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.

Questions about Working Families Party PAC.

What is the Working Families Party?

The Working Families Party is a progressive political party founded in 1998 that operates primarily on the ballot lines of fusion-voting states like New York and Connecticut, where it can cross-endorse Democratic candidates and provide a separate vote tally.
