THE TAKETrailAI · auto-generated
Thompson's fundraising profile is heavily weighted toward PAC and committee contributions, which constitute 65 percent of his $3.5 million total, with the remaining 35 percent from individual donors. Industry-tied PAC money shows concentrated support from labor unions (21 percent of industry funding), followed by lawyers and lobbyists (14 percent), transportation (8 percent), agriculture (7 percent), and defense and aerospace (6 percent). Individual donors employed in the private sector primarily work in law, health services, and government roles, reflecting a donor base distinct from the PAC composition.
