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. A group that is part of an older organization (a trade, union or caucus PAC, or a party leaders’ super PAC shell) stays in its own place even when it spends on one race, and one that has spread across races is filed by its side.Placed by our rules or a model’s suggestion, and not yet checked by a person.

Who stands behind the outside spending $2.9M traced back through the groups that spent it
Each group that spent in this race is followed to where its own money came from, and what it spent is split by those shares: a group whose money was 60% one person's counts as 60% of its spending theirs. Of what traced, 15% to named individuals, 35% to organizations, 0.7% to tax-exempt organizations that need not name their donors, 10% to committees nothing more could be followed from, 39% not itemized in the filings.

Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Whitsonunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

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, 2025.
All 87 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
1 payment was reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $198 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.
