As an entry on the last page of Schedule A, enter the total amount of all contributions received from contributors whose aggregate
contributions
were less than $200 and are not reported elsewhere. Enter “Aggregate below Threshold” instead of the contributor's name. If filing

employer, occupation, and date.
Name of Contributor's Employer
If the contributor is an individual, enter the name of the organization or person by whom the contributor is employed (and

her supervisor). If the individual is self-employed, enter "Self-employed." If the individual is not employed, enter “Not employed.” If filing
electronically and the contributor is not an individual, enter “NA.”
If the contributor is an individual, enter the principal job title or position of that contributor. If the individual is self-employed,

for which the
organization does not disclose all of the information required under section 527(j). Enter “Withheld” as the contributor's name. If filing

-
The aggregate amount of expenditures made to that person during the calendar year as of the end of this reporting period was
at least $500
and

Treat expenditures as made if the organization has contracted or is otherwise obligated to make the expenditure.
In-kind expenditures must be included. These expenditures may be identified by including “(In-kind)” in the purpose field.
As an entry on the last page of Schedule B, enter the total amount of all expenditures paid to recipients whose aggregate

of, in consultation with,
or at the request or suggestion of a candidate or agent or authorized committee of a candidate.

If the recipient is an individual, enter the principal job title or position of that recipient. If the individual is self-employed,

principal job title or position of that recipient. If the individual is not employed, enter a descriptive title to explain
the individual's status
such as “Volunteer.” If filing electronically and the recipient is not an individual, enter “NA.”

Report each separate expenditure made to any person during the calendar year that was not reported in a prior reporting period.
If the expenditure
is an in-kind expenditure, report the fair market value of the expenditure.
