THE TAKETrailAI · auto-generated
Tonko's $4.3 million fundraising profile is heavily weighted toward PAC and committee contributions, which account for 61 percent of his total, with the remaining 39 percent from individual donors. His industry-tied money shows particular concentration in health services, labor unions, and electric utilities, each representing 14-17 percent of industry contributions, alongside smaller shares from legal and construction sectors. Individual donors employed in law, technology, and nonprofit work form a secondary donor base distinct from his PAC reliance.
