List of congressional candidates who received campaign money from the National Rifle Association
This list of congressional candidates who received campaign money from the National Rifle Association is from the nonpartisan group Center for Responsive Politics which extracts campaign contribution data from the Federal Election Commission. It includes current as well as former representatives and senators as well as candidates for office for the 2016 and 2018 election cycles. This list shows only the direct contributions to each campaign but does not include more substantive contributions for lobbying and outside spending. In 2016, direct contributions totaled $1,085,100; lobbying efforts totaled $3,188,000; and outside spending totaled $54,398,558. The issue of gun control has become increasingly important in American politics.
