The Credit Union Legislative Action Council had its biggest campaign cycle yet, checking in with $4.43 million in receipts for the 2013-14 cycle. That puts the PAC 13 percent ahead of its total for the 2011-12 cycle, when it reported $3.9 million in receipts. Its spending went toward direct-mail, TV, radio and online advertising for candidates in both parties. CULAC has a 96 percent success rate, with spending in 396 races.
