This directory profiles 25 of the most consequential super PACs in recent American elections. The selection is designed to be balanced and informative: it includes the largest spenders on both sides, the major party-leadership super PACs, the foundational super PACs of the post-Citizens United era, several issue- or industry-focused groups that have shaped recent election cycles, and a handful of organizations whose stories illuminate how super PACs work — and sometimes fail.
Each profile covers what the super PAC is, who founded and runs it, what it stands for, where its money comes from, what it spends on, and what makes it consequential. Spending figures are for the 2023–2024 cycle and are drawn from FEC filings as reported by OpenSecrets.
