Where their votes land Each scale runs between the two parties. The left end is the side most Democrats took on a set of hand-picked roll-call votes, the right end the side most Republicans took, and John Thune's marker sits at the share of those votes they cast on the Republican side. Votes that most of both parties agreed on are left out, because they cannot show which side anyone was on.
Overall average of 10 values
Democratic side 99 · Voted with Republicans almost every timeRepublican side
0 is the Democratic side of every party-split vote and 100 the Republican side of every one. This is the average of the 10 value positions below that rest on 4 or more votes, each counted once however many votes stand behind it; 2 values below have fewer than 4 votes and are drawn but not counted in it.

Where the money came from Receipts into John Thune’s own campaign committee over the 2025–2026 election cycle, through June 30, 2026.
Small individual donors 5.2% $215,176 Large individual donors 26.3% $1,089,623 PACs 18.3% $758,000 Transfers in 21.4% $885,211 Other and unclassified 28.8% $1,193,889 Total receipts 100% $4,141,900 Embed this chart What these categories mean
Small individual donors People whose giving stayed under $200 in total. The FEC does not require them to be named, so who they are is genuinely unknown — not merely unlisted.
Large individual donors People whose giving passed $200, which is the point at which the campaign must report their name, employer and occupation.
PACs Political action committees — corporate, trade, union and ideological. Money from an organisation rather than from a person.
Transfers in Money moved in from another committee the candidate is authorised by, typically a joint fundraising committee.
Other and unclassified The remainder once every category above is accounted for: federal funds, offsets, interest, and anything this site could not classify. It is a residual, not a kind of donor. This is money the campaign itself received. It is not everything spent to win the seat. It excludes leadership PACs, and it excludes independent expenditures and other outside spending — money spent to elect or defeat a candidate by groups they may not lawfully coordinate with, which in a contested race can exceed everything shown above. It is not personal income or net worth, which are a separate filing altogether. Figures are as filed with the Federal Election Commission and are only as current as the last report, covering through June 30, 2026; a cycle still running is a partial count. Check this filing on fec.gov .
Personal finances Separately from the campaign money above, John Thune files a report about their own money: what they own, what they owe, what they earn outside Congress, and every stock trade they make. The law requires it, and every figure in it is a range rather than an amount — which is why the columns below are ranges too.
What they report owning, and owing Reported assets $330k to $1.1M 41 lines, 12 with no figure Reported debts $10k to $15k 1 line Every column is read from $0. The solid height is the total of the low ends of the bands the filer ticked; the pale cap runs on to the total of the high ends, and is the range the form allows — not a margin of error and not a guess. Assets less debts comes to $315k to $1.1M — a range, and not a net worth: the form does not ask about a personal residence that earns nothing, about congressional salary, or about the exact value of anything.

The band printed beside each group is the real answer, and it is wider than the arc. 12 holdings carry no figure at all and are in no arc.

A district link opens that seat as the plan in force draws it . Seat numbers outlive the lines beneath them, so for an older term that is not the ground they held.
