OHIO LEADS — $3.79 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Ohio in the title and Columbus on the statement of organization

OHIO LEADS is the FEC name field. The address of record is Columbus, Ohio. Name-state and address-state match here. That still does not prove independent expenditures were limited to Ohio races. Independent-expenditure-only Super PACs report federal activity. They can file independent expenditures in any federal contest the committee chooses.

Committee ID C00788851 is the stable key when Ohio and Leads collide in the PAC directory. Kim Ledesma as treasurer identifies the filing. It does not assign a party and does not locate every dollar in Franklin County.

LobbyVault indexes FEC Form 3X committee totals. This page does not pull Ohio state campaign-finance reports. If a researcher needs state-level filings, those live at the state agency, not in this packet.

Matched $3,794,485 in receipts and disbursements

Receipts and disbursements both print as $3,794,485.00. That 100% spend-through is a Form 3X pairing. Equal lines are not a bank-account statement. The packet does not label cash on hand, loans, or refunds.

Leads in the name does not prove the $3.79 million was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until schedules are opened on FEC.gov for C00788851.

Individual contributions of $3,238,650

Individual contributions are $3,238,650.00 of $3,794,485.00, about 85.4%. The leftover $555,835.00 sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. Eighty-five percent individual is a high Super PAC individual share, not a 99% clone and not a donor list.

Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. This overlay does not name donors.

Independent-expenditure-only, not a candidate ledger

These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not an Ohio legislative scorecard. They are $3,794,485.00 received, $3,794,485.00 disbursed, and $3,238,650.00 individual on a type-O Super PAC. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Do not fold $3,794,485.00 into an authorized campaign. Do not merge C00788851 with a similarly named 501. Only the Super PAC Form 3X totals are citeable here.

How to read the three packet links

Open the OHIO LEADS committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare other type-O committees whose title names a state that matches the address of record. Use the PAC directory when Ohio Leads collides.

Cite FEC.gov as the source of the Form 3X aggregates. Kim Ledesma and Columbus, Ohio, identify the filing. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

Columbus filings on an Ohio-titled Super PAC

OHIO LEADS lists Columbus, Ohio, with treasurer Kim Ledesma and committee ID C00788851. Name-state and address-state match, unlike Super PACs in this batch whose title-state and mailing-state diverge. Matching still does not prove independent expenditures stayed inside Ohio. Type-O Super PACs report federal activity in any contest the committee files.

The money lines are $3,794,485.00 received, $3,794,485.00 disbursed, and $3,238,650.00 individual. About 85.4% individual plus 100% spend-through is a high-individual, empty-the-register pairing. The leftover $555,835.00 of receipts is unnamed. Leads in the title is not a poll. This page does not pull Ohio state campaign-finance reports.

Matched Form 3X lines are not a bank statement. Open FEC schedules for C00788851 if you need payees or donors. Use the OHIO LEADS committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other state-titled type-O committees, and the PAC directory when Ohio Leads collides. Keep $3,794,485.00 labeled as Super PAC receipts, not candidate receipts. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

If you cite OHIO LEADS, keep $3,794,485.00 received, $3,794,485.00 disbursed, $3,238,650.00 individual, and committee C00788851. Kim Ledesma and Columbus, Ohio, complete the identity block. Name-state and mailing-state match; independent expenditures can still be reported outside Ohio. About 85.4% individual plus 100% spend-through is a high-individual empty-register pairing. Leads stays a filing word, not a poll. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type. This overlay does not substitute Ohio state filings for FEC Form 3X. FEC.gov holds the schedules not reprinted here. Kim Ledesma as treasurer and Columbus as city of record identify C00788851 next to the $3,794,485.00 pair.
