What Alex Padilla's campaign committee reported to the Federal Election Commission for the current two-year cycle (FEC candidate S2CA00955). Campaigns report quarterly, so these totals trail by up to three months. Small gifts under $200 are not itemized, so individual giving is larger than the itemized figure. See the full filings at the FEC.
