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$4.4M to 7 candidates
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
For candidates $4,350,282
Democratic 100%
Against candidates $2,102,910
Republican 90%
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
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.
No contributions itemized
No candidate contributions were itemized by this committee in the selected cycle.
Show candidate activity and the money network
Candidate and election activity as the recipients filed it
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.
Committees funding this one
Committees that reported giving to this one on their own Schedule A filings, grouped by the giver’s committee ID.
$500K from 1 committee, counting every itemized receipt this cycle.
Committees this one funds
Disbursements this committee itemized to another committee: candidate contributions, party transfers and payments alike, not contributions only.
No disbursements to other committees were itemized this cycle.
Built from FEC Schedule A and Schedule B filings for the selected cycle. A committee only appears here if the money was itemized under its FEC committee ID.

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.

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. The line stops at the latest report, through Oct 14, 2026, at the dashed rule; elections after it are marked where they fall.

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.
