Politicians& Their Money
Who funds them, who lobbies them, and what they deliver in return.
The 2024 election cycle shattered all previous fundraising records. Candidates for federal office collectively raised over $15 billion — a staggering sum that reflects both the stakes of modern politics and the outsized influence of wealthy donors and special interests.
The average successful Senate campaign cost $26 million, while competitive House races routinely topped $10 million. But the money tells only part of the story. Behind every dollar is a donor with an agenda, a lobbyist with a client, and a policy outcome that benefits someone.
PowerMap tracks 49 politicians — 26 Republicans and 21 Democrats — who collectively raised $2.0B in 2024, averaging $41.8M per politician. We trace every dollar back to its source and forward to its consequence.
