Individual donors include small gifts the campaign was not required to itemize. These categories are kept apart on purpose: a gift from a person is not a gift from a company, and a PAC is not a person.

Largest individual contributions

Each line is one itemized gift as reported, in the donor's own words (employer and occupation are what the donor told the campaign; an employer is not the donor). Gifts are never added together by name. Information about individual contributors is public record, but federal law forbids using it to solicit contributions or for any commercial purpose (52 U.S.C. § 30111(a)(4)). People who share a name are never combined here, and no street addresses are shown.

Official sources

Data from the FEC's OpenFEC service. Imported November 9, 2026.

Figures are copied from Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings and are only as complete and current as those filings. Reports are filed on a schedule, so recent money may not appear yet. FloorHoller does not alter official amounts. A campaign contribution is a lawful, public, reported act. Nothing on this page suggests that any contribution, or any amount, is improper.
