Campaign finance laws regulate the manner and extent to which political parties and candidates receive monetary contributions from individuals and corporations. These contributions fund both party operations and election campaigns.
Unlike traditional PACs, super PACs are prohibited from donating money directly to political candidates, and their spending must not be coordinated with that of the candidates they benefit. Super PACs are required to report their donors to the Federal Election Commission on a monthly or semiannual basis â the super PAC's choice â in off-years, and monthly in the year of an election. As of February 18, 2018, 1,799 groups organized as super PACs have reported total receipts of $249,506,479 and total independent expenditures of $37,073,022 in the 2018 cycle.
