All election candidates in Vermont have to file their campaign contributions with the Secretary of State, including who contributed and how much. But the state only publishes the raw data, making it difficult to draw broader conclusions.

VTDigger analyzed that data to give readers a glance at who the top fundraisers are and who they're receiving money from. Click on an individual candidate below to get an idea of what they've earned so far in the 2020 cycle.

Candidates can contribute to their own campaign ("Self") or get donations from family members ("Family"). Previous campaigns or shuttered campaigns can also contribute to the person's campaign and are listed as "Candidates."

Political Action Committees, or PACs, and businesses are two types of organizations that can make political contributions to candidates. PACs must also register with the state. They can also independently spend money on ads without making contributions to candidates.
