# Defend American Jobs 13.2M Ohio Nebraska IE October 2026 On **2026-10-20**, [[Defend American Jobs]] (FEC **C00836221**), the Senate-focused arm of the crypto-industry network built around [[Fairshake PAC]], disclosed **$13,190,436.12** of independent expenditure on one 24-hour notice — **file 2035244**, form `F24N`, received 2026-10-21 at 19:41:23. | Race | Candidate | FEC ID | Support / oppose | Amount | |---|---|---|---|---| | [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] | [[Sherrod Brown]] | S6OH00163 | oppose | $6,812,202.00 | | [[NE-Sen-2026]] | [[Dan Osborn]] | S4NE00207 | oppose | $4,102,032.12 | | [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] | [[Jon Husted]] | S6OH00304 | support | $2,276,202.00 | By state: Ohio **$9,088,404.00**, Nebraska **$4,102,032.12**. Nearly all of it ran through one vendor, **Main Street Media Group** ($13,157,882.12), with $32,554.00 to Dockside Strategies LLC. ## The Nebraska entry This committee's prior notices on the site — [[Defend American Jobs 12.1M Ohio Senate IE]] and [[Defend American Jobs 11M Ohio Senate IE October 2026]] — were Ohio-only. The $4.1 million against [[Dan Osborn]] is its first material commitment to [[NE-Sen-2026]], a race where the anti-Osborn money had until now come through [[Nebraska Values PAC]] and its dark-money funders. A national industry committee arriving in Nebraska two weeks out says the seat is live. ## The Ohio collision The same tranche carries [[WinSenate 44M Senate Map IE October 2026]], which spent **$16,656,846.22 opposing** [[Jon Husted]] on the same expenditure date this committee spent $2,276,202.00 supporting him. Ohio absorbed roughly $25.7 million of disclosed independent expenditure dated 2026-10-20 alone. ## Verification Derived from the raw filed document. All six lines are unflagged originals on an `F24N` notice, single expenditure date **2026-10-20**, election code `G2026`; nothing on the notice needs adjusting before it is totaled. The notice totals **$13,190,436.12**. ⚠️ **First read** from the 2026-10-21 tranche, to be re-derived on the next run's T-2 re-check.
