What this page doesn’t show

  • Spending by affiliated nonprofits that isn’t reported to the FEC
  • State legislative races
  • 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 $5.4M from 24- and 48-hour reports filed since the groups’ last regular reports. How this works.
