Where the outside money came from
For the biggest spenders, the money is followed upstream while a single donor supplied at least half of it. From FEC receipts.
- Edf Action Votes ← $10.7M from Environmental Defense Action Fund (75% of its reported receipts) No donor disclosure
- Cffe PAC ← $2.0M from Pivotal Ventures (55% of its reported receipts) No donor disclosure
These totals come from the 24 and 48 hour notices outside groups must file before ads run. They are the disclosed floor. Spending by groups that do not file independent expenditure notices, such as issue ads paid for by 501(c)(4) groups, does not appear here.
