OPPORTUNITY AND FREEDOM PAC — $4.12 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Matched receipts and disbursements at $4,120,014

Committee C00573634 shows $4,120,014.00 received and $4,120,014.00 disbursed. That 100% spend-through is a Form 3X pairing on LobbyVault's aggregates. Equal lines can appear when cycles are rolled together or when the committee reported emptying the register. The packet does not include a cash-on-hand field.

Form 3X is the report family federal PACs and Super PACs use. Receipts are money the committee reported receiving. Disbursements are money it reported spending. Opportunity in the name does not prove the $4.12 million was independent expenditures. Operating costs sit in the same disbursement total until schedules are opened on FEC.gov.

Independent-expenditure-only status keeps these dollars on the Super PAC side of the FEC type table. Do not fold $4,120,014.00 into a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. Do not merge C00573634 with a similarly numbered Opportunity and Freedom committee unless the FEC ID matches.

Individual contributions of $2,976,686

Individual contributions of $2,976,686.00 are about 72.2% of $4,120,014.00. The remaining $1,143,328.00 of inflows sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. Seventy-two percent individual is a mixed Super PAC receipt line, not a 99% clone.

A $2.98 million individual total is a category aggregate, not a donor list. Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that authorized candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, live on FEC.gov for C00573634.

Austin, Texas, treasurer Stefan C. Passantino

City and state of record are Austin, Texas. Treasurer of record is Stefan C. Passantino. Committee ID is C00573634. Opportunity and Freedom collides with other opportunity-titled PACs in the PAC directory; the C-number is the match key.

Texas as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Texas races. Super PAC Form 3X activity can be reported in any federal contest the committee files. Stefan C. Passantino identifies the statement of organization. Citing the treasurer is an identity check, not a biography.

What OPPORTUNITY AND FREEDOM PAC is not

These totals are not a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. They are not a ranking of opportunity. They are $4,120,014.00 received, $4,120,014.00 disbursed, and $2,976,686.00 individual on a type-O committee. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Keep $4,120,014.00 labeled as committee receipts. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

Independent-expenditure-only status keeps $4,120,014.00 on Form 3X. Do not fold those dollars into a candidate's Form 3. Texas as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Texas races.

Equal Form 3X lines are not a bank statement. The packet has no cash-on-hand field. Itemized contributor and independent-expenditure schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. Use the OPPORTUNITY AND FREEDOM PAC committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other matched-line mixed-individual type-O committees, and the PAC directory. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

Passantino and Austin, Texas, complete the identity block. About 72.2% individual plus 100% spend-through is mixed inflows and an empty-register outflow pairing. Opportunity and Freedom stay filing words. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type. Match on the C-number when similarly titled committees appear in the PAC directory. FEC.gov holds the schedules this overlay does not reprint.
