Two Idaho political action committees, or PACS, on both sides of the proposed abortion rights initiative, Proposition 1, have spent $1.3 million combined, and raised nearly $7.5 million total. The ballot measure’s supporters have outpaced its opponents in both fundraising and spending so far.
So far, the main PAC supporting the measure has out-raised the primary PAC that’s opposing the ballot measure — the measure’s supporters’ Idahoans United for Women and Families PAC had collected around $4.9 million as of Sept. 29 from more than 3,000 donors, while the measure’s opponents, Too Extreme for Idaho PAC, brought in about $2.5 million from 8 donors3, according to the Idaho Secretary of State campaign finance database.
