In office since Jan 6, 2009Also raised through joint fundraising committees: $458,723. That money is shared with the other candidates in each committee, so it is not part of the total above. How we count.
Money covers itemized individual contributions over $200 in the FEC cycles currently loaded, net of refunds to donors. It is not a career total, and it leaves out small-dollar and unitemized receipts. Votes and ideology cover the 119th Congress.

Where the money comes from
Inside OR versus everywhere elseShare of itemized receipts by the contributor state on each filing. A filing with no state recorded counts as outside OR, so the in-state share is a floor rather than an estimate. Out-of-state giving is ordinary and lawful; it is reported here because it is part of the public record and is not otherwise easy to see.

Itemized columns cover individual contributions over $200 in each FEC cycle currently loaded — not career totals. In-state share uses the contributor state on each filing; filings with no state recorded count as outside OR. Scores are Nokken-Poole dimension 1 from Voteview, re-estimated each Congress; Voteview reads the scale from liberal at −1 to conservative at +1. DonorTrail reports the score and rank and leaves the label to the source. FEC figures computed Oct 20, 2026.
Reading this page
What these records do and do not showThis page places two independent public records side by side: itemized campaign contributions reported to the Federal Election Commission, and roll-call votes published by the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate. The running tab lists FEC receipts and Voteview scores in adjacent columns; DonorTrail draws no link between them. DonorTrail does not assert that any contribution influenced any vote, and nothing here should be read as a claim of cause. Here is the record; the conclusions are yours to draw.
