Contributions dated Jan 1, 2025 or later, from reports that have not been superseded by an amendment, as filed with the Texas Ethics Commission. Each row combines all contributions from one donor (same name, type, employer, occupation and city). Contributions the filer did not itemize are not included. 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. 0 of 334 donors here are flagged. Share of itemized dollars from flagged donors and cause groups: 0% ($0.00 of $967,204.62); share of gifts: 0%.
