Direct answer
A Super PAC tracker for federal races monitors FEC independent expenditure filings and 48-hour notices for your candidate — who spent, how much, and whether the buy supports or opposes your side. Pair it with official committee reports so your team can separate candidate cash from outside money.
What to monitor on the FEC
- Schedule E independent expenditures for or against watchlisted candidates
- 48-hour notices (F9/F24) close to elections
- Official candidate committee quarterly reports (separate clock)
How Pachand helps
Pachand syncs IE data hourly for watchlisted candidates and surfaces it in the Independent Expenditures panel inside Command — next to filing alerts and the cash scoreboard.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a Super PAC tracker?
- A Super PAC tracker monitors independent expenditure and outside-group spending reported to the FEC — who spent, how much, for or against which candidate, and when. Operatives use it alongside official committee reports to separate candidate fundraising from outside money.
- Where does Super PAC spending data come from?
- Super PACs and IE committees report to the Federal Election Commission on Schedule E and 48-hour notice forms (F9/F24). Pachand ingests these filings for watchlisted candidates alongside committee filing alerts.
- Does a Super PAC tracker show donor lists?
- Pachand tracks IE activity against your candidates — spend amounts, timing, and committees — not unlimited Super PAC itemized donor rolls. Donor geography on Pachand is aggregate ZIP-level only for committee Schedule A inflows.
