LIFT LEADING ILLINOIS FOR TOMORROW

Matched lines: $10,436,750 in and $10,436,750 out

LIFT LEADING ILLINOIS FOR TOMORROW's receipt aggregate and disbursement aggregate are identical at $10,436,750. That is 100% spend-through on the two Form 3X totals this packet carries. LobbyVault pulls those numbers from FEC committee totals for C00625525, not from Illinois state campaign-finance agencies.

A matched pair is a filing pattern, not proof the committee has zero cash. Timing, refunds, and how the FEC rolls cycles into an aggregate can produce equal headline lines. The packet does not label cash on hand. It also does not split the $10,436,750 in disbursements into ads versus overhead.

Leading Illinois and tomorrow are title words. They are not a forecast and not a list of Illinois offices. Form 3X is the report family federal Super PACs use. Receipts on that form are money the committee reported receiving.

Individual money: $5.47 million, about 52.4%

Individual contributions total $5,469,250, about 52.4% of the $10,436,750 in receipts. Slightly more than half of reported inflows are tagged as individual under FEC rules. The other $4,967,500 sits in receipt categories this packet does not name.

A 52.4% individual share is a mixed line, not a donor roster. Super PACs may take unlimited contributions from individuals; that is a filing-category fact, not a judgment about any named person. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov and on the committee page.
