the whole cycle — $5,000 for the primary plus $5,000 for the general — so many PACs give the max. Individuals can give up to $3,500 per election.

Showing the 50 biggest of 1688 donors. The other 1638 gave $2M combined.
Plus $628K from small donors giving under $200 each — those aren’t itemized by name.
These figures come from the candidate’s own itemized FEC reports (2026 cycle, through the coverage date above), with amendments applied and refunds netted. Joint fundraising transfers are left out of the ranking: they’re pass-throughs, and the individual donations behind them are listed above. Bank interest, vendor refunds, and other non-donation receipts are excluded. Donor names are as reported — the same person can appear twice if their name was recorded differently. Independent spending on ads is never included here — see the Outside spending column.

Texas GOP super PAC's first buy: $100K against Wellman in MO-2, funded by undisclosed October money
Protect Our Family Values Action, a Republican super PAC registered in December 2025 and run by GOP operative Les Williamson (Strategic Victory Solutions; ex-NRSC/McConnell circles) out of a Houston mailbox address, sat nearly dormant until Oct 17, when it spent $100,035 on media attacking Democrat Fred Wellman in Missouri's competitive 2nd District via Del Cielo Media. It had only $23,905 cash on hand at Sep 30, so the October money behind the buy is undisclosed until the Post-General report due Dec 3.
