What they say

Her agenda pledges never to take corporate PAC money, as a candidate or as a member of Congress.

“I pledge never to take a dime from corporate PACs, as a candidate for Congress or as a member of Congress.”

What the record shows ·

Her committee's filings through July 15, 2026 list $341,794.70 from other political committees on line 11C. None of those committees is one the FEC records as connected to a corporation. The money came from members' leadership PACs, other candidates' campaigns, labor unions' PACs, membership groups' PACs and unconnected PACs.

Limit: This covers filings through July 15, 2026, and relies on the FEC's label for each committee. Leadership PACs and joint fundraising committees that gave to her can take corporate PAC money themselves. The pledge is about her run for Congress: her 2025 state campaign for attorney general reported $800,000 from Dominion Energy's Virginia PAC.
