According to the most recent campaign finance reports filed with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has raised $540,932 and spent $272,300 between Jan. 1, 2021 and Mar. 31, 2022. Ellison is currently ranked sixth in state-level donations in the 2022 election cycle.

In Minnesota politics, state-level candidates and political action committees have received $36.9 million in total donations between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. The 10 largest donors gave more than $2.9 million, or 8 percent of all contributions.

Across the 10 states included in Transparency USA’s database, several prominent women dominated donor lists in the 2020 election cycle. Some, like Karla Jurvetson and Deborah Simon, targeted key state-level elections across multiple swing states. Others focused their contributions closer to home, supporting candidates and PACs in their state of residence. While Transparency USA focuses on state-level campaign finance, all of these women have supported federal candidates and causes as well. See those contributions here.
