Interest groups
Money to Congress, by interest group.
Combined career total
$3.71B
to 537 sitting members from 971 tracked committees and their donors, election cycles 2010–2026.
A group is a set of Federal Election Commission committees tracked together. Its total counts the PAC money those committees sent to sitting members, the independent expenditures they ran to support those members, individual contributions from donors who also give to the same committees, and individual contributions from people whose employer matches the group’s industry.
Totals cover sitting members only. Money to a member who has since left Congress is still in the filings, but it is not in these numbers.
