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.
Another candidate’s own campaign committee, or a joint fundraising committee. Money one campaign gives another counts here.
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.
On the Democratic side by their own words, their main funder, or a published source a reviewer cites. A caucus’s PAC is here. A group with one cause is filed under that cause instead.Placed by our rules or a model’s suggestion, and not yet checked by a person. The money still counts here; a person may move it.
Nothing yet says what these committees are: no statement, site, government record or funder we can use. Their money counts here until a source turns up. We do not guess.
“Proposed” marks money from groups whose place is not yet reviewed by a person. Each group is placed by its filings and its own words, never by which party it backs. Every interest · How groups are placed

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 918 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
55 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $646,143 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.
