Which federal candidates received WALGREENSPAC contributions in 2024 and how much did each receive?
Executive summary
Walgreen Co. PAC (WALGREENSPAC) reported $238,000 in contributions to federal candidates in the 2023–2024 election cycle, according to OpenSecrets’ summary of FEC data [1], but the specific per-candidate list and dollar amounts are not included in the slices of reporting provided here; the FEC maintains the committee’s filings and a candidate‑recipient ledger for WALGREENSPAC [2] that would contain the individual transaction details.
1. The headline number — how much WALGREENSPAC gave in 2024
OpenSecrets’ PAC profile for Walgreens shows $238,000 in contributions to federal candidates for the 2023–2024 cycle, a figure derived from Federal Election Commission reports [1], and the FEC lists WALGREENSPAC as an active committee with ID C00160770 where the detailed itemized contributions are filed [2].
2. The missing piece — why this report cannot list each recipient and amount here
The sources supplied to this analysis include summary pages and the FEC committee listing but do not contain the itemized recipient-by-recipient table or a captured export of the OpenSecrets “candidate recipients” page with line‑by‑line amounts in the material provided; therefore, this report cannot responsibly invent or transcribe names and dollar figures that are not present in the provided snippets and must defer to the primary records at OpenSecrets’ candidate‑recipients page and the FEC committee filing for the exact per‑candidate amounts [1] [2].
3. Context — PAC scale, donor base, and historical comparison
Walgreens’ PAC activity in recent cycles has varied: OpenSecrets shows the PAC raised larger sums in prior cycles (for example, $455,814 in 2021–2022 on its profile) and corporate PACs typically distribute funds across both parties; reporting referenced here also notes WALGREENSPAC has had hundreds of individual donors (306 large $200+ contributions to the PAC in 2023–2024 according to OpenSecrets donor data) which feed those federal payouts [3] [4], and contemporaneous coverage has contrasted Walgreens’ giving patterns with rivals such as CVS, which OpenSecrets reported had given amounts like $251,000 in a cycle cited by Crain’s [5].
4. How to obtain the per‑candidate recipient list and precise amounts
The FEC’s WALGREENSPAC committee page (committee C00160770) holds the official itemized disbursement reports that identify each recipient and the exact contribution amounts [2]; OpenSecrets aggregates and presents that information in a more user‑friendly “candidate recipients” view for 2024 [1], so consulting either the FEC data downloads for committee filings or the OpenSecrets recipient page will produce the full list of federal candidates and the dollar amounts WALGREENSPAC gave to each in 2024 [2] [1].
5. Accountability and possible agendas — what the numbers mean and who benefits from emphasizing them
Summaries that highlight a single dollar total or cherry‑pick recipients can be used to make political points about corporate influence or partisanship; credible analysis must show the itemized recipients and party breakdown (which OpenSecrets provides) and acknowledge that corporate PACs are funded by eligible employees and reported separately from corporate treasuries (the organization itself does not make direct contributions; PACs and individuals do) as OpenSecrets’ organizational profile explains [6], so readers and reporters should consult primary filings to avoid misleading narratives.
6. Bottom line
Walgreen Co. PAC’s aggregate giving to federal candidates in the 2023–2024 cycle is $238,000 per OpenSecrets’ compilation of FEC records [1]; to answer “which federal candidates and how much each received” with precision, the FEC committee filings (C00160770) or OpenSecrets’ candidate‑recipients page must be consulted for the itemized list, because those granular per‑candidate disbursements are not contained in the provided excerpts [2] [1].
