Aging (Special) Committee

What this page covers

This page summarizes the campaign finance of the people who currently sit on the Aging (Special) Committee. It does not represent money received by the committee itself. A congressional committee is not a Federal Election Commission political committee: it has no FEC committee ID, it raises and receives nothing, and it files no campaign reports. Every amount below belongs to an individual member's own campaign, or was spent independently about that member by someone else.

Members serve on several committees at once, so these cohort figures overlap with other committees' and must never be added across them.

• 4 of 13 current members have no complete FEC record for this cycle. They are listed with the reason and are excluded from every total, ranking, and chart rather than counted as zero.

The 13 current members

Every current member of this committee, in the committee's own roster order by default. Selecting a measure below ranks them by it and draws one aligned bar per member on a single shared scale. Only one measure is ever drawn at a time: receipts and cash on hand are different quantities, and putting them on one axis would compare things the filings do not compare.

Members without a complete record for this cycle

These members are counted in the roster and excluded from every total, ranking, and chart above. None of them is treated as having raised nothing: an unlinked member, an unfiled cycle, and a partially collected record are three different facts, and the reason is stated for each.

Contributions to candidates, involving current members

Money these committees gave to the authorized campaign committees of individual members of the Aging (Special) Committee, out of their own funds. Each amount was received and reported by a member's own campaign. None of it was given to the Aging (Special) Committee, which receives no campaign money and files nothing with the FEC.

$6,710,182 from 888 political committees, involving 9 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Money forwarded to candidates, involving current members

This money was not given by the committees named below. Each is a conduit: individual donors contributed and earmarked the money, and the conduit transmitted it to members' campaigns. It is kept out of the contributions ranking above because the donors are individuals, not these committees.

-$1,042 from 9 political committees, involving 9 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Jointly raised money passed on to participants, involving current members

A joint fundraising committee raises money for several participants at once and passes each one its share. A transfer below is that split arriving at a member's campaign, not a committee choosing to fund that member, and it is never counted as a contribution.

$16,000 from 2 political committees, involving 3 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Reported contributions the registration does not permit, involving current members

These records and these registrations disagree. The FEC's committee-to-candidate records show these amounts reaching members' campaigns from committees whose registration for this cycle does not permit contributing to a candidate committee. Both statements are the FEC's own; MyRepTracker does not know which is wrong, so the amounts are shown here and counted as contributions nowhere on this page.

$1,171 from 1 political committee, involving 1 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Independent spending supporting candidates, involving current members

Independent expenditures advocating for individual members. This spending was not coordinated with, received by, or controlled by any member's campaign, and it was certainly not received by the Aging (Special) Committee. It is never added to what a member raised.

$87,043,357 from 137 political committees, involving 6 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Independent spending opposing candidates, involving current members

Independent expenditures advocating against individual members. This spending was not coordinated with, received by, or controlled by any member's campaign or by the Aging (Special) Committee. Money spent against a member is not money that member raised, and the two are never combined.

$149,554,051 from 80 political committees, involving 5 of the 13 current members, in the 2022 cycle. Every share below is a share of that amount and of no other kind of activity.

Every political committee, one kind of activity at a time

The complete ranked list behind the sections above. Kinds are never merged into one table: a contribution a member received and an independent expenditure a member never received are not the same money, and a single ranking covering both would say they are.

What these numbers mean

The committee received none of this money

A congressional committee is a body of the House or Senate. It has no bank account, no FEC registration, and no campaign. Everything on this page belongs to the campaigns of the individual people who currently sit on it, or was spent independently about one of them by an outside organization.

A contribution is not an independent expenditure

A contribution is money a political committee gave to a member's own campaign committee, which that campaign received and reported. An independent expenditure is money spent about a member without coordinating with them; no campaign received or controlled it. The FEC treats these as different activities, and they are never combined here.

The cohort is the roster, and the roster changes

These figures cover whoever sits on the committee as of the roster date in the header. A member joining or leaving changes the cohort and its fingerprint, which is why both are printed: a figure quoted from this page can be checked against the exact roster it came from.

Cohorts overlap and must not be added

Members serve on several committees at once. A member's receipts appear in the cohort of every committee they sit on, so adding cohort totals across committees would count the same campaign's money many times over. No page here does that.

A member is counted once

Some members hold more than one FEC candidate identity, usually after moving from the House to the Senate. Their campaign is counted once in these totals, exactly as it is on their own page, and duplicate membership records for one person are one seat on the roster.

Missing is not zero

A member with no verified FEC identity, no filings for the cycle, or a partially collected record is listed with that reason and left out of every total, ranking, and chart. Treating any of them as zero would understate the cohort and misrepresent the member.

Where the money went is not why

A ranking of committees whose money reached members of one congressional committee is a description of filings. It is not evidence of influence, coordination, an agreement, or a reason for any vote, and nothing here is scored, weighted, or ranked to imply one.
