What STOP PROJECT 2025's influence footprint shows
STOP PROJECT 2025 is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $213K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $42K advocating for candidates and $171K opposing them, across 3 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, STOP PROJECT 2025's PAC contributions reached 13 federal politicians, led by Andrea Salinas at $3K.

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.
