What is in/out of district spending? Easy! It’s the money that comes from either inside their respective district or outside. In district spending comes from within their respective district: directly from constituents, local political parties, or local businesses, among others.

Out of district spending can come from a number of places: national party leadership, such as the Democratic/Republican National Committees (DNC, RNC), SuperPACs, lobbying groups, etc.; generally, the more competitive the seat, the more outside money will be poured into it.
