Quick answers
- Which PACs give the most money to Congress?
- Directly, since January 2023: the National Association of Realtors ($6.2 million to 488 current members), AIPAC ($5.1 million to 356 current members), the National Beer Wholesalers Association ($4.6 million to 439 current members), American Crystal Sugar Company ($4.5 million to 359 current members) and the American Bankers Association ($4.2 million to 398 current members).

- How much PAC money goes to members of Congress?
- $774 million from 4,088 PACs to the 539 current members since January 2023, 17% of the $4.57 billion their campaigns raised.
- What is a PAC?
- A political action committee: a group registered with the Federal Election Commission that raises money and spends it on elections, including by giving to candidates. Corporations, labor unions, trade associations and membership groups can sponsor one, which may raise money only from people tied to the sponsor (its employees, members or shareholders, for example). Independent (nonconnected) PACs can raise from the public, and many politicians have a leadership PAC to give to other candidates. In 2025–26 a PAC that gives to several candidates can give each one up to $5,000 per election.
- What is a super PAC?
- A committee that can raise unlimited sums from individuals, corporations, unions and other PACs, but only to spend independently: ads and other activity not coordinated with a campaign. It doesn't give to campaigns, so super PAC money isn't in the PAC totals here.
- What is a bundled (earmarked) donation?
- A donation from an individual that a group collects and passes on to the candidate it's earmarked for. Under federal rules it counts as that individual's own contribution (up to $3,500 per election in 2025–26), and the campaign reports it as earmarked through the group. It's separate from the PAC's own direct contributions.
