Follow the money, 2024
2 races and 4 candidates with a figure filed in the records behind this page. Each figure is printed as filed, with the filing link. An amount reported, committed or refunded rather than filed, or lent by the candidate, says so beside it and comes after every filed one.
Candidates run alphabetically by surname inside each race. Ohio rotates ballot order by precinct, so no order here is the ballot's.

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. A loan a candidate made to their own campaign is not a donation, so it is left out of this list and shown with the candidate's other entries.
