CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE — $10.4 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Receipts of $10.4 million on Form 3X

CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE's receipt aggregate is $10,426,672.44. LobbyVault pulls that number from FEC committee totals for C00749671, not from Colorado state campaign-finance agencies. Form 3X is the report family federal PACs and Super PACs use. Receipts on that form are money the committee reported receiving.

Free enterprise in the committee name is a title phrase. It is not a NAICS code, not a Chamber score, and not a list of businesses. This page does not estimate ad impressions and does not map the money to a specific office. The committee page for C00749671 is the overlay target if you need the live table next to this prose.

Citizens is a crowded search word. Committee ID C00749671 is the match key in the PAC directory. Independent-expenditure-only status means these figures are Super PAC Form 3X, not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

Nearly $10.0 million reported spent

Total disbursements are $9,996,914.48. That is about 95.9% of the $10,426,672.44 in receipts. CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE has therefore reported spending almost all of what it reported raising in these aggregates. The packet does not label the remainder as cash on hand.

Disbursements on a Super PAC can include independent expenditures plus operating costs. This summary does not split them. If you need the independent-expenditure schedule, go to the FEC reports for C00749671.

Individual money: $8.67 million

Individual contributions total $8,669,250, about 83.1% of receipts. CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE's reported inflows are therefore mostly tagged as individual under FEC rules. The remaining $1,757,422.44 sits in other receipt categories this packet does not enumerate.

The individual-contribution aggregate does not list donors. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. Super PAC rules allow large individual contributions that candidate committees cannot accept. That is a filing-category fact, not a judgment about any named person.

Littleton address and treasurer of record

CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE is registered with a Littleton, Colorado, city and state of record. The treasurer is Mark Simmons. Committee ID C00749671 is the stable key. Colorado as the address of record is not a statement that the committee's spending is limited to Colorado races.

Treasurer names appear because FEC statements of organization require one. Citing Mark Simmons identifies the filing, not a biography.

What this Super PAC page is not

This guide is not an endorsement, not a donor ranking, and not a prediction. It restates three FEC aggregates — $10,426,672.44 received, $9,996,914.48 disbursed, $8,669,250 in individual contributions — plus the Super PAC flag, city, and treasurer. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Reading a high spend-through Super PAC in Colorado

About 95.9% spend-through is a near-empty-the-register pattern. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside the $9,996,914.48. Individual contributions of $8,669,250 leave $1,757,422.44 of receipts in other FEC categories. That leftover is unnamed here.

Do not fold $10,426,672.44 into a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. Use the CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory. The three dollar totals plus treasurer, city, and C00749671 are the citeable facts.

Form 3X is the report family behind CITIZENS FOR FREE ENTERPRISE's $10,426,672.44 receipt total and $9,996,914.48 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 95.9% spend-through on committee C00749671. Individual contributions of $8,669,250 are about 83.1% of receipts, leaving $1,757,422.44 in unnamed FEC categories. Treasurer Mark Simmons and the Littleton, Colorado, 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.

Citizens and free enterprise are crowded title words. The C-number is the match key. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees with high spend-through, and the PAC directory when citizens titles overlap. Stay inside those three links. Do not fold $10,426,672.44 into a Chamber budget or a candidate ledger.

A 95.9% spend-through ratio on $10,426,672.44 is a near-empty-the-register pattern. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside $9,996,914.48. Citing $8,669,250 individual next to the receipt total is the category fact. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee.
