Corporation
Principal Life Insurance Company
What follows is what the filings show: who received this organization's money, and how much.
$611,000
given directly to sitting members of Congress, across their careers on file. Direct PAC contributions are capped by law and reported by name.
115
current members received at least one contribution—49 Democrats and 65 Republicans. A contribution is context, not proof of influence: plenty of groups give to members who already agree with them.
None on file
in independent expenditures. This organization gives to campaigns but does not run outside ad spending of its own.

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 C00128918—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.
