What THE GREAT TASK's influence footprint shows
THE GREAT TASK is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $31K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $0 advocating for candidates and $31K 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, THE GREAT TASK's PAC contributions reached 5 federal politicians, led by Colin Allred at $3K.
