EDF ACTION VOTES — $3.37 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Only $559,980.64 disbursed of $3.37 million raised

Total disbursements of $559,980.64 are about 16.6% of $3,366,956.68 in receipts. EDF ACTION VOTES has reported spending a small share of reported inflows in these aggregates. The leftover $2,806,976.04 is not labeled cash on hand in this packet. Low spend-through is a Form 3X pairing. It is not a finding that the committee is inactive, and it is not a motive.

Action and votes in the committee name do not prove the $559,980.64 was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until schedules are opened on FEC.gov for C00707844. This page does not split ads from overhead.

EDF as an acronym collides with the Environmental Defense Fund and with other EDF-titled entities. The C-number is the match key. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC Form 3X. Do not merge C00707844 with a 501 unless that entity's FEC ID is this one.

Individual contributions of $3,320,657.64

Individual contributions of $3,320,657.64 are about 98.6% of $3,366,956.68. The leftover $46,299.04 sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not enumerate. A high individual share plus low spend-through is the distinctive pairing on this Super PAC.

A $3.32 million individual total is a category aggregate, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, live on FEC.gov. This overlay does not name those people.

What EDF ACTION VOTES is not

These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not an environmental scorecard. They are $3,366,956.68 received, $559,980.64 disbursed, and $3,320,657.64 individual on a type-O Super PAC. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Keep $3,366,956.68 labeled as Super PAC receipts. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

Low spend-through and an acronym collision

EDF ACTION VOTES is the low spend-through marker in this batch: $559,980.64 disbursed of $3,366,956.68 received, about 16.6%. Individual contributions of $3,320,657.64 are about 98.6% of receipts. High individual inflows plus low outflows is the pairing. The leftover $2,806,976.04 is not cash on hand in this packet. Low spend-through is not a finding of inactivity. It is a Form 3X pairing on rolled aggregates.

EDF as an acronym collides with Environmental Defense Fund and with other EDF-titled entities. Committee C00707844 is the match key. Jack Pratt as treasurer and Washington, D.C., as the city of record identify the Super PAC. Independent-expenditure-only status keeps $3,366,956.68 on Form 3X. Do not merge this filing with a 501. Do not fold the dollars into a candidate's Form 3.

Votes in the name is not a turnout score. A District address does not confine independent expenditures to the District. Open FEC.gov if you need Schedule A or Schedule E. Use the EDF ACTION VOTES committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other teen spend-through type-O committees, and the PAC directory. Cite FEC.gov. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

If you cite EDF ACTION VOTES, lead with the low spend-through: $559,980.64 of $3,366,956.68, individuals $3,320,657.64, committee C00707844. Jack Pratt and Washington, D.C., complete the identity block. About 16.6% spend-through and about 98.6% individual is a high-individual, low-outflow pairing. EDF as an acronym collides; the C-number is the join. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type, not a 501 and not a candidate Form 3. Votes stays a filing word. FEC.gov holds the schedules this overlay does not reprint. LobbyVault does not score the environment.
