Independent-expenditure research

Spending by committees independent of a candidate, reported to the FEC as supporting or opposing that candidate. An independent expenditure is not a contribution to the candidate and does not imply coordination, control, or any legislative outcome. Support/oppose is the spender's reported classification.

Independent expenditures are reported by the spender and shown as reported. This is a local corpus of IEs for federally linked candidates — see data notes. It implies nothing about coordination, contributions, or any vote.
