AMERICA PAC

Spending above the receipt line

AMERICA PAC's disbursement total of $51,759,284.54 is $1,896,631.30 above the $49,862,653.24 receipt total — about 103.8% of receipts disbursed in these aggregates. Super PACs can report spending more than they raised in a given roll-up because of prior-period cash, loans, credits, or timing. This packet does not include those offsetting lines.

The useful reading is not "the committee is broke" or "the committee overspent." The useful reading is that outflows in the LobbyVault Form 3X aggregate sit above inflows. Confirm debts, loans, and beginning cash on the original FEC reports for C00879510 before drawing a balance-sheet conclusion.

Cite the packet facts in this order: $49,862,653.24 received, $51,759,284.54 disbursed, $49,850,796.07 individual, treasurer Chris Young, Austin, Texas, committee C00879510. Disbursements above receipts is the filing shape. A 99.98% individual share is the category shape. Loans and prior-period cash are not in this packet, so the $1,896,631.30 gap is not a solvency verdict.

AMERICA PAC as a search string collides with other committees. C00879510 does not. Independent-expenditure-only status keeps these totals off of candidate campaign ledgers. Austin as the address of record does not confine the $51,759,284.54 to Texas vendors. Super PAC independent expenditures are federal filings.

Individual contributions of $49.9 million

Individual contributions are $49,850,796.07, about 99.98% of receipts. AMERICA PAC's reported inflows are almost entirely coded as individual. The gap between $49,862,653.24 and $49,850,796.07 is $11,857.17 in other receipt categories.

Near-total individual coding plus disbursements above receipts is the distinctive pair on this packet. It still does not name donors. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts; 99.98% is a category share, not a small-dollar proof.

Form 3X is the report family behind AMERICA PAC's $49,862,653.24 receipt total and $51,759,284.54 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 103.8% spend-through on committee C00879510. Individual contributions of $49,850,796.07 are about 100.0% of receipts. Treasurer Chris Young and the Austin, TX, address of record identify the Super PAC on FEC.gov. Independent-expenditure-only status means these figures are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not cash on hand. They are not an endorsement. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees, and the PAC directory when the name collides. Stay inside those three links.
