Contributions (incl. in-kind) from PACs, party and other candidate committees to Rod Blum's campaign committees in the 2013–14 cycle, net of refunds, from the committees' own FEC reports. Donations from individuals passed through WinRed or ActBlue are not included. Company and ticker matched by name; no ticker means no listed company was found; for other committees the sponsor as registered with the FEC. Member's trades counts every disclosed trade in that company's stock. Filers that aren't committees are combined into one line.
