What DEMOCRATIC VALUES's influence footprint shows
DEMOCRATIC VALUES is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $75K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $0 advocating for candidates and $75K opposing them, across 1 race. 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, DEMOCRATIC VALUES's PAC contributions reached 34 federal politicians, led by Jared Golden at $500.

Data covers the 2023-2024 reporting period.
What is "total influence" and how is it calculated?
Total influence is a convenience sum of three different official populations: FEC campaign contributions (2024 election cycle), Senate LDA lobbying expenditures (2023 and 2024 filing years, summed), and USAspending federal contract obligations (fiscal year 2024). It is not a single-population metric and must not be read as a rate or strategy share. Channel dollars are shown side by side; see /methodology#cross-stage-populations.
