A leading conservative organization, the Club for Growth, is gearing up for the 2026 election cycle with plans to increase its political investments. The organization, known for its fiscally conservative agenda and focus on tax cuts and economic issues, aims to align with President Donald Trump and his political team.
The Club for Growth Action super PAC, the political arm of the organization, raised $163 million in the 2024 election cycle and boasts a 73% success rate in races where it made political investments. Looking ahead to 2026, the group intends to strengthen Republican majorities in the House and Senate.
Club for Growth President David McIntosh emphasized the importance of donor support in funding their political activities. He highlighted the significance of President Trump's endorsement in candidate selection, emphasizing their shared commitment to free-market principles and limited government conservatism.
Despite a history of ups and downs in their relationship with Trump, the Club for Growth has recently reconciled with the former president. They plan to collaborate closely with Trump's policy team to advance key initiatives, including the permanent codification of Trump's tax cuts and federal school freedom legislation.
The Club for Growth Action is gearing up for an eight-figure federal advocacy campaign to support pro-growth, free-market policies. Their efforts will focus on promoting Trump administration initiatives and advocating for school choice legislation at the federal level.
In addition to their political activities, the Club for Growth is hosting its annual donor retreat in Palm Beach, Florida, where prominent conservative figures and politicians will engage with top-dollar contributors. The event will feature speeches from notable Republicans, including Senators Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marsha Blackburn, as well as Governor Ron DeSantis and other key conservative leaders.
Overall, the Club for Growth is poised to play a significant role in shaping conservative politics in the upcoming election cycle, leveraging its resources and alliances to advance its agenda and support candidates aligned with its principles.
