What Civic Empowerment Coalition's recorded federal activity shows
Civic Empowerment Coalition is an outside-spending committee: rather than contributing to candidates' committees, it reported $91K in independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission - $91K advocating for candidates and $0 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.
Frequently asked questions
How much recorded federal activity does Civic Empowerment Coalition have?
Civic Empowerment Coalition 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.
Where does the data about Civic Empowerment Coalition come from?
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.
What is "combined activity" and how is it calculated?
Combined activity (internally 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 a cross-dataset discovery index only, not causation, effectiveness, or political influence. Channel dollars are shown side by side; see /methodology#cross-stage-populations.
