Who Pays Him


The Money

$4,025,858
from political committees.

Carbajal has taken it across six election cycles, reported to the Federal Election Commission. Over the same period Bob Smith has accepted none of it.

Carbajal went from 20 percent committee money to 35.

Each bar is the share of Carbajal’s receipts that came from political committees rather than from people. The dollar figure is the amount.

Taken by Bob Smith, this cycle.

Bob has raised $203,264 this cycle, $169,882 of it from individuals, and nothing from a political committee.

This is not an accusation of corruption.

PAC money is legal, it is disclosed, and most members of Congress take it. Saying otherwise would be false and this page does not say it.

Carbajal broke no rule by taking it. The question is narrower than that.

“It is a question about who you answer to when the two sides disagree.”
