Wisconsin in the title, Austin, Texas, on the statement of organization
SOLUTIONS FOR WISCONSIN is the FEC name field. The address of record is Austin, Texas. Those two facts sit in the same packet and should be read together. A state in a Super PAC title is not a geographic spending map, and a Texas mailing city is not proof the money stayed in Texas. Independent-expenditure-only Super PACs report federal activity. They can file independent expenditures in any federal contest the committee chooses.
Committee ID C00636084 is the stable key when Wisconsin, solutions, and PAC collide in the PAC directory. Cabell Hobbs as treasurer identifies the filing. It does not assign a party and does not locate every dollar in Dane County or in Travis County.
LobbyVault indexes FEC Form 3X committee totals. This page does not pull Wisconsin state campaign-finance reports. If a researcher needs state-level filings, those live at the state agency, not in this packet.
Matched $4,437,965.50 in receipts and disbursements
Receipts and disbursements both print as $4,437,965.50. 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.
Solutions in the name does not prove the $4.44 million was independent expenditures, and it does not prove the money bought ads in Wisconsin. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until schedules are opened on FEC.gov for C00636084.
Individual contributions of $4,400,000
Individual contributions are $4,400,000.00 of $4,437,965.50, about 99.1%. The leftover $37,965.50 sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. A round $4.4 million individual line is a category total, 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 and does not rank them.
Independent-expenditure-only, not a candidate ledger
These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not a Wisconsin legislative scorecard. They are $4,437,965.50 received, $4,437,965.50 disbursed, and $4,400,000.00 individual on a type-O Super PAC. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.
Do not fold $4,437,965.50 into an authorized campaign. Do not merge C00636084 with a similarly named 501. Only the Super PAC Form 3X totals are citeable here.
How to read the three packet links
Open the SOLUTIONS FOR WISCONSIN committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare other type-O committees whose title names a state that is not the address-of-record state. Use the PAC directory when Wisconsin in the title collides.
Cite FEC.gov as the source of the Form 3X aggregates. Cabell Hobbs and Austin, Texas, identify the filing. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.
Why the Austin, Texas, address matters on a Wisconsin-titled Super PAC
SOLUTIONS FOR WISCONSIN is a textbook name-versus-address split. The FEC name field points at Wisconsin. The statement of organization points at Austin, Texas, with treasurer Cabell Hobbs. Committee C00636084 is the only stable join between those two facts. Researchers who assume a Wisconsin mailbox will miss the filing. Researchers who assume Texas-only spending will also miss the filing. Super PAC independent expenditures are federal and can be reported in any contest the committee files.
The money lines are simple: $4,437,965.50 received, $4,437,965.50 disbursed, $4,400,000.00 individual. About 99.1% individual plus 100% spend-through on these aggregates is a high-individual, empty-the-register pairing. The leftover $37,965.50 of receipts is unnamed. The packet has no cash-on-hand field. Solutions in the title is not a policy grade.
Cabell Hobbs appears as treasurer on more than one Austin Super PAC in LobbyVault's packet set. Match on C00636084 rather than on the treasurer string. This page does not pull Wisconsin Ethics Commission reports. Use the SOLUTIONS FOR WISCONSIN committee page for FEC tables, the Super PAC tracker for other name-state mismatches, and the PAC directory when Wisconsin in the title collides. Keep $4,437,965.50 labeled as Super PAC receipts, not candidate receipts.
If you cite SOLUTIONS FOR WISCONSIN, always pair the Wisconsin title with the Austin, Texas, address of record and committee C00636084. The money block is $4,437,965.50 received, $4,437,965.50 disbursed, $4,400,000.00 individual. Cabell Hobbs completes the identity line. Name-state and mailing-state diverge on purpose in this packet; both facts are true. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type. This overlay does not substitute Wisconsin state filings for FEC Form 3X. FEC.gov holds the schedules not reprinted here.
