What ELECT DIVERSE DEMOCRATS PAC's influence footprint shows
ELECT DIVERSE DEMOCRATS PAC is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $5.7M in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $3.3M advocating for candidates and $2.4M opposing them, across 15 races. By law these expenditures are made independently of, and uncoordinated with, any campaign, and they are not subject to contribution limits, which is how a single committee can deploy this scale of money. They are reported here separately from contributions because they are a fundamentally different mechanism of political influence.
On the campaign side, ELECT DIVERSE DEMOCRATS PAC's PAC contributions reached 87 federal politicians, led by Rudy Salas at $15K.
