MAKE THE ROAD ACTION INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURE COMMITTEE is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $441K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $441K advocating for candidates and $0 opposing them, across 8 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.
MAKE THE ROAD ACTION INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURE COMMITTEE has no campaign contributions, lobbying expenditures, or federal contracts on record in this dataset, sourced from FEC filings, Senate LDA disclosures, and USAspending.gov records for 2023-2024.
PlainInfluence aggregates data from three federal sources: the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for campaign contributions, the Senate Office of Public Records for lobbying disclosures under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, and USAspending.gov for federal contract awards. Data covers the 2023-2024 reporting period.
Total influence is the sum of an organization's campaign contributions, lobbying spending, and federal contract values. It provides a single metric for comparing the overall political and economic footprint of organizations in the federal arena. Each component is independently sourced from official government filings.
