Labor union

National Education Association

The largest teachers' union in the United States.

$2.3 million

given directly to sitting members of Congress, across their careers on file. Direct PAC contributions are capped by law and reported by name.

236

current members received at least one contribution—229 Democrats and 5 Republicans. A contribution is context, not proof of influence: plenty of groups give to members who already agree with them.

$436,000

spent separately on independent ads about candidates. That money never reaches anyone's campaign and is never added to the figure on the left.

Who received its money

Every sitting member this organization’s committees contributed to, largest career total first. The list is complete, not a top slice.

Spent about candidates, separately

Independent expenditures—ads this organization paid for on its own. Candidates cannot legally coordinate with this spending, it never enters their accounts, and this site never adds it to contributions. Column totals include spending about candidates who are not current members; the rows show sitting members only.

Spent supporting

$436,000

Ads urging a vote for a candidate.

Spent opposing

$0

Ads urging a vote against a candidate.

No sitting member on file.

Where these figures come from

Direct contributions are the Commission’s itemized committee-to-candidate records; independent expenditures come from the same filings and are reported separately. This organization files through C00003251 and C00489815—each link opens the Commission’s own page for that committee, so any figure here can be checked at the source. How we count, and what we refuse to claim, is on the methodology page.
