Contributions to House Candidates by House Leaderships' PACs in 2004 Elections

House Republican leaders' PACs often contribute to the same House candidates. In 27 instances, all eight Republican leaders with leadership PACs contributed to the same candidate, in 21 cases seven of those leadership PACs contributed to the same candidate and in 18 cases six leadership PACs contributed to the same candidate.. While not unexpected, those efforts suggest another level of influence of the House leadership on Republican Members' positions.

Representative Tom Cole (R-OK), a member of the House ethics committee, received contributions totaling $39,499 from seven of the eight leadership PACs. The leadership PACs contributed a total of $4,275,745 to Republican House candidates during the 2003-2004 election cycle. The highest level of total contributions from this group were to Charles Boustany, Jr. (R-LA) ($92,500), Larry Diedrich (R-SD) ($89,831) and Rick Renzi (R-AZ) ($75,000). A negative figure indicates return of a contribution. For example, Representative Mark Kirk (R-IL) returned $20,000 to Representative Tom DeLay's PAC, apparently based on prior election cycle contributions. The table may be sorted for total contributions and for each leader's PAC. Diedrich failed in his effort against Representative Stephanie Herseth (D-SD), who first took office after a 2004 special election.

House Republican leaders with leadership PACs are Rep. Dennis Hastert, Speaker, Rep. Tom DeLay, Majority Leader, Rep. Roy Blunt, Majority Whip, Rep. Eric Cantor, Chief Deputy Majority Whip, Rep. Deborah Pryce, Conference Chair, Rep. John Doolittle, Conference Secretary and Rep. Tom Reynolds, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman.
