*So far

†These numbers show how the industry ranks in total campaign giving as compared to more than 80 other industries. Rankings are shown only for industries (such as the Automotive industry) -- not for widely encompassing "sectors" (such as Transportation) or more detailed "categories" (like car dealers).

METHODOLOGY: The numbers on this page are based on contributions of $200 or more from PACs and individuals to federal candidates and from individual and soft money donors to political parties, as reported to the Federal Election Commission. While election cycles are shown in charts as 1996, 1998, 2000 etc. they actually represent two-year periods. For example, the 2002 election cycle runs from January 1, 2001 to December 31, 2002.  Data for the current election cycle were released by the Federal Election Commission on Monday, June 03, 2002.

Feel free to distribute or cite this material, but please credit the Center for Responsive Politics.
 

NOTE Soft money contributions were not publicly disclosed until the 1991-92 election cycle.
