“doesn't accept contributions from corporate PACs”

What the record shows ·

From January 2025 to July 1, 2026 his campaign took 202,549.81 dollars from political committees. None came from a committee the FEC classes as a corporation's PAC. The largest groups were joint fundraising transfers, medical society and other trade or membership PACs, and unaffiliated PACs.

Limit: This uses the FEC's own label for each donor committee. Trade-association PACs, $31,500 this cycle, are funded by people tied to member companies. In his 2024 race the FEC labelled $7,000 from three donors as corporation PACs: a surgeons' society, the NEA teachers' union fund and Feminist Majority PAC. His largest PAC gifts include $10,000 from USACS PAC, which shares its name with an emergency-medicine company; the FEC lists no company connected to it.
