Political leanings: Democratic

2018 total spending: $14.2 million

VoteVets.org is a political group that supports veterans and promotes liberal causes. Its mission is “to elect Veterans to public office,” and its agenda includes “working with progressive allies representing labor, immigration, gay and lesbian rights, and environmentalists, when their issues coincide with the needs of troops and veterans.”

It operates two political committees: the VoteVets PAC and the VoteVets Action Fund.

The VoteVets PAC is a Carey committee, a hybrid organization that functions as a PAC and a super PAC. Like a traditional PAC, the committee can give money directly to a campaign. However, like a super PAC, it can also raise and spend unlimited amounts of money for independent expenditures, which are funds spent on advertisements or other communications in order to elect or defeat specific candidates.

The VoteVets Action Fund is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, a “social welfare organization” that must spend less than 50% of its funds for political purposes. It does not disclose its donors, but it must report its independent expenditures to the Federal Election Commission.
