In Arizona, Invest in Arizona (sponsored by AEA and Stand for Children) has raised more than any other non-candidate political action committee (PAC) in the 2022 election cycle so far. According to the most recent campaign finance reports filed with the Arizona Secretary of State, Invest in Arizona raised $5.16 million and spent $5.23 million between Jan. 1, 2021 and Dec. 1, 2021. 

Arizona politics became a battleground of national interest during the contentious tabulation of 2020 election results. While it’s state-level races may not have pulled in quite the volume of outside money that other highly-publicized battlegrounds drew, Arizona elections still managed to attract some major nationwide donors.
