Newhouse's fundraising is moderately reliant on PACs and committees, which account for 58% of his $5.1 million in direct contributions, with the remaining 42% coming from individual donors. His industry-tied contributions are concentrated in agriculture (19% of industry money), followed by lawyers and lobbyists (10%), construction and engineering (7%), and smaller shares in defense and aerospace and securities and investment. Individual donors employed in agriculture, legal and lobbying services, and securities and investment represent his cleaner donor base outside of organized committees.
