Funding profile
Mike Crapo
Republican · Senator from Idaho
Career totals · 6 elections · 1998–2028
$25.1 million
raised by Crapo’s campaigns, everything from 1998 to 2028 added together.
49%
of it came from organized groups rather than from people giving on their own: at least $12.3 million from PACs, plus donations that organizations collected and directed.
$110,000
was spent about Crapo by outside groups. These are ads for or against them that their campaign cannot control, and none of it is part of the money above.
Every number on this page comes from Federal Election Commission filings, read on August 24, 2026. An election still under way keeps raising money, so its figure will have grown since. Check Crapo on FEC.gov
Where the money came from
Everything Crapo’s campaigns have reported raising, split by who gave it.
- Individual donorsMoney given by people, in their own name.39%$9.9 million
- Political action committeesOrganized groups: company-run committees, unions, trade associations.49%$12.2 million
- Other sourcesParty transfers, the candidate's own money, loans and smaller categories.12%$3 million
Money bundled through organizations
Not every “individual” donation arrives on its own. An organization can collect checks from its members, already earmarked for Crapo, and deliver them in a bundle. The law counts that as individual money, but the organization still chose where it went.
$53,000
reached Crapo this way, 1% of everything they raised from individuals. Each donation came from a real person. The organization picked who got it.
- NORPACA New Jersey-based pro-Israel PAC that bundles member donations for candidates of both parties.$30,000
- AIPACThe American Israel Public Affairs Committee's political arm. It backs candidates of both parties it considers strong supporters of the U.S.-Israel relationship.$24,000
- Club for GrowthA conservative group focused on lower taxes and smaller government. It is known for backing primary challengers against Republicans it considers insufficiently conservative.$50
We can only count the organizations we have measured, so the real figure could be higher than this, never lower. Bundling is legal and widely used, and appearing here is not evidence of wrongdoing.

The FEC records that a committee is a corporation; it does not record its industry. Those labels are ours, kept in a published list anyone can check. Where we have not labeled a giver we say “Other” rather than guessing.

“Unclassified” means the FEC records no organization type for that committee, which usually means a leadership PAC. We show it as unclassified rather than guessing which industry it belongs to.
Money spent about this member
Outside groups, usually super PACs, may spend without limit on ads for or against a candidate, as long as they do not coordinate with the campaign. Crapo has no legal control over any of it.
This is not a donation. Nobody gave this money to Crapo. It was spent on advertising about Crapo, and money spent against a candidate is plainly not funding them. So it never gets added to the figures above.
$110,000
has been spent for or against Crapo by outside groups. $109,000 supported Crapo; $862 opposed Crapo.
Largest outside spenders

Election by election
The career figures above are the sum of these elections. Each row links to the Commission’s page for that election, where the numbers match line for line.
| Election | Raised | From PACs | Outside spending | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2028in progress | $2.2 million | $922,000 41% | none | FEC |
| 2022 | $7.7 million | $3.3 million 44% | $103,000 | FEC |
| 2016 | $5.9 million | $3.3 million 55% | $167 | FEC |
| 2010 | $5.1 million | $2.4 million 48% | $6,971 | FEC |
| 2004 | $2.4 million | $1.5 million 61% | none | FEC |
| 1998 | $1.8 million | $795,000 44% | none | FEC |
Raised is everything the campaign took in for that election. From PACs is the slice of it given by political action committees. Outside spending is what other groups spent on ads about the race, for and against—it is not part of “Raised”. An election marked in progress is still raising money, so its figures are not final.
We never publish the names of individual donors, and anything we cannot source stays off the page. The methodology explains every such choice.
