FEC H4MS02068Gifts from the PACs’ FEC reports through Sep 30, 2026; lobbying from LDA filings through Q3 2026; votes from Voteview. Broad must-pass bills sort below narrow ones and do not set the money-bar scale.
Broad must-pass bills are left out of the figures above; 38 more PACs belong to organizations that lobbied only on those.
40 of Thompson’s PACs have no federal lobbying on record or no organization Oathstar could match.
