Politicians' PACsPACs 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.Parties & politicians

Its wordsWhat does this committee say it is for?
No published list of positions
This committee’s site publishes no list of positions we could read, and we found no statement of why it exists. We do not write one for 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$68K to 15 candidates
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
For candidates $68,000
Democratic 100%
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Who this PAC gave to$68,000 in 18 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.
Committees funding this one

A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 209 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $25.5K. FEC contributor lists are public records and cannot be used for commercial solicitation.

LobbyingWhat does its sponsor lobby on?
No lobbying disclosures matched
A name search for “ROOTED IN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP” in Lobbying Disclosure Act filings found no issues reported. FEC and the Senate share no organization identifier, so lobbying is matched by name; a sponsor that lobbies under another name is not found.
Rooted in Community Leadership PAC is registered with the Federal Election Commission as a PAC (qualified). It is a leadership PAC. Official FEC summary: Federal Election Commission committee record.

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.
