Follow the money
The people who actually paid for 2026
Super PACs are just envelopes. This is who filled them. Every person, company, nonprofit and PAC that gave at least $250K to the outside spenders is here, with their money traced through each group to the candidates it was spent for or against. A dollar counts as a win when the group that got it spent it on the winning side. Money spent in races still being counted is pending.

The dark money, and what the IRS knows about it
Nonprofits that gave to the super PACs. Their IRS filings show how much they raise and spend; the donors stay blank by design.
