NFL owners donate millions to Republican candidates for midterm elections

NFL owners contributed over $18 million to candidates and committees in the 2026 midterm elections, predominantly to Republican causes., Vinod Khosla and Arthur Blank made significant donations to Democratic candidates, diverging from the trend among most NFL owners. Blank also supported Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-identified democratic socialist. The donations reflect the longstanding dominance of conservative billionaires in the NFL, with substantial contributions from figures like the Walton-Penner family and Jerry Jones. Federal Election Commission records detail the spending, emphasizing the electoral influence of NFL owners.
