THE TAKETrailAI · auto-generated
Lucas's fundraising profile relies heavily on PACs and committees, which account for 64 percent of his $4.1 million total, with the remaining 36 percent coming from individual donors. His industry-tied contributions are concentrated in agriculture (25 percent), commercial banking (13 percent), and securities and investment sectors (9 percent), with smaller shares from defense and aerospace and oil and gas interests. Individual donors employed in commercial banking, agriculture, and law and lobbying represent the primary non-PAC source base, creating overlap with his top institutional funding sectors.
