ALABAMA PATRIOTS PAC — $4.85 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Matched $4,845,168.46 in and out

Receipts and disbursements both print as $4,845,168.46. That 100% spend-through is a Form 3X pairing on committee C00795948. Equal lines are not a bank statement and not proof of zero cash. The packet does not report cash on hand.

Patriots in the committee name is a filing title. It is not a membership count and not a score of patriotism. Independent-expenditure-only status means these figures are Super PAC Form 3X totals, not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

Only $400,000 coded as individual contributions

Individual contributions are $400,000.00 of $4,845,168.46, about 8.3%. The remaining $4,445,168.46 of inflows sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. ALABAMA PATRIOTS PAC is therefore not an individual-clone Super PAC on these aggregates.

Eight percent individual is a category mix, not a donor roster. Super PACs may receive other lawful receipt types. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00795948. LobbyVault does not invent the unnamed lines.

Birmingham address versus the Alabama in the title

City and state of record are Birmingham, Alabama. Treasurer of record is Zac Funderburk. Committee ID is C00795948. Alabama in the name and Alabama in the address of record happen to match here; that still does not prove independent expenditures were limited to Alabama races.

Super PAC Form 3X activity can be reported in any federal contest the committee files. Zac Funderburk identifies the statement of organization. Alabama Patriots collides with other Alabama PAC titles in the PAC directory; the C-number does not.

What the overlay will not tell you

These totals are not a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. They are not a count of Alabama voters. They are $4,845,168.46 received, $4,845,168.46 disbursed, and $400,000.00 individual on a type-O committee. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Disbursements of $4,845,168.46 are not split into ads versus overhead in this packet. Open FEC schedules if you need independent-expenditure detail.

Reading an 8.3% individual Super PAC on Form 3X

ALABAMA PATRIOTS PAC shows $400,000.00 individual against $4,845,168.46 in receipts. That 8.3% share is the filing fact that should change how a reader files C00795948 next to Super PACs whose individual line clones receipts. The remaining $4,445,168.46 is other FEC receipt types this packet does not name. LobbyVault does not invent those lines and does not treat the mix as a motive.

Matched receipts and disbursements at $4,845,168.46 look like 100% spend-through. Form 3X pairings are not cash-on-hand statements. Zac Funderburk as treasurer and Birmingham, Alabama, as the city of record identify the Super PAC on FEC.gov. Patriots in the title is a name word. It is not a membership roll. Independent-expenditure-only status keeps $4,845,168.46 off of candidate Form 3 ledgers.

Alabama in the name and Alabama in the address happen to match. Independent expenditures can still be reported outside Alabama. Open FEC Schedule E for C00795948 if you need the race-by-race independent-expenditure breakout. This overlay restates packet totals only. Use the ALABAMA PATRIOTS PAC committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other low-individual type-O committees, and the PAC directory when Alabama Patriots collides. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

If you cite ALABAMA PATRIOTS PAC, lead with the thin individual line: $400,000.00 of $4,845,168.46, committee C00795948, matched disbursements of $4,845,168.46. Zac Funderburk and Birmingham, Alabama, complete the identity block. Patriots in the title stays a filing word. The unnamed $4,445,168.46 of receipts stays unnamed here. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type, not a candidate Form 3. FEC.gov holds the schedules LobbyVault does not reprint in this overlay. Birmingham as the address of record still does not turn $4,845,168.46 into an Alabama-only spending map; type-O independent expenditures can be reported in any federal contest C00795948 files.
