Federal-election donation records compiled by OpenSecrets list Molly Shannon as giving $3,300 to Kamala Harris for President on 2024-07-22.
Notes: OpenSecrets compiles FEC-reported contribution data.
A direct financial contribution to the Democratic presidential nominee is a strong anti-MAGA alignment signal because it materially supports Trump's general-election opponent. The source is a high-credibility political-finance database based on FEC filings, though not the raw filing itself, so confidence is high but slightly below first-party filing certainty.
