Matched receipts and disbursements at $4,120,014
Committee C00573634 shows $4,120,014.00 received and $4,120,014.00 disbursed. That 100% spend-through is a Form 3X pairing on LobbyVault's aggregates. Equal lines can appear when cycles are rolled together or when the committee reported emptying the register. The packet does not include a cash-on-hand field.
Form 3X is the report family federal PACs and Super PACs use. Receipts are money the committee reported receiving. Disbursements are money it reported spending. Opportunity in the name does not prove the $4.12 million was independent expenditures. Operating costs sit in the same disbursement total until schedules are opened on FEC.gov.
Independent-expenditure-only status keeps these dollars on the Super PAC side of the FEC type table. Do not fold $4,120,014.00 into a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. Do not merge C00573634 with a similarly numbered Opportunity and Freedom committee unless the FEC ID matches.
Individual contributions of $2,976,686
Individual contributions of $2,976,686.00 are about 72.2% of $4,120,014.00. The remaining $1,143,328.00 of inflows sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. Seventy-two percent individual is a mixed Super PAC receipt line, not a 99% clone.
A $2.98 million individual total is a category aggregate, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that authorized candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, live on FEC.gov for C00573634.
