Dollar figures shown are QPQ-tracked donations and PAC contributions, not full FEC cycle receipts. "Spent against" shows independent expenditures where a PAC spent money opposing a candidate. "Full chain" means this candidate has at least one tracked donor and at least one recorded legislative vote, completing the money-to-policy chain. "PAC-targeted defeat" means the candidate lost after PACs spent independent expenditure money against them. Election results sourced from FEC filings. Vote records sourced from congress.gov roll call data.
