# CLF 24.5M House IE October 2026 On **October 2, 2026**, the **[[Congressional Leadership Fund]]** (FEC committee **C00504530**) disclosed **$24,487,488.77** across **63 Schedule E lines** in **27 House districts**, every line dated **September 30, 2026** — and, as in September, **every single line opposing a Democrat**. There is not one supporting expenditure on the filing. It is the **largest House-side independent-expenditure notice recorded in this vault**, 31% above the committee's own September notice ([[CLF 18.7M House IE September 2026]]). > [!warning] This notice arrived late > As of 2026-10-03, receipt date 2026-10-02 showed **414 Schedule E lines / > $52,412,667.67 live**. Re-queried on 2026-10-04, that same receipt date returns **557 lines / 457 live / > $78,107,319.38** — **+$25,694,651.71, or +49.0%**, across 143 late-arriving lines. **This $24.49M notice > is almost the whole of that drift**, and it was not visible on 2026-10-03. The figures on > this page are therefore a **re-derived second read** taken one day later. > It is the largest single consequence > of late arrival measured in this window. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Spender | **CLF**, FEC committee **C00504530**, 1747 Pennsylvania Avenue NW 5th Floor, Washington DC 20006 | | Disclosed | FEC **48-hour** notice (**Form 24, F24N, file 2016529**), received **2026-10-02**, signed by treasurer **Caleb Crosby** | | Expenditure date | **2026-09-30** (all 63 lines) | | Election code | **G2026** | | Lines | **63** Schedule E rows, **63 live** | | Direction | **$24,487,488.77 oppose — 100.0%** | | Districts | **27** | | Largest single district | **NC-H, Don Davis — $1,639,703.12** across 2 lines | | Primary vendor | **Flexpoint Media** — $13,058,766.24, or **53.3%** | | Second vendor | **[[Del Ray Media LLC]]** — $10,203,222.53, or **41.7%** | | Other vendors | Starboard Advertising $510,000 · Right Target Media $450,000 · Alamo Intelligence LLC $175,000 · Motive Media $17,000 · On Message Inc. $15,000 · Red Elephant Strategy $13,500 · The Hereford Agency $13,000 · Dream America Media $13,000 · Breakpoint Media LLC $13,000 · Prime Media Partners $2,000 · Spotlight Media Group $2,000 · Patchwork Creative $2,000 | | Memo-flagged rows | **None** | | Amendment status | Original, **F24N** | ## The 27 districts All figures derived by summing the document's own unflagged lines; they reconcile to $24,487,488.77 to the cent.

Three districts — FL-H Kathy Castor and OH-H Brian Poindexter among them — carry running aggregates equal to their amounts on this notice, meaning this is CLF's **first** recorded spending against them. **[[Del Ray Media LLC]] has become a cross-committee chokepoint.** $10.2M of this notice — 41.7% — goes to the buyer the vault already records on [[MAGA Inc 20M Texas Senate IE Program]] (every tranche, including the $5,000,000 Texas line filed 2026-10-03) and on both of [[No Going Back PAC]]'s eight-figure notices. Del Ray's share of CLF's own buying rose from **33% in September to 41.7% in October** while Flexpoint's fell from 61% to 53.3%. Three committees across the House, presidential-aligned and new-vehicle layers now route a material share of Republican advertising through one private firm, and the vault has no page for it. See the vendor-page question in the 2026-10-03 digest. **The funding is one donor, and it is a nonprofit.** CLF's largest source this cycle is [[American Action Network]], its 501(c)(4) twin, which has moved **$43,500,000** into it — within $325,000 of the two notices above combined. AAN discloses no donors. See [[American Action Network 43.5M to Congressional Leadership Fund]]. > [!warning] Aggregates on this filing are not district totals > Aggregates on these rows run as high as **$4,247,192.65** (IA-H Christina Bohannan). The > aggregate column's meaning varies by filer and is not a district total, a > candidate total or a committee cycle total. Every figure on this page is derived by summing file > 2016529's own unflagged lines. ## See Also - [[Congressional Leadership Fund]] · [[American Action Network]] · [[American Action Network 43.5M to Congressional Leadership Fund]] - [[CLF 18.7M House IE September 2026]] · [[SLF 22.5M Senate IE October 2026]] · [[SLF 23.6M Senate IE September 2026]] - [[AFP Action 10.5M Senate Map IE October 2026]] · [[MAGA Inc 20M Texas Senate IE Program]] · [[No Going Back PAC]] - [[Senate Leadership Fund]] · [[One Nation]] · [[MAGA Inc]] - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[2026 House Races Hub]] · [[Deals Hub]]
