Funding profile

Kamala Harris

Democrat · 49th Vice President

Career totals · 2 elections · 20202024

<1%

of everything Harris has raised across 4 years, from 2020 to 2024 came from political action committees — organized groups rather than individual voters. That is $256,000 of $1.22 billion raised in all.

A vice president has no campaign committee of their own. They run on a ticket, not their own campaign, so the figures here are from her presidential campaigns.

These are career totals — the sum of the 2elections listed further down, each of which links to the Commission’s own page where the figure matches line for line. See Harris on FEC.gov

Money spent about this member

Outside groups may spend without limit for or against a candidate, provided they do not coordinate with the campaign. This money never appears in Harris’s own filings, and Harris has no legal control over it.

This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Harris. Outside groups spent it on advertising for or against Harris across their elections. We report it separately from campaign funding because the law treats it separately — and because a group spending against a candidate is plainly not funding them.

$1.08 billion

has been spent for or against Harris by outside groups. $524.5 million supported Harris; $560.4 million opposed Harris.

What is not published yet

We would rather show less than show something unsourced.

Industry-by-industry breakdowns, named individual donors, and how this member’s votes align with the groups funding them are all planned. They are absent because we have not verified them, and a funding profile is only worth reading if every line on it has been checked. Our methodology explains what we verify before publishing.
