Campaign spending: Top 4th quarter political donation recipients in Virginia in 2020

Campaigncheck24

These are the political organizations that received the most money from campaign donations in Virginia from October 1 to December 31, 2020, according to the Federal Election Commission.

Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections according to Virginia's Department of Elections. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. The Government Accountability Office reviews current campaign finance law and makes recommendations for how to keep the laws relevant.
