Where can I find official fec records for donations to jasmine crockett's campaign?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
The Federal Election Commission’s public database is the authoritative source for official records of donations to Jasmine Crockett’s federal campaign; her candidate profile and committee-level filings are available on FEC.gov and can be queried, browsed and downloaded [1]. Independent aggregators such as OpenSecrets provide faster-read summaries derived from those FEC filings but are not the primary official repository [2].
1. Where the official records live: the FEC candidate profile and committee pages
The central entry point for official filings is Jasmine Crockett’s candidate page on FEC.gov (candidate ID H2TX30178), which aggregates report data and identifies the principal campaign committee “JASMINE FOR US” (committee ID C00795450) and links to receipts and disbursements that the campaign filed with the commission [1].
2. What to look for on FEC.gov and how to use it
On the FEC candidate and committee pages users can browse “receipts” (individual contributions), access quarterly and pre‑ and post‑election reports, and download raw data or PDF filings; those pages consolidate the itemized contribution lines that underlie headline totals on other sites [1]. The FEC interface also supports searches by donor name, ZIP code, employer or occupation fields that appear on itemized contributions, though those fields reflect what was reported to the commission rather than independent verification.
3. Committee filings vs. ActBlue intermediary entries — why both matter
Campaigns often receive funds through third‑party fundraising platforms such as ActBlue; complaints and reporting note that Crockett’s committee received a large volume of ActBlue‑sourced donations that are reflected on FEC filings, and those aggregated ActBlue totals have been cited in recent media coverage of an FEC complaint about some suspect micro‑donations (reports cite roughly $870,000 in ActBlue receipts to the campaign per the complaint) [3] [4]. The FEC records will show the committee’s receipt from ActBlue and the itemized donor lines as reported; investigators and reporters then examine those itemizations when questions arise.
4. Faster summaries and analysis: OpenSecrets and other trackers
OpenSecrets hosts profiles and summary numbers for members of Congress based on the FEC’s summary reports and derived contribution records; the site explains that its summary figures are based on FEC filings while its processed, itemized numbers can lag because of analysis time [2]. Aggregators are useful for quick context but are derived from the FEC’s filings, so the original FEC PDFs and data tables remain the underlying legal record [2].
5. Practical steps to retrieve the records now
Begin at the FEC candidate URL for Jasmine Crockett (H2TX30178) to view campaign receipts and committee links and click through to “Browse receipts” for itemized donations or to download the committee’s filed reports [1]. If seeking summaries or contextual charts, consult OpenSecrets’ Crockett profile to see compiled totals and PAC/individual splits drawn from those FEC filings [2]. For disputed or newsworthy donations reported via ActBlue, cross‑check FEC itemizations with the committee’s periodic reports and any administrative enforcement notices cited in press coverage [3].
6. Limits of available public reporting and what it does not prove
Public FEC records show what a campaign reported receiving — including donor name, amount, date, occupation and employer as entered in filings — but do not by themselves adjudicate disputes about whether donations were authorized or fraudulent; recent complaints alleging suspect ActBlue transactions were filed with the FEC and reported in the press, and the commission has restricted comment on pending matters, so the filings are the record while enforcement outcomes remain separate [3].
