What SENATE CONSERVATIVES FUND's influence footprint shows
SENATE CONSERVATIVES FUND is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $5.1M in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $5.1M advocating for candidates and $0 opposing them, across 19 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, SENATE CONSERVATIVES FUND's PAC contributions reached 10 federal politicians, led by Rafael Edward Ted Cruz at $72K.
