Senate Leadership Fund

What Senate Leadership Fund does

Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) is a Federal Election Commission-registered Super PAC founded in 2015 and aligned with Senate Majority Leader John Thune. Its functional purpose is to raise and deploy large-scale independent expenditures in support of Republican Senate candidates and incumbents, defending the GOP Senate majority and contesting Democrat-held seats. Operationally, SLF processes political donations through the WinRed digital fundraising platform and coordinates with affiliated 501(c)(4) One Nation, which extends its permissible fundraising and issue-advocacy reach. The organization is headquartered in Washington, D.C. with additional presence in Warrenton, Virginia, and operates with a lean staff of 11-50 employees.

The organization's commercial model is political fundraising rather than product or service revenue: it solicits unlimited contributions from individual donors, PACs, and party-aligned networks, then deploys those funds as independent expenditures on advertising, polling, and campaign infrastructure in targeted Senate races. As of June 2026, SLF reported $238M in cash on hand and a combined $140M raised in Q2 2026 with One Nation, the largest quarterly haul in its history. Its 2026 cycle target map covers the defense of 22 Republican-held seats and offense against 13 Democrat-held seats, with significant spend planned in New Hampshire. Product surface is centered on paid media, polling, and donor communications, and the organization has recently expanded into new digital content series such as 'Majority Minutes' and 'Felon Friday' to broaden donor engagement.

Coordination with allied political organizations is a core part of SLF's operating model. It works closely with One Nation on fundraising and integrated advocacy, and has engaged in cross-organizational coordination with Koch-backed Americans for Prosperity Action in the New Hampshire Senate race. Leadership includes Executive Director Alex Latcham and Communications Director Chris Gustafson, with the operation tied to the broader Republican Senate leadership ecosystem around Majority Leader Thune.
