Where the money went

$6,494.74 in 63 payments to 5 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. A further $730.00 repaid loans — money going back, not spent on the campaign. Itemized payments run through 2026-04-20. Its Spent column below is the full reported figure; where that is larger, the difference is spending the state's itemized file does not carry — most recently because the newest reports have not reached it yet.
