Political Activity

FEC records show at least 100 federal contributions in the most recent 100 records on file, totaling $352,704; the figures are a truncated sample rather than a complete contribution history FEC. That sample includes $190,050 to Democratic recipients, $105,851 to Republican recipients, and $56,803 to recipients with an unknown party designation FEC. The largest listed recipients were the National Republican Senatorial Committee ($52,400), DCCC ($51,500), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee ($35,000), Republican National Committee ($27,251), and DelBene for Congress ($24,100) FEC.

These donations are matched to this person by name only, so some may belong to a different person with the same name: FEC filings can include a donor's employer and city, but our matching does not check them against what we know about this person.
