Left-leaning groups spent more dark money on the 2018 midterm elections than right-leaning groups, according to an Issue One report released Jan. 23. The spending pattern is a shift from previous years when right-leaning groups spent significantly more.
Dark money groups, which are politically active nonprofits, spent some $150 million during the 2018 election cycle. Left-leaning groups accounted for about 54 percent of that, according to the nonprofit, which advocates for, among other things, reducing “the influence of big money on politics.”
