Money Map › Payments to Vendors

Payments to Vendors

Who campaigns, parties and committees paid, by payee organization, from FEC and NADC expenditure filings. Same rules for every committee.
Period: 2015-16 cycle (Jan 2015 – Dec 2016) · NADC years: 2015, 2016 — from NADC legacy pre-2022 dataset: itemized transactions only, unitemized totals not included, paper-era data entry; coverage less complete than 2022+
What this shows. Payments to vendors are lawful, itemized disclosures that committees must report. This view lists what FEC and NADC filings report each committee paid each payee organization. It does not indicate wrongdoing. A vendor's relationship to a candidate (for example a candidate-owned firm) is shown only when a filing states it; otherwise none is asserted. Payments to individuals (staff, reimbursements) are combined into one "Individuals (aggregated)" line and no names are shown. Transfers between committees are excluded here (see Money Map).
