Founder and Chairman, Penske Corp. · BLOOMFIELD, MI
99.9% to Republicans. What they gave is every gift committees filed with the FEC from Roger Penske this cycle, refunds taken off. A gift to a PAC counts toward the side its gifts to candidates and its ads helped, split when it helped both; a campaign or party counts wholly to its party. The traced figure is each group's share of money from them times what the group put into 2026 federal races, added up; it is worked out by proportion, not filed. Job and city are as they filed them with the FEC, public records. How the money is read. Something wrong, or a person filed two ways?
