# Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund 1M Who Stands For Us October 2026 On **e-file receipt date 2026-10-05**, [[Who Stands For Us]] filed its first quarterly report and disclosed a **$1,000,000** receipt from [[Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund]]. **Both committees list the same treasurer**, and the contributing committee's address sits four doors from a third committee the vault was already watching. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Recipient | **WHO STANDS FOR US**, FEC committee **C00958512**, super PAC, first filed **2026-08-11** | | Recipient address | 4250 N Fairfax Dr, PMB 17503942, Arlington, VA 22203 | | Contributor | **EIGHTEEN FIFTY-FOUR FUND**, FEC committee **C00809483**, super PAC, first filed **2022-03-17** | | Contributor address | **1305 W 11th St #213, Houston, TX 77008** | | Amount | **$1,000,000.00** | | Receipt date on the filing | **2026-08-20** | | Schedule / line | **SA11C** — Line 11(c), a contribution from another political committee | | Running aggregate on the row | **$1,000,000.00** — equal to the row amount, plausibly new money | | Carried on | Form 3X quarterly report, file **2017177**, coverage **2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30**, received 2026-10-05 | | Schedule E lines in that filing | **none.** The committee reports no independent expenditures | | Treasurer signing | **Les Williamson** | ## Why it clears §7 An individual contribution of $1,000,000 or more. By line number, this is a **Line 11(c) committee-to-committee contribution**, not a Line 17 other receipt, and not a donation from a natural person. ## The treasurer, and the building > [!important] The same person signs for both ends of the transfer > **Les Williamson is the treasurer of record for both committees**, confirmed from the FEC committee > index: Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund (C00809483, TX) `treasurer=WILLIAMSON, LES`; Who Stands For Us > (C00958512, VA) `treasurer=WILLIAMSON, LES`. A million dollars moved between two super PACs whose > paperwork is signed by one person. > > He is also the treasurer of **[[Stronger Maine]]** (C00922294), which the vault recorded on 2026-10-05 > as filing from **1305 W 11th St #217, Houston, Texas 77008** — the **same Houston building** as > Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund's **#213**, two suite numbers apart. **This answers an open question and does not answer a bigger one.** The Stronger Maine page asked "whether the Houston address belongs to a compliance firm and which other committees use it." It does, and Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund is one of them. What it does not establish is a common funder. > [!warning] A shared treasurer is a vendor relationship, not a money trail > The standing caution on [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] applies at full strength. One treasurer > signing for three committees means three clients hired one practice, or one client opened three > committees, and no filing distinguishes those. The vault retracted a "Gantt/Beverly network" reading in > September for exactly this reason. > > What *is* different here, and is the reason this is a Deal rather than a note: the shared treasurer is > not merely administering two unrelated committees. **Money went from one to the other.** That is a > disclosed transaction between them, not an inference from a letterhead. ## What the name suggests, and what the filing says **1854** is the founding year of the Republican Party, and the committee has existed since **March 2022**. Neither fact is in a filing as a statement of alignment, and this page does not assign one. Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund reported no Schedule E activity on this receipt date, so there is nothing yet to read its politics from. See the watch triggers below. ## Open questions - **Who funded Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund?** Its own receipts have not been reviewed for this entry. A super PAC active since 2022 has a filing history that would answer this. - **What does Who Stands For Us intend to spend on?** It holds a disclosed $1,000,000, has filed since August 2026, and has reported **zero** independent expenditures. - **Which other committees file from 1305 W 11th St, Houston?** Two suites are now known, #213 and #217. ## See Also - [[Who Stands For Us]] · [[Eighteen Fifty-Four Fund]] · [[Les Williamson]] · [[Stronger Maine]] - [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] · [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] - [[Deals Hub]] · [[2026 Midterms Hub]]
