The biggest donor entries across every race

One row per donor entry on record for this cycle, largest filed amount first. Some entries the records themselves describe as an aggregate across a cycle rather than a single filed contribution; each row's source says which. An amount reported, committed or refunded rather than filed comes after every filed one, with its basis beside it.
