Plan for Progress

In Minnesota politics, non-candidate political action committees (PACs) have received $29.2 million in total donations between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. The top 10 PACs raised more than $17.6 million, or 60 percent of all donations made to state-level PACs.

The stakes were particularly high for the 2020 elections, and not just for the presidency. At the state-level, some of the most closely watched races were Democratic efforts to flip swing state legislatures blue and take control of the upcoming redistricting process.
