Where Pete Ricketts's campaign money comes from, by four headline measures. Total receipts for cycle 2026: $4.87M · FEC committee C00832436

From NE
39.0%
$1.21M of $3.09M itemized
Itemized contributions only ($200+). The FEC doesn't tag unitemized donors by state, so the small-dollar pool isn't included here.

5.5%
$180K of $3.26M from individuals
From individuals (not PACs)
56.0%
$1.38M 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.
