Special notes:
- Not all reports are equal and some candidates have more detailed reports than others. In some cases, money spent over the period is more than the amount raised, meaning the candidate had money from previous reporting cycles. Candidates need only report donations of more than $100. Reporting times vary.
- Money Raised: includes in-kind donations as well as cash.
- Individual Cash: money raised from residents of more than $100.
- PAC/Outside Cash: money raised by donations from outside groups, such as Super PACs, lobbyists or unions, of more than $100.
