**The Political Action Committee (PAC) total excludes amounts for Independent Expenditure-Only Political Committees and Political Committees with NonContribution Accounts because these committee types are represented in this table as separate line items.

*This table displays the sums of itemized independent expenditure disbursements as disclosed by committees and filers in independent expenditure reports. 

Some of the independent expenditures will not reach the $200 threshold for itemization and as a result, the total of independent expenditures displayed in this 

table will be less than the total in Table 1, which sums independent expendiures by overall summary amounts.
