What ENERGIZED FOR CHANGE's recorded federal activity shows
ENERGIZED FOR CHANGE is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $14K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $14K advocating for candidates and $0 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, ENERGIZED FOR CHANGE's PAC contributions reached 6 federal politicians, led by Sarah Elizabeth Mcbride at $1K.
