Steve & Sue Mandel

Investor, Self Employed · GREENWICH, CT

Given in the 2026 cycle: $35.2M; $35,167,400
To Republicans' side: $59.4K; $59,362
To Democrats' side: $34.8M; $34,767,057
Of 2026 race spending traces to their money: $8.5M; $8,543,867

99% to Democrats. What they gave is every gift committees filed with the FEC from Steve & Sue Mandel 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?
