Who it gives toWhich candidates and committees get its money?
Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Party support distribution$1K to 1 candidate
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
For candidates $1,025
Republican 100%
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Who this PAC gave to
$56,270 in 7 payments
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.

Committee money network
Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries. The figures here count each committee once, from the itemized transfers read for this section, so they will not match the payment counts under Who this PAC gave to.

Where the earmarked money was headed $15.3K named
A conduit collects money that is legally someone else’s: the donor picks the recipient, and the conduit passes it on. The recipient is named in the filing’s memo line with its FEC committee id, so each row below is matched on that id rather than on the committee name the filer typed.

LobbyingWhat does its sponsor lobby on?
No lobbying disclosures matched
No Lobbying Disclosure Act filings were matched to this committee. FEC and the Senate share no organization identifier, so lobbying is matched by name; a sponsor that lobbies under another name is not found.

Each committee that gave is followed to where its own money came from, in proportion to what it received: a committee that got half its money from one person is counted as passing half of what it gave on to that person. Each channel shows the committee the money came through and its place in the money tree. It shows who stood behind the money, not what that money was for, and an organization that need not name its donors ends the trail. It stops at a person, an organization, a committee with nothing on file here, or 3committees deep. A person who gave by more than one route appears under each, a name filed two ways may appear twice, and a person's job and city are as they filed them. "Also behind" counts the other groups, among those that moved $100,000 or more into races, in which $100,000 or more traces to the same person, other than those this money came through or went on to.

By the state each contributor wrote on the filing. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line together, so one committee or organization transfer can account for a whole state. Contributors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized and cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Total itemized disbursements $2,085,789
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 2,036 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
74 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $436,234 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.
