RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC — $11.1 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Zero dollars on the individual-contribution line

The distinctive filing fact for RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC is the $0 individual-contribution aggregate against $11,075,698 in receipts. That does not mean the committee reported no money. It means FEC Form 3X tagged none of those receipts as individual contributions in the totals this packet carries. The remaining $11,075,698 is other receipt types the packet does not name — transfers, other committees, or categories that are not the individual line.

A $0 individual figure is easy to misread as a blank filing. It is not blank. Receipts are $11,075,698. The Super PAC flag still applies. Super PAC rules allow several lawful receipt types; this page only cites the three dollar fields in the packet. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00490730.

RGA as letters in the committee name will collide with other right-direction and governors-adjacent titles in search. Committee ID C00490730 is the match key. This packet does not expand the acronym, does not assign a party, and does not merge C00490730 with any similarly named non-Super PAC.

Disbursements of $10.5 million, about 95.2% of receipts

Total disbursements are $10,539,812.27. That is about 95.2% of $11,075,698 in receipts. RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC has reported spending nearly all of reported inflows in these aggregates. The packet does not label the remainder as cash on hand.

Right direction in the committee name does not prove the $10,539,812.27 was independent expenditures. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until you open the schedules. LobbyVault does not score direction. Public records describe filings.

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

City and state of record are Washington, D.C. Treasurer of record is Staci Goede. Committee ID is C00490730. Independent-expenditure-only status is the Super PAC flag. This page does not merge C00490730 with any similarly named 501 organization. Only the Form 3X committee totals are in this packet.

A D.C. address of record is an organization field. It is not a map of where independent expenditures ran. Super PAC IE activity can be reported in any federal contest the committee files on.

What RGA Right Direction PAC is not, on these facts

These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not a governors' scorecard. They are $11,075,698 received, $10,539,812.27 disbursed, and $0 individual on a type-O committee. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate. No voting advice follows.

How to read the overlay

Open the RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees whose individual line is $0 rather than a near-clone of receipts. Use the PAC directory for name matching. Keep Form 3X off of candidate ledgers.

A $0 individual line on an $11.1 million Super PAC

Cite the packet facts in this order: $11,075,698 received, $10,539,812.27 disbursed, $0 individual, treasurer Staci Goede, Washington, D.C., committee C00490730. About 95.2% spend-through is a high-ratio pattern. The $0 individual share is the category fact that sets this filing apart from Super PACs whose individual line nearly equals receipts.

Do not treat $11,075,698 as missing because the individual field is $0. The receipt total is the headline number. The unnamed remainder is the entire receipt pile. Form 3X stays on the Super PAC side. Itemized contributor and independent-expenditure schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov.

Use the RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC committee page, the Super PAC tracker, and the PAC directory — the three links this packet lists. The three dollar totals plus treasurer, city, and C00490730 are the citeable facts.

Form 3X is the report family behind RGA RIGHT DIRECTION PAC's $11,075,698 receipt total and $10,539,812.27 disbursement total. Those two lines produce about 95.2% spend-through on committee C00490730. Individual contributions of $0 leave the entire receipt pile in unnamed FEC categories. Treasurer Staci Goede 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. They are not cash on hand. They are not an endorsement.

Right direction as title words will collide with other RGA-adjacent PAC names. The C-number does not collide. Open the committee overlay for the tables, the Super PAC tracker for other type-O committees with a $0 individual line, and the PAC directory when the letters RGA match more than one row. Stay inside those three links. Do not fold $11,075,698 into a governors' association budget or a candidate ledger. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

A 95.2% spend-through ratio on $11,075,698 is a near-empty-the-register pattern with a category twist: none of the money is tagged individual in this packet. Researchers who assume Super PAC equals large individual checks will misread C00490730. The $0 individual field and the $11,075,698 receipt field must be cited together. Itemized contributor and independent-expenditure schedules, where required, remain on FEC.gov.
