Each contribution of $1,000 or more must be reported on an A-1 within days of receipt, ahead of the quarterly report. These appear on a quarterly report, but no A-1 entry from the same contributor for the same amount within a week of the date was found. The largest: $2,000 from Jackson County Democratic Central Committee on 2022-09-30.

What to check

The A-1 may list the contributor under another spelling or a different amount (a split check).
