The Federal Election Commission has asked for more detail about thousands of donors to Minnesota U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar who gave less than $200 each, a group of contributors who poured more than $800,000 into her re-election bid over a three-month period.
Agency staff sent a letter to the Minneapolis Democrat's campaign in late November, seeking more information about the large share of cash from individuals giving $200 or less - the maximum allowed before triggering donor disclosure requirements - in her latest quarterly filing. Such contributions accounted for more than 75% of the $1.1 million Omar reported raising from July to September.
