Somos PAC

The community has to be an identity people share, not an age bracket or a political stance.Causes

Its wordsWhat does this committee say it is for?
Why this committee exists In its own words
“Somos PAC is a Latino-led, Latino-focused organization that runs some of the largest independent Latino voter engagement programs in the country. Our mission is to empower hard working Latinos in shaping the future of our democracy by increasing our participation in elections and by electing progressive candidates. Visit https://www.somosvotantes.com/ for more information and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and X.”
Quoted from the committee's site, or its sponsor's or funder's where its own says nothing. Any side it takes is in its own words.
No published list of positions
Its site sums up what it stands for in the statement above, and publishes no list of positions beyond it.
Who it gives toWhich candidates and committees get its money?
Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Party support distribution$5.8M to 13 candidates
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
For candidates $5,753,561
Democratic 98%
Against candidates $841,432
Republican 59%Democratic 41%
Spending against candidates is drawn on its own bar and left out of the support totals.
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Who this PAC gave to$2,400,000 in 2 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.

Nothing loaded
No candidate committee activity was returned for this PAC.
Candidate contribution rows come from candidate committee Schedule A filings, the same rows the party chart above counts.
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.

A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 53 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $9.3M. These gifts, as the FEC's contributor file lists them, come to more than the $9.3M the committee's own summary reports for this line; the two filings disagree. FEC contributor lists are public records and cannot be used for commercial solicitation.

The running total of what the committee’s FEC reports say it spent, independent expenditures included, with a point at the end of each report. The line is straight between reports because a report gives one total for its whole period. Numbered lines mark the elections that drew the most independent spending. Each expenditure counts toward the next election on its seat after the day it was made, and a seat is named when it drew at least a tenth of that spending.

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.
