June 2016 Primary Election

Below are lists of the top 10 contributors to committees that have raised at least $1,000,000 and are primarily formed to support or oppose a candidate for state office in the June 2016 primary election. These committees are referred to as independent expenditure committees. The reports do not show the total contributions or expenditures for each independent expenditure committee formed to support or oppose a state candidate, because only information from committees that have raised $1,000,000 or more is included. The reports also do not include any committee that is controlled by a state candidate for his or her own election.
