Funding profile

Frederica S. Wilson

Democrat · Representative for Florida’s 24th district

Career totals · 9 elections · 20102026

$4 million

raised by Wilson’s campaigns, everything from 2010 to 2026 added together.

67%

of it came from organized groups rather than from people giving on their own: at least $2.7 million from PACs, plus donations that organizations collected and directed.

$40,000

was spent about Wilson by outside groups. These are ads for or against them that their campaign cannot control, and none of it is part of the money above.

Every number on this page comes from Federal Election Commission filings, read on August 24, 2026. An election still under way keeps raising money, so its figure will have grown since. Check Wilson on FEC.gov

Where the money came from

Everything Wilson’s campaigns have reported raising, split by who gave it.

  • Other sourcesParty transfers, the candidate's own money, loans and smaller categories.5%$202,000
Federal Election Commission filings across 9 elections. Percentages may not total 100 because each is rounded.

Money bundled through organizations

Not every “individual” donation arrives on its own. An organization can collect checks from its members, already earmarked for Wilson, and deliver them in a bundle. The law counts that as individual money, but the organization still chose where it went.

$10,000

reached Wilson this way, 1% of everything they raised from individuals. Each donation came from a real person. The organization picked who got it.

  • AIPACThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee's political arm. It backs candidates of both parties it considers strong supporters of the U.S.-Israel relationship.$10,000

We can only count the organizations we have measured, so the real figure could be higher than this, never lower. Bundling is legal and widely used, and appearing here is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Who gave the most

Committee contributions from the 2024 and 2026 election periods, grouped by how the FEC classifies each giver. This covers a slice of the career total, and giving to a campaign is legal and ordinary.

Which industries

  • Technology & telecoms100% · $10,000

The FEC records that a committee is a corporation; it does not record its industry. Those labels are ours, kept in a published list anyone can check. Where we have not labeled a giver we say “Other” rather than guessing.

“Unclassified” means the FEC records no organization type for that committee, which usually means a leadership PAC. We show it as unclassified rather than guessing which industry it belongs to.

Their money and their votes, side by side

For each industry that gave to Wilson: the money, then the bills they voted on in that industry’s area of law. The Library of Congress assigns each bill’s subject, not us, so nothing here is picked to make a point.

This is not evidence that money bought a vote. People often donate to politicians who already agree with them. We show what was given and how Wilson voted; the judgment is yours.

We do not score these or say which way a vote favored an industry, because that would be our opinion dressed up as a finding. Each bill links to the chamber’s own roll-call record. Industries where fewer than three bills came to a vote are left out, because a handful of votes cannot show a pattern.

Money spent about this member

Outside groups, usually super PACs, may spend without limit on ads for or against a candidate, as long as they do not coordinate with the campaign. Wilson has no legal control over any of it.

This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Wilson. It was spent on advertising about Wilson, and money spent against a candidate is plainly not funding them. So it never gets added to the figures above.

$40,000

has been spent for or against Wilson by outside groups. $40,000 supported Wilson; $0 opposed Wilson.

Raised is everything the campaign took in for that election. From PACs is the slice of it given by political action committees. Outside spending is what other groups spent on ads about the race, for and against—it is not part of “Raised”. An election marked in progress is still raising money, so its figures are not final.

We never publish the names of individual donors, and anything we cannot source stays off the page. The methodology explains every such choice.
