THINK BIG

A $500,000 individual line on a $10.5 million committee

THINK BIG's individual contributions of $500,000 are about 4.8% of $10,508,008.58. The other $10,008,008.58 of inflows sits in FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. That mix is the filing fact that sets THINK BIG apart from Super PACs whose individual line nearly equals receipts.

Four-point-eight percent individual is still a Super PAC category mix, not a donor list and not a claim that the committee is small. Receipts are $10,508,008.58. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts and other lawful receipt types. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00923417.

Think and big are common search words. Committee ID C00923417 is the match key in the PAC directory. This packet does not merge C00923417 with any similarly named nonprofit or slogan PAC.

Disbursements of $7.2 million, about 68.6% of receipts

Total disbursements are $7,205,188.17. That is about 68.6% of receipts. THINK BIG has reported spending a clear majority of reported inflows while leaving a gap the packet does not label as cash on hand. Timing, loans, and refunds can all move those lines.

Big in the committee name does not prove the $7,205,188.17 was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until you open the schedules.
