Money and votes

2025–26 cycle · through Jun 30, 2026Method

1 of the 4 PACs that fund Durbin belongs to an organization that also lobbied on bills he faced a vote on, cosponsored or sponsored.

A filing shows that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took. The PAC gives the money; the organization behind it does the lobbying.

Gifts from the PACs’ FEC reports through Jun 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; 3 more PACs belong to organizations that lobbied only on those.

Filings lag, so recent gifts can take weeks to appear. Durbin’s leadership PAC (Prairie Political Action Committee) is reported separately.
