US Midterms 2026Background
House Majority PAC is the main Democratic Super PAC for House races, aligned with the party's House leadership. It registered with the Federal Election Commission on 8 April 2011 and operates as a hybrid PAC, with a separate account for contributions to candidates. Its Republican counterpart is the Congressional Leadership Fund.
Like other super PACs it can raise unlimited money from individuals, companies and unions, but must spend it independently of candidates and parties. That independence shapes where it spends: it buys adverts in The House races the party judges winnable, while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee handles party money.
In 2026 it entered the autumn behind Republican outside money in both cash and spending.
Democrats' House super PAC trails Republican money
House Majority PAC has spent the cycle behind its Republican rivals. In May it and Senate Majority PAC together held $139m, against $257m for the Congressional Leadership Fund and Senate Leadership Fund.
The gap held into the final stretch. Between 24 and 30 September House Majority PAC filed $14.34m of House spending, but Republican-side committees accounted for $164m of the $259m in large outside filings that week. Senate races took the nine biggest slots, and the first House contest on the list, North Carolina's 1st District, ranked only tenth. That leaves the PAC fighting for House seats in a market dominated by Senate money.
Party committees gained a cheaper channel
A Super PAC like House Majority PAC can raise unlimited sums but cannot coordinate with candidates, which costs it access to the cheapest advertising rates. In June Democratic committees filed a Supreme Court brief defending the caps on party-coordinated spending, warning that striking them would let Republican committees deploy unlimited coordinated money.
the Court struck the caps on 30 June. Party committees can now coordinate fully with candidates, which shifts weight from super PACs towards the parties themselves. For House Majority PAC, that means its role as Democrats' main outside vehicle for The House now runs alongside a party apparatus with new reach.
