Which political committees received the most in contributions during January?

Campaign13

Here are the 50 political committees that received the largest amount of money from contributions during January, according to the Pennsylvania Department of State.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections.
