These following 2 tables will only represent "Individual" and "In-Kind - Individual" donations, which is capped at $1,000 for the year. These tables will not include numbers from Party, PAC's, loans or interest. The top 20 for these tables were adjusted to account for this, so the order will likely change. The first one takes a look at if the donor lives in Rhode Island or out of state.

Lastly, this table focuses on the amount donated per donation. Like last time, I use the value that opensecrets.org uses for small vs. large donations. They consider anything $200 or less as a "small" donation so anything between 201 - 1000 is counted under "large".
