2026 outside spending · who is behind it

What this does not show.
A gift to an outside group is not a gift to any candidate, and nothing here shows that a funder chose, saw or approved a particular ad. When a funder is a nonprofit, a company or another group, the FEC record names that donor and stops: the people and companies who fund it are not shown unless it reports them to the FEC. Groups that do not file with the FEC, state-level groups and late 24- and 48-hour reports are not included.
FEC bulk data read November 4, 2026. Outside spending is independent expenditures for or against named 2026 House and Senate candidates, itemized by committees in the FEC bulk files, primaries included, with the general-election share as each filer designated it. Funders are itemized receipts in the FEC bulk files for the cycle. Late 24- and 48-hour reports, party coordinated spending, communication costs, independent expenditures reported by groups that are not political committees, state-level groups and groups that do not report to the FEC are not included. Outside spending is, by law, made without coordinating with the candidate. A contribution or expenditure is not evidence of a vote, favor, agreement or wrongdoing.
