How we counted
The same rules, the same dates and the same code for both House party leaders. His committees: Jeffries for Congress (his campaign) and JEFF PAC (his leadership PAC).
PAC money: every contribution from a PAC or other political committee (FEC line 11C, memo entries left out) on both committees' own filed reports, January 1, 2025 to 2026-10-14. These add up, to the cent, to the FEC's summary totals for the same dates: $2,765,400 to the campaign and $917,000 to the leadership PAC.[12][4][11]
One organization means one company, union or group: PACs the FEC lists with the same connected organization are counted together, as they share one limit. A PAC that lists no connected organization is counted on its own and labeled; it is not left out. Maxed out both means $10,000+ to the campaign ($5,000 each for the primary and general) and $10,000+ to the leadership PAC ($5,000 a year).[1]
On the page: every organization that gave $15,000+ across the two committees, plus every group that collected its members' checks and forwarded them (earmarked donations, which the campaign reports as memo entries naming the group). ActBlue and WinRed are payment platforms, not sponsors, and are left out for both leaders.[8]
Industry groups are approximate, by keyword in the PAC's FEC name. Lobbying: an organization's 2025 and 2026 federal lobbying reports, matched by client name.[13]
