Funding profile

JD Vance

Republican · 50th Vice President

Career totals · 2 elections · 2022–2028

of everything Vance has raised across 6 years, from 2022 to 2028 came from political action committees — organized groups rather than individual voters. That is $1.2 million of $18.9 million raised in all.

A vice president has no campaign committee of their own. They run on a ticket, not their own campaign, so the figures here are from his 2022 U.S. Senate campaign in Ohio.

These are career totals — the sum of the 2elections listed further down, each of which links to the Commission’s own page where the figure matches line for line. See Vance on FEC.gov

Money spent about this member

Outside groups may spend without limit for or against a candidate, provided they do not coordinate with the campaign. This money never appears in Vance’s own filings, and Vance has no legal control over it.

This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Vance. Outside groups spent it on advertising for or against Vance across their elections. We report it separately from campaign funding because the law treats it separately — and because a group spending against a candidate is plainly not funding them.

$38.8 million

has been spent for or against Vance by outside groups. That is roughly 2 times what the campaigns themselves raised. $16.9 million supported Vance; $21.9 million opposed Vance.

What is not published yet

We would rather show less than show something unsourced.

Industry-by-industry breakdowns, named individual donors, and how this member’s votes align with the groups funding them are all planned. They are absent because we have not verified them, and a funding profile is only worth reading if every line on it has been checked. Our methodology explains what we verify before publishing.
