About these numbers
- “Raised” adds up itemized receipts, net of amendments, including in-kind gifts; pledges are left out. Cash on hand is the campaign’s own figure from its latest statement.
- Spending leaves out third-party expenditure rows, which repeat in-kind items.
- Outside spending is independent expenditures that name a candidate, for or against, by the group that paid.
