Who is spending
to support or oppose?

Independent expenditures are outside spending, not candidate receipts. Election.org preserves the position the spender reported to the FEC and keeps support, opposition, and unclassified records separate.

Source anomalies · 239 rows excluded from spending totals.

These rows exceed the amount threshold, conflict with the candidate’s reported office, or have no named spender in the connected FEC registry. Original amounts and identifiers remain available for review. This flag does not establish wrongdoing.

Independent means outside the campaign.

The FEC defines these expenditures as expressly advocating the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate without coordination. They are not added to the candidate’s campaign receipts.

Positions are filer-reported.

“Support” and “oppose” reproduce the spender’s filing. Election.org does not infer intent from a committee name, party, payee, or dollar amount.

Amendments are normalized.

Rows from superseded filings are removed through the FEC previous-filing chain so amended versions are not silently double-counted.
