Spent more than the $5.57 million receipt line

FORWARD MAJORITY ACTION disbursed $6,279,784.70 against $5,572,682.14 in receipts. That is about 112.7% spend-through. The packet does not explain the overage. Prior-period cash, loans, refunds, and how FEC rolls cycles into an aggregate can all produce a spending line above receipts. This page does not label the overage as debt. It cites the two totals.

Forward, majority, and action are title words. They are not a seat count and not a prediction. Committee ID C00631549 is the match key in the PAC directory when other forward-majority titles appear.

LobbyVault pulls these figures from FEC committee aggregates, not from advertising invoices. Form 3X is the report family federal Super PACs use.

Individual money: $4.00 million, about 71.8%

Individual contributions total $3,998,732.39, about 71.8% of receipts. A majority of reported inflows are tagged as individual under FEC rules. The remaining $1,573,949.75 sits in other receipt categories this packet does not name.

A 71.8% individual share is a mixed line, not a donor roster. Super PAC rules allow large individual contributions that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00631549.

Washington, D.C., identity and the treasurer field

City and state of record are Washington, D.C. Treasurer of record is Leslie Martes. Independent-expenditure-only status is the Super PAC flag. A D.C. address of record is an organization field. It is not a map of where independent expenditures ran.

Citing Leslie Martes 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 of a majority. It restates three FEC aggregates — $5,572,682.14 received, $6,279,784.70 disbursed, $3,998,732.39 in individual contributions — plus the Super PAC flag, city, and treasurer. These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

How to read the overlay

Open the FORWARD MAJORITY ACTION committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees whose disbursements exceed receipts. Use the PAC directory when forward-majority titles collide. Keep Form 3X off of candidate ledgers.

A Super PAC whose spending line sits 12.7% above receipts

Cite the packet facts in this order: $5,572,682.14 received, $6,279,784.70 disbursed, $3,998,732.39 individual, treasurer Leslie Martes, Washington, D.C., committee C00631549. About 112.7% spend-through is the distinctive ratio.

Do not fold $5,572,682.14 into a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC Form 3X. Use the FORWARD MAJORITY ACTION committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee.

Form 3X is the report family behind FORWARD MAJORITY ACTION's $5,572,682.14 receipt total and $6,279,784.70 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 112.7% spend-through on committee C00631549: spending exceeds receipts by $707,102.56 on these aggregates. Individual contributions of $3,998,732.39 are about 71.8% of receipts, leaving $1,573,949.75 in unnamed FEC categories. Treasurer Leslie Martes and the Washington, D.C., 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, majority, and action are title words, not a seat count. The C-number is the match key. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees whose disbursements exceed receipts, and the PAC directory when forward-majority titles overlap. Stay inside those three links. Do not fold $5,572,682.14 into a candidate ledger.

A spending line 12.7% above receipts is a filing pattern, not a debt label. The packet does not explain the overage. Itemized contributor and independent-expenditure schedules, where required, remain on FEC.gov. LobbyVault does not endorse FORWARD MAJORITY ACTION.

Washington, D.C., as the city of record on C00631549 is an organization field. It does not confine the $5,572,682.14 in receipts or the $6,279,784.70 in disbursements to District of Columbia contests. Leslie Martes as treasurer identifies the filing. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. The 112.7% spend-through remains the distinctive ratio. Majority in the title is not a seat count. Action in the title does not split the disbursement line.

The $1,573,949.75 leftover on C00631549 sits outside the $3,998,732.39 individual line. The $707,102.56 overage is the spending-side fact.

Leslie Martes as treasurer of record identifies committee C00631549 on FEC.gov.
