Coverage Beyond the Percentage
Geographic aggregate: $4,660,159.81. Unitemized individual contributions in the same reported period: $645,826.81 (21.74% of individual contribution totals). Their geography is not included here. PAC contributions are separate.

Source, Freshness and Reconciliation
Source: FEC OpenFEC, supplied as a workbook. 0 API requests and 399 cache hits were recorded for this workbook run. The workbook date is not a new-fetch timestamp for each cached response.
FEC itemized-individual summary line: $2,325,394.66. Raw geographic-aggregate difference: 100.4%. Joint-fundraising transfers: $2,020,872.29; individual refunds: $1,005,585.97. These are reconciliation context, not extra receipts to add to the geographic aggregate.
Conduit and joint-fundraising reporting can affect comparisons. The workbook’s adjusted benchmark band is a screening rule, not a transaction-level reconciliation. A missing flag is not proof that every source record reconciles.
