ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC — $12.7 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC reported $12,723,000.00 in total receipts on FEC Form 3X aggregates indexed by LobbyVault. Disbursements are $12,683,694.15. Individual contributions are $12,273,000.00. The Washington, D.C., Super PAC lists Chris Koob as treasurer and is flagged as independent-expenditure-only. Illinois is in the name; the District of Columbia is on the form. Chris Koob as treasurer of C00902320 is a filing identity, not a biography, and the $12,723,000.00 receipt total remains a Form 3X committee aggregate.

Round-number receipts of $12.7 million

The receipt total is $12,723,000.00 — a round thousand-dollar figure. Individual contributions are $12,273,000.00, also round thousands. Disbursements of $12,683,694.15 are the line with cents. Round receipt aggregates often reflect how contributions were reported; they still do not name donors.

Spend-through is about 99.7%. ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC has reported moving nearly all of its inflows back out. The gap is $39,305.85. The packet does not call that remainder cash on hand.

Cite the packet facts in this order: $12,723,000.00 received, $12,683,694.15 disbursed, $12,273,000.00 individual, treasurer Chris Koob, Washington, D.C., committee C00902320. Round thousands on receipts and individual contributions sit next to cents on disbursements. About 99.7% spend-through and about 96.5% individual share describe the mix. The leftover $450,000.00 is other receipt types.

Illinois in the name and Washington, D.C., on the form disagree. Future is branding. Independent-expenditure-only status means federal Super PAC filings, not Illinois state totals and not a candidate campaign. Keep $12,723,000.00 off of Form 3 ledgers. A D.C. address is not a District-only spending map.

Individual share of about 96.5%

Individual contributions of $12,273,000.00 are about 96.5% of receipts. The remaining $450,000.00 of the receipt total is other FEC receipt types not named here — a clean leftover next to the round individual line.

A 96.5% individual share does not identify Illinois residents as donors. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00902320.

Form 3X is the report family behind ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC's $12,723,000.00 receipt total and $12,683,694.15 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 99.7% spend-through on committee C00902320. Individual contributions of $12,273,000.00 are about 96.5% of receipts. Treasurer Chris Koob and the Washington, DC, 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.

Illinois branding, Washington, D.C., filing address

The FEC name of record is ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC. City and state of record are Washington, D.C. Treasurer of record is Chris Koob. Committee ID is C00902320. Name geography and filing geography disagree. Neither field lists the contests where independent expenditures ran.

Future is a name word. LobbyVault does not forecast Illinois elections. A D.C. address does not confine independent expenditures to the District.

Federal Super PAC, not an Illinois state committee

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

No voting advice follows. Public records describe what C00902320 reported.

Overlay and tracker

The ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC committee page holds the tables. The Super PAC tracker lists other type-O committees with high spend-through and a name/address mismatch. The PAC directory is the name index. Distinctive facts: $12,723,000.00 in, $12,683,694.15 out, $12,273,000.00 individual, treasurer Chris Koob, Washington, D.C.

Round thousands in receipts, cents in disbursements

ILLINOIS FUTURE PAC's $12,723,000.00 receipts and $12,273,000.00 individual contributions are round thousands. Disbursements of $12,683,694.15 carry cents. About 99.7% spend-through and about 96.5% individual share describe C00902320 in this aggregate. Round receipt lines often reflect how contributions were reported. They still do not name donors.

Chris Koob as treasurer and Washington, D.C., as the city of record sit next to an Illinois name. Name geography and filing geography disagree. Future is a name word. LobbyVault does not forecast Illinois elections. Independent-expenditure-only status means federal Form 3X, not Illinois state campaign-finance totals.

The leftover $450,000.00 of receipts is other FEC categories. Super PAC rules allow large individual contributions. Keep $12,723,000.00 off of candidate Form 3 ledgers. A D.C. address does not confine independent expenditures to the District.
