Pro sports owners have poured over $100 million into the midterm elections.⁠
⁠
With control of Congress on the line, the billionaires who own U.S. pro sports teams have spent tens of millions of dollars—mostly going to Republicans—attempting to influence the outcome in next week’s elections.⁠
⁠
An FOS analysis of spending by owners in federal races found that dozens of owners in the country’s biggest sports leagues combined to give at least $100 million to candidates in House and Senate races.⁠
⁠
The biggest donor, by far, was Mavericks owner Miriam Adelson, who has put at least $67 million into helping Republicans keep control of Congress. ⁠
⁠
Adelson, an Israeli-born physician who inherited her husband’s casino fortune when he died in 2021, is one of the most influential figures in American politics. She spent more than $100 million helping Donald Trump return to the White House in the 2024 election, and Trump joked last year that she offered him $250 million to run for a third term.⁠
⁠
Data includes majority owners from NFL, NBA, WNBA, NHL, MLB, NWSL, and MLS who made federal donations during the 2025-26 election cycle. Red indicates mostly or entirely Republican donations; blue indicates mostly or entirely Democratic donations.⁠
