The money map

Industry → group → who it bought, 2024

Follow a dollar left to right. Industries fund super PACs (and write PAC checks straight to candidates); those groups spend it for or against candidates; the candidates win or lose. Ribbon width is money. Pick an industry to isolate its trail.

Where the money flows

Gifts to a group are split the way that group spent its money, by party helped and by result. Unspent money is left out.

$1.82B shown. Hover a node to trace it; click a group for its page.

Left column: industries, from donors' employers and PAC sponsors. Middle: the super PACs they gave to (top groups shown, the rest folded together) plus PAC checks written straight to candidates. Right: where it landed. Super PAC gifts are pro-rated by how each group split its spending; money a group has not spent is left out.
