FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY — $14.2 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Name geography that matches the filing city

FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY lists Lexington, Kentucky, as city and state of record. Unlike Super PACs in this set whose names and addresses disagree, this committee's branding and filing location both point at Kentucky. That match is still not a spending map. Super PAC independent expenditures are federal filings and can name contests inside or outside Kentucky.

Treasurer of record is Charles Gantt. Committee ID is C00898130. The same treasurer string appears on other Super PACs with different cities; do not merge C00898130 with those committees.

Cite the packet facts in this order: $14,215,697.98 received, $14,097,015.72 disbursed, $13,174,961.20 individual, treasurer Charles Gantt, Lexington, Kentucky, committee C00898130. Name and city both say Kentucky. About 99.2% spend-through is a near-full outflow. About 92.7% individual share leaves $1,040,736.78 in other receipt types.

Federal Form 3X is not a Kentucky state PAC report. Independent-expenditure-only status is the Super PAC flag. Matching the treasurer string to other committees is not a merge. C00898130 keeps these totals. Fight is a name word, not voting advice. Lexington is a filing city, not a list of independent-expenditure targets.

$14.2 million in, $14.1 million out

Disbursements of $14,097,015.72 are about 99.2% of $14,215,697.98 in receipts. FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY has reported spending nearly all of what it reported raising. The gap is $118,682.26. The packet does not call that remainder cash on hand.

Fight is a name word. It does not prove the $14.1 million was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until you open the schedules.

Form 3X is the report family behind FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY's $14,215,697.98 receipt total and $14,097,015.72 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 99.2% spend-through on committee C00898130. Individual contributions of $13,174,961.20 are about 92.7% of receipts. Treasurer Charles Gantt and the Lexington, KY, address of record identify the Super PAC on FEC.gov. Independent-expenditure-only status means these figures are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not cash on hand. They are not an endorsement. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees, and the PAC directory when the name collides. Stay inside those three links.

Individual contributions of $13.2 million

Individual contributions of $13,174,961.20 are about 92.7% of receipts. Reported inflows are mostly coded as individual, with $1,040,736.78 in other FEC receipt types not named here.

A 92.7% individual share does not identify Kentucky residents as donors. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov.

Federal Super PAC, not a state legislative account

Independent-expenditure-only status means these totals are federal Form 3X figures. They are not Kentucky Registry of Election Finance state-PAC totals and not a candidate's authorized campaign. Mixing them with state reports would mix datasets.

LobbyVault does not treat fight as an instruction to voters. Public records describe what C00898130 reported.

Name and filing city that both say Kentucky

FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY files as C00898130 with Charles Gantt as treasurer in Lexington, Kentucky. Unlike Super PACs whose names and addresses disagree, branding and filing location both point at Kentucky. That match still does not list independent-expenditure targets. Super PAC IE filings are federal and can name contests outside Kentucky.

About 99.2% spend-through ($14,097,015.72 of $14,215,697.98) is a near-full-outflow pattern. Individual contributions of $13,174,961.20 are about 92.7%, leaving $1,040,736.78 in other FEC categories. A 92.7% individual share does not identify Kentucky residents as donors.

Fight is a name word. LobbyVault does not treat it as an instruction. Independent-expenditure-only status means federal Form 3X, not Kentucky state campaign-finance totals. Matching treasurer strings across Super PACs is not a license to merge C00898130 with other Gantt-filed committees.

Use the FIGHT FOR KENTUCKY committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory. Keep $14,215,697.98 off of candidate Form 3 ledgers. No voting advice follows from the filings.
