Where Warren Paxton's campaign money comes from, by four headline measures. Total receipts for cycle 2026: $7.60M · FEC committee C00901918

From TX
83.9%
$5.63M of $6.71M 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)
20.4%
$1.62M of $7.96M from individuals
From individuals (not PACs)
99.7%
$26K 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.

Outside money — independent expenditures
Money spent about Warren Paxton — TV ads, mailers, digital — by outside groups (super PACs and similar). Individuals can give super PACs unlimited amounts, so this is where the mega-donor money lives, far above the $7,000 cap that applies to direct contributions. Cycle 2026.

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 Warren Paxton'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.
