Political action committee

The Desert Caucus

The total below is every FEC-disclosed contribution this committee made to currently-serving U.S. House members that we track, combining direct, bundled, and earmarked dollars over the cycles in our data. It is not the committee's total fundraising or spending; independent expenditures are reported to the FEC separately.

PAC contributions are presented as context, not as part of the grade calculation. We don't claim that money causes votes; we show them side by side and let visitors draw their own conclusions.
