Raised
$35,796

Raised counts contributions from individuals, businesses, PACs, and party committees, including small contributions of $200 or less that North Dakota reports as lump sums; the candidate's own money and reimbursements are not included, and the size chart covers itemized individual contributions only. North Dakota requires a donor's occupation only when an individual gives $5,000 or more in a reporting period, and never for judicial candidates, so the occupation chart shows filed occupations only and appears only when they cover at least 20% of itemized individual money. North Dakota candidates report spending only on the year-end statement, so spending is unavailable until then rather than zero.

Direct contributions by size
  • $5,000+$10,000
  • $1,000-$4,999$1,000
  • $1-$99$50
