FAIRSHAKE — $135.1 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Receipts of $135.1 million on Form 3X

FAIRSHAKE's receipt aggregate is $135,112,779.13. LobbyVault pulls that number from FEC committee totals for C00835959, not from advertising invoices or 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, grouped into contribution and other income categories the FEC defines.

A nine-figure receipt line puts FAIRSHAKE among the larger Super PACs 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 C00835959 is the overlay target if you need the live table next to this prose.

Nearly $49.8 million reported spent

Total disbursements are $49,759,658.89. That is about 36.8% of the $135,112,779.13 in receipts. FAIRSHAKE has therefore reported spending a substantial share of what it reported raising, while still showing a gap between the two Form 3X totals. The packet does not label the remainder 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 C00835959. 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: $106.2 million

Individual contributions total $106,202,988.15, about 78.6% of receipts. FAIRSHAKE's reported inflows are therefore mostly tagged as individual under FEC rules. 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 $106.2 million individual line also does not mean the rest of the $135.1 million is mysterious: it means those dollars sit in other receipt categories that this packet does not enumerate.

St. Paul address and treasurer of record

FAIRSHAKE is registered with a St. Paul, Minnesota, city and state of record. The treasurer is Brandon Philipczyk. Committee ID C00835959 is the stable key across cycles of renaming or similar PAC titles in the PAC directory. Minnesota as the address of record is not a statement that the committee's spending is limited to Minnesota races. Super PAC independent expenditures can be reported in any federal contest the committee chooses to file on.

Treasurer names appear because FEC statements of organization require one. Citing Brandon Philipczyk 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 — $135,112,779.13 received, $49,759,658.89 disbursed, $106,202,988.15 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 C00835959 for the tables this overlay sits above.

St. Paul filings versus federal independent expenditures

FAIRSHAKE's St. Paul, Minnesota, address of record is an organization field on committee C00835959. Independent-expenditure-only Super PACs report federal activity. The $49,759,658.89 disbursement total is not a Minnesota-only spending map, and the $135,112,779.13 receipt total is not a Minnesota fundraising map. Brandon Philipczyk as treasurer identifies the filing. It does not confine the money to one state.

About 36.8% spend-through is a middle ratio: not the near-100% empty-the-register pattern, not the single-digit spend-through pattern. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside the $49,759,658.89. Individual contributions of $106,202,988.15 leave $28,909,790.98 of receipts in other FEC categories. That leftover is unnamed here.

Do not fold $135,112,779.13 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 FAIRSHAKE 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 C00835959 are the citeable facts.
