Notes & References

Numbers on this page are based on Federal Election Commission data. For the 2026 election cycle all summary level data, such as total raised, spent, cash on hand & debts, as well as the table on "Campaign Committee Contribution Sources" is pulled from data available on April 20th, 2026.

For transaction level data, such as, PACs, industries, and donors, those come from data retrieved on February 2nd, 2026.

All data for cycles prior to 2026 was finalized with FEC data released in the Spring of the year following the election.

Where OpenSecrets gets federal campaign finance data
Federal campaign finance data is sourced from reports filed with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC). 
How OpenSecrets uses donor employer/occupation information to assign industry and ideology codes to contributions
Federal law prohibits corporations, labor organizations, federal government contractors, and foreign nationals from donating directly to federal candidates. Instead, contributions to federal candidates come from corporate or labor PACs, owners, individual employees, and their immediate family members. 
Under federal law, all contributions over $200 in aggregate must be itemized and the donor's occupation and employer must be requested and disclosed, if provided. 
Employer names are standardized by OpenSecrets. When enough contributions cluster around one employer, that organization appears on the Top Contributors list. Totals include subsidiaries and affiliates. 
When available, OpenSecrets uses employer and occupation information to assign an industry code to the contribution. Totals for industries (and larger economic sectors) can be seen in each candidate and race profile, and in the Industry Profile section of the OpenSecrets website.
A list of sectors and industries may be found here.
How OpenSecrets classifies contributions from a single household
When individuals from the same household contribute, OpenSecrets assigns the primary income-earner's employer to all non-wage-earning household members. Household members are determined by OpenSecrets if they share the same last name and report the same address.
Example: Henry Jones lists his employer as First National Bank. His wife Matilda lists "Homemaker" and their 20-year-old daughter lists "Student." All three contributions are attributed to First National Bank — the household's source of income.
When OpenSecrets may assign an ideological code instead of an economic (industry) code
Most contributions are assigned an industry code based on the donor's occupation or employer. However, a contribution receives an ideological code instead when both of the following are true:
  • The contributor gives to an ideological PAC, and
  • The candidate has also received money from PACs representing that same ideological interest.
Why OpenSecrets groups individual contributions by employer
Clusters of contributions from individuals tied to the same employer can indicate organized bundling. In other cases, the reason for the contributions may be completely unrelated to the organization. 
Aggregating these contributions by employer adds critical context that is not visible in a standard list of individual donors. Grouping contributions by employer allows OpenSecrets to reveal patterns of support among people connected to the same organization and offers insight into shared affiliations or potential common interests.
Understanding clusters of contributions from people associated with particular organizations provides insight beyond the election cycle, as policymakers consider legislation and regulatory decisions that may affect the organizations and industries represented within these donor groups.
Note: Totals by industry and ideology are conservative estimates, as not all of the individual contributions have yet been classified by OpenSecrets.

Why don't the numbers add up?
Comparing figures across different sections of a candidate's profile can be difficult because they come from different data sources. Summary figures for federal officeholders — including "Total Raised and Spent" and "Sources of Funds" — are drawn from summary reports filed directly with the Federal Election Commission. All other figures are derived from itemized contribution records in FEC or state campaign finance filings that reach applicable itemization thresholds.

A lag exists between when the FEC and state agencies receive filings and when that data is processed and published on OpenSecrets. Summary figures are reported by the FEC quickly and posted to OpenSecrets promptly, but processing detailed records takes considerably longer due to significant efforts to clean, deduplicate, and treat the data with OpenSecrets classifications.

Itemized data may not match summary figures. Summary totals reflect what committees report directly to the FEC; itemized records, by contrast, go through extensive coding, correction, and deduplication before publication. These processes are necessary for accuracy and usability, but may result in itemized totals not matching up with summary totals.

For these reasons, summary figures on OpenSecrets may appear significantly higher when they are more current than the totals derived from itemized data. State officeholder data may reflect additional delays, as OpenSecrets aggregates it from numerous sources and formats.
How current are these figures?
The figures in federal profiles are taken from FEC databases of summary data, which are uploaded by the FEC every day. OpenSecrets updates federal figures for "Total Raised and Spent" and for "Sources of Funds" weekly. 

Candidates generally file quarterly financial disclosure reports with itemized contribution records while PACs may file monthly or quarterly. Figures based on detailed contribution records are updated, at a minimum, two weeks after major filing deadlines, allowing time to analyze and categorize contributions by industry and interest groups. While some PACs may file monthly, they may not be pulled and processed until the next quarterly deadline. 

State officeholder data is subject to variable lag times, as OpenSecrets compiles it from many sources across varying formats.
Why OpenSecrets groups individual contributions by employer
Clusters of contributions from individuals tied to the same employer can indicate organized bundling. In other cases, the reason for the contributions may be completely unrelated to the organization.

Aggregating these contributions by employer adds critical context that is not visible in a standard list of individual donors. Grouping contributions by employer allows OpenSecrets to reveal patterns of support among people connected to the same organization and offers insight into shared affiliations or potential common (or uncommon) interests.

Understanding clusters of contributions from people associated with particular organizations provides insight beyond the election cycle, as policymakers consider legislation and regulatory decisions that may affect the organizations and industries represented within these donor groups.

Note: Totals by industry and ideology are conservative estimates, as not all of the individual contributions have yet been classified by OpenSecrets.
