Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has donated roughly $1.56 million during the current midterm election cycle, primarily supporting Republican candidates and political action committees, according to Federal Election Commission data reviewed by Front Office Sports. His contributions include $1 million directed to Donald Trump's MAGA Inc. and around $500,000 distributed across Texas races, notably including $250,000 to back Ken Paxton.

The political expenditures coincide with a difficult 3-4 start for the Cowboys, who recently halted a losing skid by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 38-21.
