I want to see if I am on a list of smaller donors, less than $1000. I can only find lists of big donors. As a Trump voter and campaign volunteer living in a blue state, I am worried about being discriminated against by employers. Or once hired, even if the employer didn't search for my contributions, a disgruntled coworker might make trouble. I have a rather common name so I figure I could always say it was someone else with the same name.

Opensecrets.org or fec.gov would generally be the two places to check.

If you donated less than $200, ( in a single donation or several donations totaling less than $200) you likely will not show up. If your donations were in excess of $200, by law the campaign would need to report your name, etc.

Unless you are looking at a political job, I highly doubt any employer will search for political donations.

Checked those two sites and didn't find any lists of individual contributors. Thanks anyway.

Play with the filters and you should be able to find it. I just found a few donations over the years I made of less than $200, others weren't there. I have never donated more than $200 ( I think $100 is the most)

Thanks so much! I never would have found it. They have every contribution even less than $10 when I bought some campaign merchandise. As it happens, a woman with my name made contributions to Hillary, so my bases are covered!
