Independent expenditures are paid by outside groups to ad and mail vendors. None of that money reached this entity's committee, and none of it is counted as a receipt.
Outside Spending and Dark Money
Dark money is election spending by organizations that do not disclose their donors: 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations, 501(c)(6) trade associations, and similar non-committee filers (FEC Form 5 and Form 9). Registered super PACs also make independent expenditures. But they itemize their donors with the FEC, so their spending is not dark money. Figures below are never combined with disclosed-donor totals.
Outside Spending About This Entity
Every independent expenditure and electioneering communication in the tracked filings that names this entity, by any filer. Most filers here are super PACs that disclose their donors. Only the non-committee nonprofits among them are dark money.
| Filer | Amount | Type | Support/Oppose | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SEIU COPE (SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION COMMITTEE ON POLITICAL EDUCATION) | $3,700 | Form 5 IE | Supporting | Jun 27, 2023 |
Money spent by non-disclosing organizations on ads and communications referencing this candidate. These dollars do not flow to the candidate's committee.
Methodology Disclosure
Dark money figures are derived from FEC Form 5 (independent expenditures by non-committee organizations) and Form 9 (electioneering communications). These filings capture spending on ads and election communications but do not reveal the identity of the organization's donors. QPQ totals may differ from benchmarks like the Brennan Center's estimates. QPQ includes all Form 5 filers, while some benchmarks count only a subset of non-disclosing nonprofits. Grant chain data is from IRS Form 990 Schedule I and may not include all years or all grantee organizations.
