“Common Sense for America PAC supports candidates who have the courage to lead with the common sense that made America the greatest country in all of human history.
While the radical left gets more unhinged and crazy by the day, we defend our core American values with straight talk and hard work. That’s the only way we can make sure America’s future is brighter than our past.”

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.

Woke elitists think they can spend your money and raise your kids better than you can.
They’re not pulling any punches.
These progressive extremists are gaslighting Middle America every day and twice on Sundays.
To defeat their militant agenda, we need to elect leaders who have backbone and who will get back to the basics.

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.
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.

Bars drawn to $10K, the largest gift total here. 2025–2026 filings.
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.

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.

Gifts of $200 or less ($11,180,501) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
