Money Behind This Bill
Donors who made direct contributions to legislators on the final roll call, ranked by the total we track. Independent expenditures are excluded here and totalled separately above. The dollar figures are tracked totals across all of each donor's giving to these voters, in every cycle held here. They may undercount the donor's full FEC activity. The contributions are publicly disclosed, and no violation of law is alleged. A contribution to a legislator does not establish that it influenced that legislator's vote.
