Its wordsWhat does this committee say it is for?

Why this committee exists In its own words

“Ryan James Girdusky founded the 1776 Project PAC in 2021 to help elect conservatives to local and state school boards across the country. Before founding 1776 Project he worked as a political consultant, writer, and journalist”
The 1776 Project PAC, on its own site, 1776projectpac.com

CauseA wing of a party

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.

9 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.

Who it gives toWhich candidates and committees get its money?

Each part reads different filings, so counts and totals can differ.

Party support distribution$7K to 1 candidate

Direct PAC contributions and independent expenditures explicitly reported as support, by the party of the candidate they went to.

For candidates $7,000

Republican 100%

Contributions are reported money, not endorsements; a PAC giving to both parties is common.

Who this PAC gave to$7,000 in 2 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.

Candidate contribution rows come from candidate committee Schedule A filings, the same rows the party chart above counts.

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.
