Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.
Who this PAC gave to$341,000 in 232 payments
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.

Committee money network
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.

LobbyingWhat does its sponsor lobby on?
What Samsung Electronics America, Inc. lobbies on 2026 reports
Besides giving through its PAC, Samsung Electronics America, Inc. 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.
