Kinds of donor are read from the contributor's name and how the committee reported it: unions and labor councils, labor; associations, chambers and PACs, groups; party committees and the legislative leaders' caucus committees (Democratic Majority, the House Republican Organization and others), parties and caucuses; other candidates' committees ("Citizens for…", "Friends of…"), candidates. A candidate's own money is contributions in their name and transfers from their other committees. Names can mislead, so treat each kind as approximate.

From itemized contributions to the 2024 state candidates' committees since January 1, 2023. A person is a name and ZIP code; anyone else, a name as written, cleaned of spelling differences (“IL”/“Illinois”, “Inc.”) and merged where we've checked two spellings are the same donor. A company and its PAC are separate donors. By party: the candidates' parties (blue Democratic, red Republican, gray other parties).
