What this page doesn’t show

  • Company and trade association lobbying
  • Employee giving by employer (coming after the election)
  • Utility spending, which is mostly at the state level
  • Money given to party committees and other PACs, which is listed on each group’s own page

Totals cover the 2025-26 cycle, from FEC data as of Oct. 6, 2026. Each group’s total counts its contributions to candidates’ campaigns, the bundled contributions it forwarded for its donors, and its outside spending for and against candidates. Bundled money belongs to the individual donors, so it’s shown separately from the group’s own giving and never counted twice. Outside spending includes $8.4M from 24- and 48-hour reports filed since the groups’ last regular reports. How this works.
