Named in our reporting

Not Personally Profiting

Posts on this site that name Caterpillar. Being written about and giving money are separate facts; this page does not connect them.

How to read this. Every figure comes from a Federal Election Commission filing and links to its source. Figures are as reported; amendments change them.

A PAC is not its sponsor's chequebook. Federal law bars corporations and unions from giving to candidates directly. A corporate or union PAC is funded by voluntary contributions from employees or members, so "Acme PAC gave $10,000" does not mean Acme gave $10,000.

A payment to a vendor is a purchase. Campaigns buy advertising, consulting, payroll, printing and travel. A company appearing here was paid for work; that is not a donation and not a favour.

We do not say who owns these companies. FEC filings carry a payee's name and city and nothing else — no officers, no parent company, no beneficial owner. Naming an owner would need state corporate records, so these pages show the money and name the company, and stop there.

Corrections. Every row links to its filing. If something is wrong, tell us.
