Turning Point PAC INC. is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $1.4M in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $884K advocating for candidates and $510K opposing them, across 4 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, Turning Point PAC INC.'s PAC contributions reached 18 federal politicians, led by James E. Hon. Banks at $5K.

Data covers the 2023-2024 reporting period.
