FEC summary totals cover activity through 09/30/2026. The itemized table below comes from FEC bulk files, which lag new filings: it includes contributions dated through 2026-06-30 from reports FEC had processed into bulk data by 2026-10-18, so reports filed later (for example the October 15 quarterly report) are not yet in the table or in the itemized sum. Superseded amendments are dropped (only the latest filing of each transaction is kept). Each row combines all itemized contributions from one donor (same name, type, employer, occupation and city), with the number of gifts and the most recent date. Itemized contributions are those the committee reported individually (generally donors giving over $200 in the cycle); memo entries are excluded so nothing is counted twice, and refunds are not shown. Itemized receipts on FEC.gov.
All itemized donors
A Progressive causes badge marks giving, not people: it means public FEC records show a contribution to a group on our list of cause groups (abortion rights, racial justice/BLM, LGBTQ advocacy, identity-based/DEI advocacy), or that the row itself is money from such a group. A match requires the same name and ZIP code plus a matching employer or occupation (or, for retirees, an uncommon name or matching middle initial); Texas state filings, which have no ZIP, require the same city and the same named employer. Matches can still occasionally be wrong; each gift links to its FEC record so you can check it. 1 of 44 donors here are flagged. Share of itemized dollars from flagged donors and cause groups: <1% ($500.00 of $53,210.00); share of gifts: 1%.
