Why It Matters

No Going Back PAC Inc. has spent more than $154 million this cycle on candidates, including more than $20 million opposing Sherrod Brown and more than $7.6 million supporting Jon Husted. The group's website describes it as making independent expenditures in U.S. federal elections, but does not spell out a broader mission or policy agenda. OpenSecrets described the PAC as "President Donald Trump-linked and MAGA Inc.-funded," and the New York Times reported, citing two people, that it was financially backed by MAGA Inc. ​
