What NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION ACTION FUND's influence footprint shows
NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION ACTION FUND is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $310K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $310K advocating for candidates and $0 opposing them, across 2 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, NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION ACTION FUND's PAC contributions reached 18 federal politicians, led by Martin Heinrich at $3K.
