About these numbers
Amounts are from each committee's own reports to the Lt. Governor's office, 2024 on, added up by report year. Shares describe where a committee's money came from overall; they don't trace any specific dollar to a specific gift. Donor names are linked to another committee only when the name matches that committee's filing name exactly (after removing punctuation and the like) or was checked by hand. Individual donors are counted, not named.
These are amounts Utah Forward Party reported to the Lt. Governor's office for 2024 on, as of 2026-11-14. Being listed as a donor or recipient means money was reported; it says nothing about why. Official reports →
