“As the only organization dedicated to electing Democratic governors and candidates, the DGA participates at all levels of campaigns, from providing resources to fund operations to helping articulate and deliver their messages.
The DGA also helps governors lead their states. We serve as a clearinghouse of best practices to help governors and their staff share their policy successes and learn from each other.”
Democratic Action, on its own site, democraticgovernors.org
Quoted from the committee's site, or its sponsor's or funder's where its own says nothing. The statement is filed under topics from a fixed list, chosen by AI models when two of three agree; which side it takes is in its own words.
2 priorities from the committee’s own site, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
Creating more economic opportunity, fully funding schools, fixing the damn roads, protecting personal freedom, and defending democracy.
What's At Stake ↗ (opens democraticgovernors.org at this heading)
From coast to coast, Democratic governors are creating good-paying jobs, investing in education, lowering costs, expanding health care access, protecting reproductive freedom, and fighting to preserve our democracy.
In 2023, the DGA made historic investments in now DGA-chair Governor Andy Beshear’s successful reelection bid in Kentucky, who proved once again that by focusing on compassion, unity, and kitchen-table issues, Democrats can compete and win anywhere.

Heading as listed on democraticgovernors.org ↗ (opens democraticgovernors.org at this heading)
Gov. JB Pritzker was sworn in as the 43rd Governor of Illinois on January 14, 2019.
Since then, Gov. Pritzker has been working every day to put Illinois’ government back on the side of working families.
Gov. Pritzker has delivered on his promises for the people of Illinois — increasing the minimum wage to a living wage, launching the largest infrastructure project in Illinois history, making college more affordable, expanding early childhood education, and legalizing and decriminalizing adult-use cannabis with the most equity-centric law in the country.

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.
No candidate-directed contributions or explicitly supportive independent expenditures were returned.
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.
| Recipient | Count | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Democratic party committees | 11 | $233.7K · 100% |
| All recipients | 11 | $233.7K |
No recipient here is matched to a candidate with a state on record.
Bars drawn to $84.1K, the largest gift total here. 2025–2026 filings.
Nothing loaded
Candidate contribution rows come from candidate committee Schedule A filings, the same rows the party chart above counts.
Money moving between this committee and other committees, matched on FEC committee ID rather than the name each filing was typed under. Both sides exclude memo entries. The figures here count each committee once, from the itemized transfers read for this section, so they will not match the payment counts under Who this PAC gave to.
Committees that reported giving to this one on their own Schedule A filings, grouped by the giver’s committee ID.
No committee-to-committee receipts were itemized this cycle.
Disbursements this committee itemized to another committee: candidate contributions, party transfers and payments alike, not contributions only.

$248.7K across 14 recipient committees, or 0.8% of everything this committee reports spending. The largest 12 are shown.

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.

A further $5,551,829 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, blank), so it is not ranked. Ranked from the largest 200 of 201 employer spellings filed; each share is of the money in those. Itemized receipts grouped by the words contributors filed. The FEC aggregates every Schedule A line here, so committee and organization money sits alongside individuals; this is not an industry classification. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($24,344,695) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 300 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
33 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $6,046,741 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.

The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
