Sierra Club Independent Action

What follows is what the filings show: who received this organization's money, and how much.

$168,000

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

121

current members received at least one contribution—119 Democrats and 0 Republicans. A contribution is context, not proof of influence: plenty of groups give to members who already agree with them.

$45,000

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

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.

$44,000

Ads urging a vote for a candidate.

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 C00135368 and C00483693—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.
