Receipts of $6.92 million on Form 3X
FORWARD BLUE's receipt aggregate is $6,923,137.84. LobbyVault pulls that number from FEC committee totals for C00835041, not from New Jersey ELEC reports. Form 3X is the report family federal PACs and Super PACs use. Forward and blue are title words. They are not a party assignment by LobbyVault and not a score of seats.
Committee ID C00835041 is the match key when other forward-blue titles appear in the PAC directory. This page does not estimate ad impressions and does not map the money to a specific office. The committee page for C00835041 is the overlay target if you need the live table next to this prose.
Disbursements of $5.12 million, about 74.0% of receipts
Total disbursements are $5,123,489.93. That is about 74.0% of the $6,923,137.84 in receipts. FORWARD BLUE has reported spending a clear majority of reported inflows in these aggregates. The packet does not label the remainder as cash on hand.
Disbursements on a Super PAC can include independent expenditures plus operating costs. This summary does not split them. If you need the independent-expenditure schedule, go to the FEC reports for C00835041.
Individual money: $6.41 million, about 92.6%
Individual contributions total $6,410,891.76, about 92.6% of receipts. Reported inflows are therefore mostly tagged as individual under FEC rules. The leftover $512,246.08 sits in other receipt categories this packet does not enumerate.
A 92.6% individual share is a high individual coding, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual contributions that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov.
Somers Point address and treasurer of record
FORWARD BLUE is registered with a Somers Point, New Jersey, city and state of record. The treasurer is David Austin. New Jersey as the address of record is not a statement that the committee's spending is limited to New Jersey races. Super PAC independent expenditures can be reported in any federal contest the committee files on.
Citing David Austin identifies the filing, not a biography. Independent-expenditure-only status is the Super PAC flag.
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 — $6,923,137.84 received, $5,123,489.93 disbursed, $6,410,891.76 in individual contributions — plus the Super PAC flag, city, and treasurer. These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

Individual contributions of $6,410,891.76 are about 92.6% of receipts, leaving $512,246.08 in unnamed FEC categories. Treasurer David Austin and the Somers Point, New Jersey, 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.
Forward and blue are title words, not a party assignment by LobbyVault. The C-number is the match key. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees with high individual coding, and the PAC directory when forward-blue titles overlap. Stay inside those three links. Do not fold $6,923,137.84 into a New Jersey ELEC ledger or a candidate authorized-committee report.
A 74.0% spend-through ratio on $6,923,137.84 is a majority-spent pattern. The packet still does not split ads from overhead inside $5,123,489.93. Citing $6,410,891.76 individual next to the receipt total is the category fact. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not endorse FORWARD BLUE.
Somers Point, New Jersey, as the city of record on C00835041 is an organization field. It does not confine the $6,923,137.84 in receipts or the $5,123,489.93 in disbursements to New Jersey races. David Austin as treasurer identifies the filing. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. The 92.6% individual share and 74.0% spend-through remain the two ratios on FORWARD BLUE. Blue in the title is not a party assignment by LobbyVault.
