Money the donor list doesn't show

$198,220 from small-dollar donors. Contributions under a $200 running total are not itemized, so federal law does not require their names to be disclosed at all.

$1,363 transferred in from joint fundraising committees the campaign itself takes part in. This is the campaign's own fundraising structure moving money, not an outside backer.
