“AFSCME members provide the vital services that make America happen. With members in communities across the nation, we advocate for fairness in the workplace, excellence in public services and freedom and opportunity for all working families.”

AFSCME fights to promote freedom and opportunity for all working people wherever, and whoever, they are.
For public service workers, we negotiate better pay and benefits because fighting for every member’s future is a form of respect.
We inform people about the issues that keep all working families up at night because informed advocates command respect.
These are the things we will never quit fighting for.

Working people deserve the same freedoms as corporate CEOs and millionaires.
That means not just making ends meet, but having the ability to take a loved one to the doctor or retire with dignity after a lifetime of hard work.
But the rich and powerful are chipping away at the freedoms people in unions have won for us all.

Health care is a right, not a privilege.
Among other policies, AFSCME supports strengthening the Affordable Care Act to reduce costs and increase access to health care, and opposes any effort to allow insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.
We support cutting the cost of prescription drugs by negotiating with drug companies.
We also support strengthening Medicare and Medicaid so that seniors and the most vulnerable have access to comprehensive, quality care.

Anybody who works hard their entire life should look forward to retiring with dignity.
But when it comes to retirement security, too many retirees are stuck in a race to the bottom as 401(k) plans have replaced guaranteed pensions.
AFSCME supports policies that break this spiral, including promoting well-funded pensions, consumer protections against high-fee Wall Street 401(k) retirement funds and protecting and enhancing Social Security.

Public service isn’t just a job, it’s a calling.
Unfortunately, even as AFSCME members are working to improve our communities, special interests are lobbying to rob our neighborhoods of the resources needed for high-quality public services.They are privatizing essential services like SNAP benefits and job training and placement.
Among the policies AFSCME supports are fully-funded, quality public services, ending reckless privatization schemes that let corporations take control of public services from taxpayers and making sure the wealthy pay their fair share to fund public services for all.

Labor rights are civil rights.
From Dr. King’s march with striking sanitation workers in 1968 to AFSCME’s involvement in today’s civil rights movement, AFSCME is committed to policies that promote social justice, making it easier – not harder – to vote.
AFSCME supports restoring the full power of the Voting Rights Act.
AFSCME works to end the poisonous influence of billionaires and corporate special interests in our political system and restrict corporate money in our elections.

When we join together, we have the strength in numbers we need to counter the influence of big money and big corporations.

People in public service deserve elected officials who support our right to organize together.
We deserve officials who support the priorities of working people, like access to health care and the right to vote.
Keep track of which lawmakers have your best interests at heart with our reports and Congressional scorecard.

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.
Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.
Spending against candidates is drawn on its own bar and left out of the support totals.
Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Every contribution on line 23 of the committee’s own Schedule B, which is the filing its summary totals are built from. That line covers federal candidates, party committees and other political committees alike, so a super PAC funding other super PACs appears here rather than under candidate giving.

Each loan as the committee’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 32,527 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $1.5M. FEC contributor lists are public records and cannot be used for commercial solicitation.

These are the payments the committee itemized to vendors, staff and other committees. Its $4,568,245 in independent expenditures is filed separately, against the candidate each was about, so it is counted in the split above and listed by candidate below, not here.
$16.7M spent from Jan 2025 to Oct 2026. Most in one report: $5.1M, September 2026.
The running total of what the committee’s FEC reports say it spent, independent expenditures included, with a point at the end of each report. The line is straight between reports because a report gives one total for its whole period. Numbered lines mark the elections that drew the most independent spending. Each expenditure counts toward the next election on its seat after the day it was made, and a seat is named when it drew at least a tenth of that spending. The line stops at the latest report, through Oct 14, 2026, at the dashed rule; elections after it are marked where they fall.
Published by the Commission against this committee’s own FEC ID. An audit is a periodic examination that reports findings; an administrative fine is a penalty for filing a specific report late or not at all. They are separate instruments and are not combined into a score here.

Source: the Commission’s audit-case and administrative-fine records, joined on this committee’s FEC ID, imported Oct 26, 2026. Enforcement matters (MURs) are published only against respondent names, with no committee identifier, so they are not shown here rather than being matched by name.
Besides giving through its PAC, American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees pays lobbyists to press Congress and federal agencies. Each quarter it, or a firm it hires, files a public report under the Lobbying Disclosure Act saying which topics it worked on, what it spent, and whom it contacted. This is what those reports say.
Each report files its work under official topics. The bar shows how often each topic came up across the reports; open one to read what was filed under it. Naming a bill says the organization lobbied on it, not which side it took.
The organization’s own reports give its total lobbying costs, including any firms it hired; each firm reports what this client paid it.
Reported twice a year by the lobbying filer. $852.5K is political giving that also appears in FEC filings. $86K is honorary, presidential-library and event money disclosed only here.
Matched by name: these reports are filed for “AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE COUNTY AND MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES”, found by searching “AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE COUNTY & MUNICIPAL”.

By the state each contributor wrote on the filing. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line together, so one committee or organization transfer can account for a whole state. Contributors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized and cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
