This committee's own pages do not say what it is for. Its largest funder, The Bench, gave 55% of its money this cycle ($750K), and describes its purpose:
“The Bench is supporting the next generation of leaders who prioritize service and solutions above party orthodoxy. We support community-rooted candidates with real-world experience—teachers, nurses, veterans, farmers, and public servants—who understand their communities and are ready to lead. These campaigns often don’t receive a fair chance in areas where winning requires grit, authenticity, and hard work. The Bench provides them with the tools, strategy, and support to run serious, solutions-focused campaigns that challenge the status quo, connect with voters, and deliver real results for the people they serve.”
The Bench, on its own site, thebench.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. A funder’s share is of this committee’s total receipts, from its itemized FEC filings.
No published list of positions
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.
No contributions itemized
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.

Disbursements this committee itemized to another committee: candidate contributions, party transfers and payments alike, not contributions only.

Built from FEC Schedule A and Schedule B filings for the selected cycle. A committee only appears here if the money was itemized under its FEC committee ID.
The largest of the committees is listed. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total this committee reports.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 2 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 1 itemized contribution was filed this cycle, totaling $100K. FEC contributor lists are public records and cannot be used for commercial solicitation.

| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 contribution · 100% | $100,000 |
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.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 contribution · 100% of ranked | $100,000 |
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.

Total reported disbursements $1,367,936
Every dollar this committee reported spending this cycle, split by the lines it reports against. Open a line to see who was actually paid on it. FEC filings through Sep 21, 2026.
These are the payments the committee itemized to vendors, staff and other committees. Its $941,787 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.
Total itemized disbursements $383,364
$1.4M spent from May 2026 to Sep 2026. Most in one report: $883.3K, Jul 16 – Sep 21, 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.
No lobbying disclosures matched
