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.

Groups set up for one candidate or one race: no parent organization, and 80% or more of their spending on that race, for a candidate, against their rival, or both.

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 Oct 14, 2026.
All 403 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
29 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $84,013 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.
