# AFP Action 10.5M Senate Map IE October 2026 On **October 3, 2026**, **[[AFP Action]]** (FEC committee **C00687103**) disclosed **$10,490,289.14** across **90 Schedule E lines** in a single Form 24 48-hour notice — **18 candidate positions**, ten of them spanning **five Senate races in which the committee bought both the support side and the oppose side**. It is the largest [[Koch Network]] independent expenditure recorded in this vault, and it clears the Deals **§7.4a** single-buy floor on the notice sum while its **largest single line is $1,296,308.75** — a structure no per-line threshold test can see. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Spender | **AFP Action**, FEC committee **C00687103**, filing as *Americans for Prosperity Action, Inc. (AFP Action) DBA CVA Action and DBA LIBRE Action* | | Address | 4201 Wilson Blvd #110, Arlington, VA | | Disclosed | FEC **48-hour** notice (**Form 24, F24N, file 2016600**), received **2026-10-03**, signed by treasurer **Margee Clancy** | | Expenditure dates | **2026-10-01** and **2026-10-02** | | Election code | **G2026** | | Lines | **90** Schedule E rows, **90 live** | | Direction | **$4,689,780.27 support (44.71%)** / **$5,800,508.87 oppose (55.29%)** | | Senate share | **$10,165,553.87 — 96.9%** of the notice | | Largest single line | **$1,296,308.75** | | Primary vendor | **In Pursuit Of, LLC** — $9,470,182.00, **90.3%** | | Other vendors | United States Postal Service $445,213.06 · People Who Think $247,740.84 · Targeted Victory LLC $121,033.00 · FP1 Strategies LLC $111,000.00 · Ted Prill dba KAP Print LLC $93,527.24 · FCG Mail LLC $1,593.00 | | Memo-flagged rows | **None** | | Amendment status | Original, **F24N** | > [!warning] This is a first read > The figures above come from e-file receipt date **2026-10-03**, read the same evening and re-queried > once (162 filings both times, identical form breakdown). Late filings on a closed receipt date have > been measured adding up to **+49%** to a day's total, so > **the $10,490,289.14 is a first read of that date, not a closed count.** The file-2016600 document > itself is final and its own lines reconcile to the cent; what may still grow is the surrounding tranche. ## The five matched pairs Every Senate race on this notice is bought on both sides. The figures are derived by summing the document's own unflagged lines and reconcile to $10,490,289.14 exactly. | Race | Supporting | Amount | Lines | Opposing | Amount | Lines | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [[MI-Sen-2026]] | [[Mike Rogers (Michigan)]] | **$1,140,933.90** | 10 | [[Abdul El-Sayed]] | **$1,296,308.75** | 5 | | [[IA-Sen-2026]] | [[Ashley Hinson]] | $875,925.39 | 6 | [[Josh Turek]] | **$1,214,974.49** | 8 | | [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] | [[Jon Husted]] | $929,997.75 | 7 | [[Sherrod Brown]] | **$1,138,997.75** | 5 | | [[NH-Sen-2026]] | John E. Sununu | $832,618.39 | 6 | [[Chris Pappas]] | **$1,101,411.54** | 8 | | [[AK-Sen-2026]] | [[Dan Sullivan]] | $702,330.00 | 6 | [[Mary Peltola]] | $932,055.91 | 9 | **Senate subtotal: $10,165,553.87 across 70 lines.** In all five races the oppose side is the larger of the two, by between 23% and 33%. ## House positions The remaining **$324,735.27** across 20 lines: | District | Position | Amount | Lines | |---|---|---|---| | MI-H | support [[Tom Barrett]] | $142,396.44 | 5 | | MI-H | oppose William Lawrence | $104,360.06 | 5 | | AZ-H | support [[Juan Ciscomani]] | $50,710.67 | 3 | | TX-H | oppose Vicente Gonzalez | $11,603.87 | 2 | | TX-H | support Eric Flores | $11,603.86 | 2 | | NC-H | support Jennifer Balkcom | $2,467.37 | 1 | | CO-H | support Timothy Evans | $796.50 | 1 | | CO-H | oppose Manny Rutinel | $796.50 | 1 | The TX-H and CO-H pairs are matched to within a dollar — the same mail piece reported as the two halves independent-expenditure disclosure requires, not two decisions. ## Why it matters **It buys both sides of the same race, and nothing else in this window does.