Gillibrand's $9.3 million fundraising profile is heavily weighted toward individual donors, who accounted for 89% of contributions compared to 11% from PACs and committees. Industry-tied money in her donor base clusters in legal and financial services—lawyers and lobbyists represent 29% of industry contributions, while securities and investment professionals account for 21%—with smaller shares from technology, health services, and real estate; these same sectors appear prominently among her individual employed donors. She received $336,000 in party and leadership-aligned contributions tracked separately from industry money.
