THE SENTINEL ACTION FUND

Raised $9.05 million, spent about 38%

THE SENTINEL ACTION FUND's receipt aggregate is $9,051,931.84. Disbursements of $3,446,966.15 are about 38.1% of that pile. The committee has reported spending well under half of reported inflows in these aggregates. The packet does not label the remainder as cash on hand. Timing, loans, and refunds can all move those lines.

Action in the committee name does not prove the $3,446,966.15 was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until you open the schedules. Sentinel is a crowded search word. Committee ID C00811166 is the match key in the PAC directory.

LobbyVault pulls these totals from FEC committee aggregates for C00811166, not from advertising invoices. Form 3X is the report family federal Super PACs use.

Individual money: $8.87 million, about 98.0%

Individual contributions total $8,871,163.32, about 98.0% of receipts. THE SENTINEL ACTION FUND's reported inflows are therefore almost entirely tagged as individual under FEC rules. The leftover $180,768.52 sits in other receipt categories this packet does not enumerate.

A 98.0% individual share is a near-clone of the receipt line, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual contributions that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov.
