What this detector measures

Freshman or 2nd-term member with top-decile lifetime receipts — established donor pipeline indicating self-funding, JFC channel, or party-leadership backing.

What to ask the senator's office

  1. What share of the freshman receipts came from self-funding, JFCs, or party-leadership transfers?
  2. Who are the top 10 individual donors and which industries do they represent?
  3. Did the member's primary or general election rank as competitive enough to require this fundraising scale?
