CLF & AAN Raise Over $60 Million in First Half of 2025
WASHINGTON – Congressional Leadership Fund (CLF), the super PAC endorsed by Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republican Leadership, and its sister issue advocacy organization, American Action Network (AAN) today announced raising an unprecedented combined $60 million in the first six months of 2025, shattering previous records and signaling massive conservative momentum.
CLF raised a staggering $32.7 million with $32.7 million cash on hand, while AAN brought in $28 million.
“This $60 million milestone shows our conservative coalition is energized by House Republicans’ success and ready to fight so we can keep winning in 2026,” said CLF President Chris Winkelman. “Americans see the chaos and extremism coming from today’s Democrat Party, and they’re responding with their wallets. With President Trump in the White House, Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republican leadership driving a conservative agenda in the House, and a wave of momentum behind us, we’re stockpiling the resources to protect and expand our House majority. This is just the beginning.”
Key Highlights:
- CLF and AAN’s $60 million trounces Democrats’ “best haul to start a nonelection year,” by a $20 million margin.
- The combined $60 million raised in the first half of 2025 is $25 million more than CLF and AAN raised in the first six months of 2023.
- This is Chris Winkelman’s first year helming Congressional Leadership Fund and American Action Network.
