Largest PACs and committees giving to the campaign this cycle, from FEC committee-to-candidate filings. The FEC doesn't tag donors by industry — the names usually tell you, and OpenSecrets has the formal industry breakdown below.

Where the money goes

live· 2026 cycle

Kennedy's campaign has spent $7.1M across 1,111 reported disbursements.

Top payees
  • TAG LLC$4.6M
  • MDI IMAGING & MAIL$286K
  • WINRED$273K
  • INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE$243K
  • AMERICAN EXPRESS CREDIT CARD$217K
  • KAP STRATEGIES$197K
Fundraising & event venues
  • THE HOTEL MONROEMONROE, LA$284

These are the venues, caterers, and hotels the campaign paidfor events — the money trail to where fundraising happened, with the vendor's city and state. It is not a guest list or attendance: who came, who hosted, and “what the crowd was like” aren't in any public record, so we don't guess at them.

Categories are grouped by keyword from the free-text purpose each campaign reports to the FEC, so the split is a guide, not an audit. Otheris spending whose reported purpose didn't clearly fit a category — campaigns describe disbursements inconsistently. Totals are for the candidate's campaign committees this cycle; see the FEC for the line-by-line record.
