Independent expenditures are reported to the FEC by the spending committee, not by any campaign, and are keyed here to each member's own candidate ID; spending about a member's opponent is never shown as spending about the member. The member tables list every sitting member the committee's filings name, at any amount. Spending on candidates who are not sitting members of Congress (presidential candidates, challengers, candidates who lost) is in the cycle total but is not itemized, because this directory covers the 119th Congress. Contributors are the committee's own Schedule A receipts at their latest amended version, net of refunds, named only at $50,000 or more per cycle, and collected only for the committee-cycles the collector selected: the committee registered as a super PAC or hybrid PAC with an unauthorized designation in that cycle and its spending concerning one sitting member reached $50,000 in it (a cycle can fail the registration test while exceeding the amount); names, types, employers and locations are as the committee filed them, and the FEC entity code is the filer's own classification, so an organization is sometimes filed as an individual. A contributor's name links to a donor page only when the directory identifies the same person (name and ZIP code) among the itemized donors to members of Congress. The 2026 cycle is still in progress.
