LaLota's fundraising is split evenly between PAC contributions and individual donors, with $1.4 million from party and leadership committees constituting a notable share of his overall $6.0 million raised. Industry-tied contributions show concentration in legal and lobbying services (13%), real estate (12%), and labor unions (10%), with smaller shares from securities firms and defense contractors; individual donors employed in these sectors—particularly law, investment, and real estate—follow similar patterns.
