“We shattered every fundraising and spending record this cycle thanks to the incredible generosity of our donors and the steadfast support of Speaker Johnson and House Republican Leadership,” said CLF President Chris Winkelman. “We knew this cycle could be a slugfest of outside spending, so we spent two years building for it. That groundwork gave us the agility to direct our resources where they mattered most, right down to the final hours in every race.”
