Liccardo's fundraising profile is heavily weighted toward individual donors, who account for 89 percent of his $8.2 million in direct contributions, with PACs and committees providing only 11 percent. Industry-tied money concentrates in technology (25 percent), securities and investment (19 percent), and lawyers and lobbyists (17 percent), a pattern reinforced by his individual donor base, which similarly draws from these three sectors. He has received $1.2 million in party and leadership-affiliated contributions and maintains no recorded stock trades on file.
