Fairshake spent over $10.1 million against Rep. Katie Porter in California, while Protect Progress supported newcomer Shomari Figures and Texas state Representative Julie Johnson. Defend American Jobs, a Republican super PAC, donated to candidates in North Carolina, Indiana, and West Virginia for upcoming primaries.