** The autumn pattern in this vault is one-directional: SLF PAC's October notice is **100.00% oppose** ([[SLF 22.5M Senate IE October 2026]]), [[Congressional Leadership Fund]]'s is **100% oppose** across 27 districts ([[CLF 24.5M House IE October 2026]]), the crypto industry's Defend American Jobs is all-support ([[Defend American Jobs 12.1M Ohio Senate IE]]). AFP Action runs **44.7/55.3** and files a support line and an oppose line in every Senate race it touches. That is a different theory of what outside money is for: the party committees are buying opponent destruction, and this committee is buying persuasion on both tracks at once. **It is a mail program, not an ad buy — which is why nobody will report it.** $9.47M of $10.49M goes to a single entity, **In Pursuit Of, LLC**; the **United States Postal Service** is the second-largest payee at $445,213.06, with KAP Print LLC and FCG Mail LLC behind it. Essentially all mid-cycle press coverage of outside spending is sourced from broadcast-tracking firms, which see Flexpoint Media and Del Ray Media placements and cannot see this at all. An eight-figure Senate program ran across five states on October 1 and 2 and left no trace in the ad trackers. **It is SLF's map minus three states.** Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Alaska and New Hampshire are five of the eight races on [[SLF 342M Senate IE Reservation Program]]. North Carolina, Georgia and Maine — the other three — get nothing here. The Koch-network vehicle and the Senate Republican leadership vehicle are spending on substantially the same board with different instruments. **The spending belongs to the committee, not the 501(c)(4).** [[Americans for Prosperity]] is a 501(c)(4); its political committee, C00687103, has its own page at [[AFP Action]], where this Deal is filed. The c4 page keeps the lobbying, field and state-policy history; the committee page takes the money. > [!warning] The aggregates on this filing are not race totals > The rows carry per-race running aggregates of **$13,491,477.69** (Ohio), **$11,673,552.58** (Michigan), > **$8,987,086.54** (Iowa), **$4,802,094.35** (New Hampshire) and **$4,419,639.09** (Alaska). The > aggregate column's meaning varies by filer, and none of these should > be read as a race figure, a candidate figure or a committee cycle total. Every number on this page > is derived by summing file 2016600's own unflagged lines. > [!note] Method note — why this Deal nearly did not exist > `fec_efile_sweep.py seagg` reported a field named `single_buys_over_threshold`, which filtered > **individual Schedule E rows** at the $10M floor rather than summing each Form 24 notice as §7.4a > requires. On this tranche it returned **`[]`**. The notice was found by cross-reading > `by_notice_file`. The tool was patched in the same run — `single_buys_7_4a` now implements the > per-notice test — and the finding is written up as **Rule 4f** of the FEC Back-Sweep Standard. ## See Also - [[AFP Action]] · [[Americans for Prosperity]] · [[Stand Together]] · [[Koch Network]] · [[Charles Koch]] - [[MI-Sen-2026]] · [[IA-Sen-2026]] · [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] · [[NH-Sen-2026]] · [[AK-Sen-2026]] - [[Mike Rogers (Michigan)]] · [[Abdul El-Sayed]] · [[Ashley Hinson]] · [[Josh Turek]] · [[Jon Husted]] · [[Sherrod Brown]] · [[Chris Pappas]] · [[Dan Sullivan]] · [[Mary Peltola]] - [[CLF 24.5M House IE October 2026]] · [[SLF 22.5M Senate IE October 2026]] · [[SLF 342M Senate IE Reservation Program]] - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[2026 Senate Races Hub]] · [[Deals Hub]]
