List of congressional candidates who received campaign money from the National Rifle Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of United States congressional candidates who received campaign money from the National Rifle Association of America is from the nonpartisan group OpenSecrets[1][2][3][4] which extracts campaign contribution data from the Federal Election Commission.[5] It includes current as well as former representatives and senators as well as candidates for office for the 2016 and 2018[6] election cycles. This list shows only the direct contributions to each campaign but does not include more substantive contributions for lobbying and outside spending. In 2016, direct contributions (in this list) totaled $1,085,100; lobbying efforts (not in this list) totaled $3,188,000; and outside spending (not in this list) totaled $54,398,558.[5][7] The issue of gun control has become increasingly important in American politics.[8][9][10][11]

The career totals column includes all monies contributed from the NRA either directly or in an effort to elect or reelect the candidate.[12] This includes direct support payments, money spent to elect the candidate and also money used to campaign against the opposing candidate. Money, whether it be in the form of a payment (bribe) or for campaigning, effectively allows the organization to control what happens in Congress. When Congress people are beholden to corporate and other interests, democracy cannot prevail.[13] As of March 2023, the grand total of NRA monies donated to individuals in the legislature or used in efforts to elect these individuals was $27,413,008.
