▸Citing this page
The headline figure is $638K for, $0 against.
Per-committee totals are FEC's own aggregate for this candidate and committee in the 2026 cycle, restricted to the committees listed in super_pacs.json.
Primary source: FEC Schedule E filings via OpenFEC. The rows behind this page are outside_spending_totals.json, read 2026-09-11; the manifest carries the commit and checksums.
- Other committees may also be spending in this race; only the listed AI networks are counted here.
- Notices and reports overlap; do not sum the filing lines.
- A filer amended some of these lines after filing them; FEC totals count the amended figure, and the earlier one is shown as amended_from.
Suggested wording: “according to FEC Schedule E filings via OpenFEC, compiled by WhoVotedWhy as of 2026-09-11”. Cite the filing or roll call for the event and this site for the selection and totals.
