204 committees

Contributions (incl. in-kind) from PACs, party and other candidate committees to George Whitesides's campaign committees in the 2023–24 cycle, net of refunds, from the committees' own FEC reports. Donations from individuals passed through WinRed or ActBlue are not included.

Member's trades counts every disclosed trade in that company's stock. Filers that aren't committees are combined into one line.
