There is not one supporting expenditure on the filing. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Spender | **CLF**, FEC committee **C00504530**, 1747 Pennsylvania Avenue NW 5th Floor, Washington DC | | Committee type | Hybrid PAC (with Non-Contribution Account) — Qualified | | Disclosed | FEC **48-hour** notice (**Form 24, F24N, file 2015245**), received **2026-09-25**, treasurer **Caleb Crosby** | | Expenditure date | **2026-09-23** (all 60 lines) | | Election code | **G2026** | | Direction | **$18,688,377.36 oppose — 100.0%** | | Primary vendor | **Flexpoint Media** — $11,363,287.97, or **61%** of the notice | | Second vendor | **[[Del Ray Media LLC]]** — $6,256,089.39, or **33%** | | Other vendors | Starboard Advertising $510,000 · Right Target Media $275,000 · Alamo Intelligence LLC $175,000 · Prime Media Partners $26,000 · Something Else Strategies LLC, BrabenderCox, Patchwork Creative, Motive Media, On Message Inc., Breakpoint Media LLC ($13,000 each) | | Memo-flagged rows | **None** | | Amendment status | Original, **F24N** | ## Largest positions | District | Target | Amount | Lines | |---|---|---|---| | MI-H | Christina Hines | **$1,304,641.57** | 3 | | NY-H | Cait Conley | $1,171,807.13 | 4 | | PA-H | Bob Brooks | $1,125,416.15 | 3 | | NC-H | Don Davis | $1,120,003.04 | 2 | | TX-H | Henry Cuellar | $1,026,059.99 | 4 | | AZ-H | Amish Shah | $1,020,025.39 | 2 | | CO-H | Manny Rutinel | $920,421.34 | 2 | | CA-H | Randy Villegas | $895,297.35 | 3 | | TX-H | Vicente Gonzalez | $880,465.38 | 4 | | WI-H | Rebecca Cooke | $851,415.64 | 3 | | OH-H | Greg Landsman | $763,758.08 | 3 | | IA-H | Christina Bohannan | $761,746.49 | 2 | Also targeted: Matt Dunlap (ME), William Lawrence (MI), Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA), Adam Gray (CA), Janelle Stelson (PA), Marcy Kaptur (OH), Paige Cognetti (PA), Elaine Luria (VA), Gabriel Vasquez (NM), Joanna Mendoza (AZ), Sarah Trone Garriott (IA), Kristen McDonald Rivet (MI), Denise Powell (NE). ## Why it matters **An all-negative notice is a strategic statement.** Sixty lines, twenty-five districts, zero dollars spent making the case for a Republican. The House majority is being defended entirely by attacking the challengers — and in nine of these districts the Democrat being attacked is an incumbent, so the money is defending Republican pickup targets rather than Republican seats. **It shares a treasurer and a vendor with the Senate side.** **Caleb Crosby** signed this notice and the [[Senate Leadership Fund]] notice of the same day; **Flexpoint Media** placed 67% of that one and 61% of this one. Together the two committees placed **$42,274,883.04** on expenditure date September 23. See [[SLF 23.6M Senate IE September 2026]]. **Del Ray Media LLC again.** The $6.26M second vendor on this notice is the same buyer the vault records on [[MAGA Inc 20M Texas Senate IE Program]] and on both of [[No Going Back PAC]]'s eight-figure notices. Four committees across the party's House, Senate, presidential-aligned and new-vehicle layers use it. > [!note] Where the money comes from > CLF's largest single source this cycle is **[[American Action Network]]**, its 501(c)(4) twin, which has > moved **$43,500,000** into it — see > [[American Action Network 43.5M to Congressional Leadership Fund]]. AAN discloses no donors. > [!warning] Aggregates on this filing > Aggregates on these rows reach $3,076,463.01. They are not > to be read as district or committee totals. Every figure above is derived by summing the document's own > unflagged lines and reconciles to $18,688,377.36. > [!note] Superseded as the largest House notice — 2026-10-02 > Nine days later CLF filed **$24,487,488.77 across 63 lines in 27 districts**, again **100% oppose** > (Form 24 file 2016529, expenditure date 2026-09-30). That notice is 31% larger than this one and is now > the largest House-side independent expenditure in this vault. **Combined across the two: > $43,175,866.13, zero supporting dollars.** Del Ray Media LLC's share of CLF's buying rose from 33% here > to 41.7% there.
