Cycle totals cover every candidate the PAC gave to. The member table below covers the 11 who sit in Congress today — the rest are challengers and members who have since left. The most recent cycle is still open, so its total is what has been filed so far.

Totals are every contribution on file across the 2024–2026 cycles, not a single payment.
How this was measured
Source — Federal Election Commission bulk data — itemised committee-to-candidate contributions (Schedule B, pas2).
Window — 2024–2026 election cycles, every contribution on file.
Filters — Direct contributions only. Independent expenditures for or against a candidate are excluded — that money is not given to anyone and is governed differently. Conduit and earmark pass-throughs are excluded so the same dollar is not counted twice.
What this cannot show — Money from individuals who work at the company, dark money through 501(c)(4)s, and leadership-PAC transfers are outside these totals. Money to candidates who never took a seat IS counted in the totals but cannot appear in the member table. Corporate PAC giving is legal, disclosed, and a fraction of total political money.
As of — Filings through 2026-06-09.
