Fund is a name word. These totals are not securities filings. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC. Matching treasurer and city strings with other committees is not a merge instruction. C00911610 stands alone. Keep $22,389,725.38 labeled as Form 3X. Freedom is branding, not a LobbyVault finding.

Stay inside those three links.
