Receipts of $11.2 million on Form 3X

ELECT CHICAGO WOMEN AKA ECW's receipt aggregate is $11,193,360.96. LobbyVault pulls that number from FEC committee totals for C00936724, not from advertising invoices or Illinois 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, grouped into contribution and other income categories the FEC defines.

An eight-figure receipt line puts this Super PAC in a mid-to-large band of independent-expenditure-only committees in the tracker. Rank is not the same as influence. This page does not estimate ad impressions, does not assign a party, and does not map the money to a specific office. The committee page for C00936724 is the overlay target if you need the live table next to this prose.

Chicago in the committee name and Chicago as the city of record are two fields, not a proof that every dollar was raised in Cook County. Super PAC independent expenditures can be reported in any federal contest the committee files on. The C-number is the match key when the aka ECW short name collides with other Chicago-titled PACs in the PAC directory.

Nearly $10.8 million reported spent

Total disbursements are $10,831,561.95. That is about 96.8% of the $11,193,360.96 in receipts. ELECT CHICAGO WOMEN AKA ECW has therefore reported spending almost all of what it reported raising in these aggregates. The packet does not label the $361,799.01 gap as cash on hand. Timing, loans, and refunds can all move those lines.

Disbursements on a Super PAC can include independent expenditures — ads, mail, digital — plus operating costs. This summary does not split them. If you need the independent-expenditure schedule, go to the FEC reports for C00936724. LobbyVault's job here is to put the aggregate next to the Super PAC flag so the filing type is not confused with a candidate committee.

Individual money: $7.13 million

Individual contributions total $7,125,000, about 63.7% of receipts. ELECT CHICAGO WOMEN AKA ECW's reported inflows are therefore majority-tagged as individual under FEC rules, with $4,068,360.96 sitting in other receipt categories this packet does not name. Super PACs may take unlimited contributions from individuals; that is a filing-category fact, not a judgment about any named person.

The individual-contribution aggregate does not list donors. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov and on the committee page. A 63.7% individual share is a mixed receipt line, not a clone of the $11,193,360.96 total.

Chicago address and treasurer of record

ELECT CHICAGO WOMEN AKA ECW is registered with a Chicago, Illinois, city and state of record. The treasurer is Wanda Williams. Committee ID C00936724 is the stable key across cycles of renaming or similar PAC titles. Illinois as the address of record is not a statement that the committee's spending is limited to Illinois races.

Treasurer names appear because FEC statements of organization require one. Citing Wanda Williams identifies the filing, not a biography. Women in the committee name is a title word. It is not a donor-gender table and not a candidate list.

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 — $11,193,360.96 received, $10,831,561.95 disbursed, $7,125,000 in individual contributions — plus the Super PAC flag, city, and treasurer. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare other independent-expenditure-only committees, and use the committee page for C00936724 for the tables this overlay sits above.

Reading Form 3X next to the overlay tables

About 96.8% spend-through is a near-empty-the-register pattern on these aggregates. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside the $10,831,561.95. Individual contributions of $7,125,000 leave $4,068,360.96 of receipts in other FEC categories. That leftover is unnamed here.

Do not fold $11,193,360.96 into a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. Itemized contributor and independent-expenditure schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. Use the ELECT CHICAGO WOMEN AKA ECW committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory — the three links this packet lists. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee. The three dollar totals plus treasurer, city, and C00936724 are the citeable facts.
