    *The totals in this line may not equal the sum of the numbers in the corresponding columns as the receipts and disbursements have been adjusted to account for transfers between party committees and the numbers have been rounded. **Other party committees include the Libertarian National Committee, Libertarian National Congressional Committee, Green Party of the United States, Green Senatorial Campaign Committee, Constitution Party National Committee, and the Reform Party of the United States of America.

    Individuals, for whom contributions to national parties were limited to $33,900 per year during the 2017-18 election cycle, were the largest source of federal funds for party committees’ traditional accounts. Democratic and Republican party committees reported receiving $504 million and $440.3 million, respectively, from individuals. PACs and other political committees contributed $96.7 million to Democratic party committees and $77.1 million to Republican party committees as of December 31, 2018.

    Democratic and Republican House campaign committees transferred $33.2 million and $31.8 million, respectively, from their campaign accounts to their national congressional party committees. Committees representing Democratic Senate candidates transferred $3.7 million to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. Committees representing Republican Senate candidates transferred $2.3 million to the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee.

    Provisions of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015 (H.R. 83), signed into law in December 2014, enable national party committees to establish accounts to defray certain expenses incurred with respect to Presidential nominating conventions, national party headquarters buildings, and election recounts and contests and other legal proceedings.

    The resulting new accounts of national party committees reported receiving $159.8 million between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018. Of that total, the new Democratic national party committee accounts received $53.9 million, while the corresponding Republican national party committee accounts received $105.8 million. New accounts established by other national political parties received $65,575.
    Headquarters accounts reported the highest receipt total across all the newly established national party committee accounts: $110.9 million. New recount and convention accounts raised $37.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively, through December 31, 2018.

    Data summary tables for reports submitted by political party committees to the Commission through December 31, 2018 can be found here.

    *Nonconnected committees include Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees, Committees with Non-Contribution Accounts and Leadership PACs. Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees are committees that may receive unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, and labor organizations for the purpose of financing independent expenditures and other independent political activity. Committees with Non-Contribution Accounts solicit and accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations, labor organizations, and other political committees to a segregated bank account for the same purposes as Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees, while maintaining a separate bank account -- subject to all of the statutory amount limitations and source prohibitions -- that is permitted to make contributions to federal candidates. The data above includes receipts and disbursements from both bank accounts of Committees with Non-Contribution Accounts. Leadership PACs are political committees that are directly or indirectly established, financed, maintained or controlled by a candidate or an individual holding federal office, but are neither authorized committees of the candidate or officeholder nor affiliated with an authorized committee of a candidate or officeholder. Like other multicandidate PACs, a leadership PAC may contribute up to $5,000 per election to a federal candidate committee. **The totals in this line may not equal the sum of the numbers in the corresponding columns as these numbers have been rounded. Instead, the bottom-line totals correspond to PAC Table 1.

    Contributions by PACs to presidential and congressional candidates seeking office in the 2017-2018 election cycle totaled $163,000 and $465.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2018. PAC contributions to Senate and House candidates totaled $81.5 million and $383.9 million, respectively. Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees are prohibited from making contributions to candidates.

    Data summary tables for reports submitted by PACs to the Commission through December 31, 2018 can be found here.

    V. Independent Expenditures

    Independent expenditures reported to the Commission through December 31, 2018 totaled $1.3 billion.* Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees accounted for $820.5 million of all independent expenditures disclosed to the Commission, Committees with Non-Contribution Accounts reported $72.9 million, and other PACs reported $59.6 million. Independent expenditures made by persons other than political committees totaled $115.5 million, and party committees reported independent expenditures totaling $232.7 million.

    Data summary tables for independent expenditure filings submitted to the Commission through December 31, 2018 can be found here.

    VI. Electioneering Communications

    Electioneering communication filings totaling $15.3 million were reported to the Commission in connection with activity in 2017 and 2018. An electioneering communication is a broadcast, cable or satellite communication that refers to a clearly identified federal candidate and is publicly distributed within 30 days prior to a primary election or within 60 days prior to a general election for the office sought by the candidate, and is targeted to the relevant electorate. These communications are not expenditures or independent expenditures.

    The data summary table for electioneering communication filings submitted to the Commission through December 31, 2018 can be found here.

    VII. Communication Costs

    A provision of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the Act), allows corporations and labor organizations to communicate to a “restricted class” of individuals on any subject, including express advocacy of the election or defeat of any Federal candidate. The costs of such communications must be reported to the Commission when the costs exceed $2,000 per election. This provision of the Act pre-dates the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC, which struck down the ban on independent expenditures and electioneering communications financed by the general treasuries of corporations and labor organizations.

    The Commission received 58 such filings during the reporting period, disclosing spending of $10.8 million in costs for communications to organizations’ restricted class between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2018.

    The data summary table for communication cost filings submitted to the Commission through December 31, 2018 can be found here.
