Following the money
This is the money-movement view of Massachusetts campaign finance from the state Office of Campaign and Political Finance (OCPF), filtered to the giving that touches Boston. It is mostly statewide money (governor, attorney general, U.S. Senate), with only a small Boston-area slice inside it. We lead with where the money is going and the organized money behind it. Everything here is lawful giving drawn from public filings, with a source link on every figure. We make no accusations.
These totals describe lawful contributions inside one filing window, not a full election cycle. We separate recipients (candidates and committees that received money) from the PACs and committees that gave it. Reaching the top of a list means a campaign raised or an organization gave a lot in this window. It says nothing about influence, access, or intent.
Top recipients in this window
Candidates and committees that received the most across the filings tracked here. Mostly statewide races, with the office and jurisdiction shown where the filing records it.
PAC and committee giving
Political action committees and other registered committees that gave in this window. These are organizations, not individuals, kept separate so the organized money is easy to see.
Donor Watch maps the largest recent checks, the most active individual donors, and the small Boston-address slice, every figure linked to its OCPF report.
