Itemized gifts from individuals: $1,815,798. From PACs and other political committees: $84,240. Debts owed by the campaign: $2,210.

What Chris Van Hollen's campaign committee reported to the Federal Election Commission for the current two-year cycle (FEC candidate S6MD03441). 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.
