Who has a stake in Risch
The organizations behind the money.
Risch's largest organized backing comes from Republican Jewish Coalition PAC. That counts the group's own PAC check plus the individual donations it bundled, not just the direct check.
› $1.3M in PAC money not itemized by group
Risch collected $1.3M of PAC money through a joint fundraising committee, which pools contributions and transfers them as a lump sum. It is counted in the organized total above, but FEC filings do not itemize which PACs it came from at the campaign level, so it is not attributed to a named organization here.

› What is organized money?
An organization reaches a member two ways. Its own PAC writes a direct check. And it bundles: it gathers individual donations from its supporters and routes them through its conduit. Both count here as one “organized” total. The bundled part is already inside the individual giving shown in the funding mix above. Here it is regrouped by the organization that gathered it, so you can see who did the organizing.
The same money, by industry
Which industries have a stake.
The same organized money, grouped by the industry of the organization that moved it. It shows the interests behind Risch's backing, not just the individual groups.
Plus $8K from organizations whose FEC name did not sort into an industry.

About this data
FEC-disclosed receipts for the 2015–2020 term. This is the disclosed money only. Spending by outside groups that do not reveal their donors, the dark money that set a record in 2024, never appears in these figures.
Every percentage here is a share of all receipts, not of individual contributions only. So the small-donor share counts transfers, loans, and other money in its base, and can read higher than figures that divide only by individual money.
Support for requiring the groups that spend on elections to name their donors, across both parties. Congress has not passed the DISCLOSE Act.
