Carson's contributions are moderately reliant on PACs and committees, which account for 57% of his $2.6 million raised, while 43% comes from individual donors. His industry-tied funding shows a labor union emphasis (25% of industry money), followed by health services, legal services, defense and aerospace, and transportation sectors at smaller shares. Individual donors employed in health services, law, and education represent a distinct contributor base separate from his PAC funding profile.
