FAIR COURTS AMERICA — $4.33 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Disbursements of $4,866,831.19 exceed receipts

Total disbursements of $4,866,831.19 sit $536,089.11 above the $4,330,742.08 receipt line. Spend-through on these aggregates is about 112.4%. Super PAC Form 3X totals can show disbursements above receipts when prior-cycle cash, loans, or how LobbyVault rolls cycles into one pair of aggregates. The packet does not label cash on hand, so this page does not invent a starting balance.

Fair and courts in the committee name do not prove the $4.87 million was independent expenditures about judges. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity. Open FEC schedules for C00805283 if you need the independent-expenditure breakout.

Spending above receipts is a filing-arithmetic fact. It is not a finding of debt, and it is not a motive. Cite the two lines as they print: $4,330,742.08 received, $4,866,831.19 disbursed.

Individual contributions of $4,226,248.70

Individual contributions are $4,226,248.70 of $4,330,742.08, about 97.6%. The leftover $104,493.38 sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not enumerate. A high individual share is a Super PAC category fact, not a donor list.

Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. This overlay does not name those people.

Ponte Vedra, Florida, address of record

City and state of record are Ponte Vedra, Florida. Treasurer of record is Sherry Gaskill. Committee ID is C00805283. Fair Courts America collides with judicial-advocacy titles in search; the C-number is the match key in the PAC directory.

Florida as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Florida races, and it does not turn Form 3X into a state judicial-election report. Sherry Gaskill identifies the statement of organization. Citing the treasurer is an identity check, not a biography.

Independent-expenditure Super PAC, not a candidate committee

These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not a ranking of courts. They are $4,330,742.08 received, $4,866,831.19 disbursed, and $4,226,248.70 individual on a type-O committee. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Do not fold $4,330,742.08 into an authorized campaign. Do not merge C00805283 with a similarly named 501. Only the Super PAC Form 3X totals in this packet are citeable here.

How to read the overlay

Open the FAIR COURTS AMERICA committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees whose disbursement line exceeds receipts. Use the PAC directory when Fair Courts or America in the title collides.

Cite FEC.gov Form 3X aggregates as the source. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

When Super PAC disbursements print above receipts

FAIR COURTS AMERICA is one of the Super PACs in this batch whose disbursement line exceeds receipts: $4,866,831.19 spent against $4,330,742.08 raised, a $536,089.11 gap. LobbyVault's Form 3X aggregates can produce that pattern when prior-cycle cash, loans, or multi-cycle rollups sit behind the two lines. The packet does not include cash on hand, so this page does not invent a starting balance or a debt figure.

Individual contributions of $4,226,248.70 are about 97.6% of receipts. The leftover $104,493.38 is unnamed. Sherry Gaskill as treasurer and Ponte Vedra, Florida, as the city of record identify C00805283. Courts in the title is a filing word. It is not a judicial rating. Independent-expenditure-only status keeps these dollars off of candidate Form 3 ledgers and off of state judicial-election reports unless those reports are a different filing.

Florida as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Florida. Open Schedule E on FEC.gov if you need race-level independent expenditures. Use the FAIR COURTS AMERICA committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees with disbursements above receipts, and the PAC directory when Fair Courts collides. Cite $4,330,742.08 received and $4,866,831.19 disbursed as they print. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee.

If you cite FAIR COURTS AMERICA, lead with disbursements above receipts: $4,866,831.19 spent against $4,330,742.08 raised, committee C00805283, individuals $4,226,248.70. Sherry Gaskill and Ponte Vedra, Florida, complete the identity block. The $536,089.11 overage is Form 3X arithmetic on rolled aggregates, not a debt finding invented here. Courts in the title stays a filing word. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type. FEC.gov holds Schedule E if you need race-level independent expenditures this packet does not list.
