MINNESOTA SECOND DISTRICT VICTORY COMMITTEE is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $195.8M in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $0 advocating for candidates and $157.9M opposing them, across 30 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.
