Kinds of donor start from the code the PDC gives each contribution (individual, business, PAC, union, party, caucus, the candidate's own) and read the name for the rest: tribal names are tribal governments; unions and labor councils, labor; associations, councils and PACs, groups; other candidates' committees, candidates. A donor's codes can differ from one report to the next, so each donor takes the code on most of its money. Small contributions count as individuals. Treat each kind as approximate.

From the contributions the 2026 candidates' committees reported to the PDC. A person is the words of their name and a ZIP code; anyone else, a name as written, cleaned of spelling differences (“Assn”/“Association”, “WA”/“Washington”). A company and its PAC are separate donors. By party: the candidates' parties (blue Democratic, red Republican, gray other parties and nonpartisan offices).
