Kinds of donor are read from the contributor's name and the section of the report it's listed in (individuals or political committees): unions and labor councils, labor; associations, chambers and PACs, groups; party committees, parties; other candidates' committees, candidates. A candidate's own money is contributions in their name and transfers from their earlier campaigns' committees. Names can mislead, so treat each kind as approximate.

From itemized contributions to the 2026 state candidates' committees on reports to the Department of State filed in 2025–2026 (latest amendments). A person is a name and ZIP code; anyone else, a name as written, cleaned of spelling differences (“PA”/“Pennsylvania”) and merged where we've checked two spellings are the same donor. A company and its PAC are separate donors. By party: the candidates' parties (blue Democratic, red Republican, gray other parties).
