Where Thomas Cotton's campaign money comes from, by four headline measures. Total receipts for cycle 2026: $5.41M · FEC committee C00499988

From AR
16.9%
$733K of $4.32M itemized
Itemized contributions only ($200+). The FEC doesn't tag unitemized donors by state, so the small-dollar pool isn't included here.
From small donors (under $200)
17.5%
$839K of $4.80M from individuals
From individuals (not PACs)
71.9%
$1.07M from PACs and party committees
ActBlue and WinRed pass-through donations are counted as individual contributions here, which matches how the FEC totals them — they're conduit services, not the donor.

FEC Schedule E. Each committee links to its FEC.gov profile, where you can see who funded it. Conduit platforms (ActBlue, WinRed) are notshown here — they process donations to candidates, not independent expenditures, so structurally they don't belong in this section.
Top individual donors
Largest individual contributors to Thomas Cotton's committee this cycle. Each name links to that donor's receipts on FEC.gov for verification. Conduit platforms (WinRed, ActBlue) are excluded — they're pass-through services, not the donor.
