FEC S2VT00235Gifts from the PACs’ FEC reports through Aug 10, 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; 2 more PACs belong to organizations that lobbied only on those.
2 of Welch’s PACs have no federal lobbying on record or no organization Oathstar could match.
Filings lag, so recent gifts can take weeks to appear.
