Drawn: the spender, its direct sources and every node carrying at least 2% of its receipts — 4 smaller sources ($2.8M) folded into dashed “other” nodes; to the right, what the spender paid for and whom it targeted. Hover for the basics; click any node for its details and evidence, any edge for its evidence.

The sponsor's funding chain, read left to right into SENATE LEADERSHIP FUND; to the right, only what touches this creative. Click a node for its details and the evidence behind each link; + / − expands or folds what hangs off it.

Assumptions. Vendor dollars are Schedule E payments as filed. The ad's dollars are the midpoint of the range Google reports, not a filed figure, and are never added to the vendor dollars. A vendor → ad edge is drawn only when a person verified it from a source naming both (solid) or that vendor was the only digital vendor the sponsor paid in the week before and while the ad ran (dashed, inferred). Other vendors paid in that window are listed below as a sentence, not drawn: overlapping dates are not evidence of who placed the ad. Donor dollars on the left are pooled: none of them can be said to have bought this ad. Nothing here reaches the candidate.

Which vendor placed this ad

Unknown. Nothing filed joins a Google creative to a Schedule E payment, and no rule or person has linked this one.

In the week before and while this ad ran, SENATE LEADERSHIP FUND reported digital buys to STARBOARD ADVERTISING ($3,757,245 FEC ↗), production buys to DMM MEDIA ($61,737 FEC ↗) and digital buys to RICHARD SALES MEDIA ($20,000 FEC ↗). Same-window payments only: FEC records do not identify which vendor placed this ad, so these are not drawn as links.
