It’s been a rough few weeks for Harrison Butker, as his job with the Kansas City Chiefs is in jeopardy after one of the worst stretches of his career. And it turns out that things aren’t going much better for the kicker off the field.
According to a new report, Butker’s political action committee appears to be all but abandoned. The PAC, which was formed to promote conservative Christian values, has never donated to a political campaign, and its website now redirects to a Thai gambling site.
Butker’s Struggles
Butker has missed seven field goals this season, the most in the NFL, and he missed another kick in Sunday’s 35-12 win over the New York Jets. He was booed by the home crowd at Arrowhead Stadium afterward.
The Chiefs also signed Justin Tucker to their practice squad two weeks ago, and head coach Andy Reid wouldn’t commit to Butker on Monday. ”
With Butker, I haven’t made any decisions yet,” Reid said, via KMBC.
Butker has also become one of the NFL’s most politically outspoken players. He drew national backlash for his 2024 commencement speech at Benedictine College, and he has since met with Donald Trump at the White House.
Upright PAC
Butker launched Upright PAC just weeks before the 2024 election while campaigning with Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley. But according to the Kansas City Star’s Jack Harvel, it hasn’t donated any money to political campaigns since it was formed.
The PAC raised $37,921 in its first few months, but about 91% of what it spent during the 2024 cycle went to fundraising fees for a Republican consulting firm. Since the start of 2025, it has raised just $6,777.25 and spent $11,220.85, including $3,891 on travel, with the rest of the money going to consulting, fundraising fees, and credit card debt. It reported just $741.47 cash on hand as of Sept. 30.
The PAC’s website, UprightPac.org, now redirects to a Thai gambling website, as David Hudnall pointed out. Butker’s personal website is also inactive.
A spokesperson for Open Secrets, which tracks campaign finance data, told the Star that the PAC “has not raised enough money to be a functioning PAC.”
Butker’s critics didn’t miss the opportunity to pile on. Tristin Amezcua-Hogan, communications director for the Missouri Democratic Party, said that it “shouldn’t come as a shock that this PAC is missing the mark, much like Butker can’t stop doing on the field.” The Missouri Abortion Fund has also asked supporters to donate $7 for every missed field goal, a play on Butker’s jersey number.
Needless to say, it’s been a rough few weeks for Butker.
