Funding — not the pond

FEC money track · 2024–2026 cycle · never part of the pond

Did they take money from PACs that funded both Democrats and Republicans? Money never moves the pond.

Campaign — they cashed it

$653,103 TAKE (dual-party PAC)

Took at least $1,000 from PACs that fund both parties.

Context. Not the pond. Taking the check is not a flip. Flipping after the check, and staying quiet, is.

Own it — Dual-party PAC

The office types a why in their own words after opening the mailbox link. It does not move the pond.

Largest dual-party PACs on this file.

AMERICAN ISRAEL PUBLIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE$25,303
THE CAPITAL GROUP COMPANIES, INC.$10,000
REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION$10,000

Traditional PAC contributions to candidate committees only. A dual-party PAC gave at least $1,000 to both parties. AIPAC in this table is committee C00797670. Legal, disclosed, hard-capped. Super PACs and dark money are not in this number. Taking this money is common. The amount is the story. HippoCricket doesn't put this in the pond.
