Campaign money
Money is a signal, never a position. A flag below means a donor matched a category. It is not a finding that anything improper happened.
Helene Duhamel for South Dakota
The itemised donations on file add up to $47,498, while the summary figure collected for Helene Duhamel is $37,992. The two have not been reconciled, most likely because they cover different filing periods. Both are shown rather than choosing one.
