Groups that state a purpose of raising workers’ pay and economic fairness that are not a union or a union’s PAC.
PACs a politician sponsors or runs: a leadership PAC (the FEC’s designation D), a committee the FEC lists as sponsored by a candidate, or a super PAC the politician’s own team runs and press reports tie to them. One that exists only for that politician’s own race is under Groups spending on one race.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Sep 30, 2026.
All 374 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
15 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $92,423 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
