Christina Bertrand Hines

Money: the pledge on corporate PACs

Matches stated record claim

What they say

She says she will never take money from corporate PACs.

“I will never take money from corporate PACs.”

What the record shows ·

Her campaign's filings through July 15, 2026 show 25 committees giving it 75,762.78 dollars. The FEC types none of them as a corporation's PAC. The largest groups are hybrid PACs such as Vote Mama and The Next 50, qualified PACs such as EMILY's List and End Citizens United, two union PACs (10,000 dollars), leadership PACs and other House campaigns. Her 48-hour notices through July 30 add three more PAC gifts, none from a corporation's PAC.

Limit: This covers money given to her campaign: her reports through July 15, and her notices of large gifts through July 30. Party spending made for her is not counted; party committees can take corporate PAC money. Some PACs that gave to her, such as leadership PACs, may take corporate money themselves. The type of each PAC is what it reports to the FEC.

  2. CHRISTINA FOR CONGRESS, receipts from political committeeshttps://www.fec.gov/data/receipts/?committee_id=C00901678&two_year_transaction_period=2026&line_number=F3-11C

    Federal Election Commission · Reviewed Oct 1, 2026

    Read with tools/fec-money/money.py on October 1, 2026: lines 11B (none), 11C (43 rows, 2 of them memo rows for ActBlue that are not counted) and 12 (none), through July 15, 2026. Line 11C reconciles to the filed total of $75,762.78. No contributor is typed by the FEC as a corporation's PAC; each of the 25 committees' FEC pages was read. The $500 receipt from Fems for Dems PAC (C00717553) carried no committee type, so money.py filed it as untyped; the FEC's committee record types it PAC - Nonqualified, and the table uses that.
