FEC itemized data list direct committee contributions of $402,820 across 212 transactions for Mark Pocan in 2025-2026, including AMERICAN CRYSTAL SUGAR COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE, two itemized transactions, latest Feb. 17, 2026, total $10,000.
Assessments
The promise was to reject corporate PAC donations for Pocan's re-election campaign. The record shows he made the pledge, but later FEC-linked itemized contribution data for the 2025-2026 re-election cycle lists direct contributions from at least one company PAC, with no evidence of a refund or reversal. That contradicts the promised outcome rather than showing delivery. The pledge itself is not a serious legislative or executive attempt, so no effort badge applies.
