Outside-money leaderboard

How much outside money — independent expenditures by PACs and super-PACs — was spent to support or oppose each member of Congress in a cycle. Independent expenditures are spent without coordinating with the candidate's campaign; this is a plain, descriptive ledger of what outside groups reported to the FEC, not a judgment. Only members with reported independent expenditures appear.

Independent expenditures are money outside groups spend for or against a candidate without coordinating with their campaign — a documented public record, not evidence of wrongdoing. Learn more →

Supporting / Opposing = the total independent expenditures outside committees reported to the FEC to support or oppose the member in the 2026 cycle (Schedule E). Outside groups = the count of distinct committees that reported spending for or against them. Independent expenditures are made without coordinating with the candidate — a documented public ledger, not evidence of wrongdoing. See any member's Outside spending on this race section for their per-cycle detail.
