Better Democracy PAC: dated and sourced figures, sized for each platform.

Format

Time rangeJan 2019 – Oct 2024

Adds up every report whose period starts in the range, as the committee reported it on its DR-2 filings; a report the state lists with only a year counts under January of that year, and the sentence says how many there are. Cash on hand is never added up: it is the closing figure of the most recently filed report in the range, named in the sentence. The money-raised bars and the filing history below follow the range; the cash-on-hand line always shows every report.

18 reports in the range Jan 2019 – Oct 2024: raised $1,697,795.04, spent $1,741,055.54, in-kind $43,260.50, as reported. Cash on hand at the end of the most recently filed of them (2024 · Oct 15 – Dec 31, filed 2025-01-13): $0.00.

Itemized money, month by month

Time rangeJan 2023 – Nov 2024

Adds up the itemized rows we hold whose date falls in the range: cash given to this committee, and payments it made, as listed donor-by-donor and payee-by-payee in the state's files. These are itemized figures, a different basis from the reported totals above, and the state's itemized files run behind its filings (see the notes below). The ranked lists of givers and payees below cover since 2023, whatever range is chosen.

Money in: no itemized cash row we hold is dated Jan 2023 – Nov 2024.

Money out, itemized payments dated Jan 2023 – Nov 2024: $909.12. To vendors and people $909.12, to other committees $0.00. Loan repayments are not counted here.

Where the money comes from

Since 2023-01-01 the donor-by-donor rows we hold for it carry no cash gifts; the rows we hold reach 2026-10-20: the publisher's extract, dated 2026-07-14, plus the Ethics Board's public search, read 2026-10-19. Separately, $43,260.50 in in-kind supportis on file for the span.

Where the money went

$909.12 in 26 payments to 3 different recipients since 2023, as this committee itemized them. A further $50,000.00 repaid loans — money going back, not spent on the campaign. Itemized payments run through 2024-11-18. Its filings report $909.12 spent since 2023 (newest report in our copy filed 2025-01-13). The two are the same to the cent.
