A PAC can give a candidate up to $10,000 per election cycle — $5,000 for the primary and $5,000 for the general — so totals spanning two cycles run to about $20,000 at the top end. Occasional larger figures usually mean a special election or a runoff, which counts as another election. Giving through ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT DISTRIBUTORS POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE.

Read this carefully: it counts only bills where the organization itself stated a position, in its own lobbying filing or a public statement, and where the member cast a recorded vote. VoteWire never guesses what a donor wanted. And alignment is not influence — PACs overwhelmingly give to members who already vote their way, so a high number more often reflects who chose whom than who bought whom. The full method.
