From NE
37.1%
$1.47M of $3.97M itemized
Itemized contributions only ($200+). The FEC doesn't tag unitemized donors by state, so the small-dollar pool isn't included here.

6.2%
$262K of $4.20M from individuals
From individuals (not PACs)
56.7%
$1.70M 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.
