Independent expenditures are spending for or against candidates, not money handed to them. Transfers can appear on both committees’ books, so committee totals are not summed into a network total here.

The NRA Political Victory Fund is the federal political action committee of the National Rifle Association, founded in 1976. It rates federal candidates A-through-F on Second Amendment positions and funnels both direct contributions and independent expenditures to A-rated candidates, almost entirely Republicans. The fund has spent more than $200 million on federal elections since 2000, peaking in the 2016 cycle.

Questions about NRA Political Victory Fund.
What is the NRA Political Victory Fund?
The NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) is the federal PAC of the National Rifle Association, established in 1976 to grade candidates on Second Amendment positions and direct member contributions and independent expenditures accordingly. It is one of the longest-running single-issue PACs in American politics.
How does the NRA score candidates?
NRA-PVF assigns letter grades (A+ through F) to federal candidates based on their voting records and positions on firearms-related legislation, supplemented by a questionnaire for non-incumbents. Endorsements typically go to A-rated candidates only, and the grades are widely circulated by NRA members in the weeks before an election.
How much does the NRA-PVF spend in elections?
NRA political spending has declined sharply since its 2016 peak ($54M federal spending). Recent cycles have seen roughly $10–30M in federal independent expenditures and direct contributions, reflecting the NRA's well-documented financial troubles since 2019.
