# Fairshake 44.5M to Defend American Jobs October 2026 [[Defend American Jobs]] — FEC committee **C00836221**, the Republican-facing arm of the crypto industry's [[Fairshake PAC]] network — disclosed **$44,500,000.00** of transfers from [[Fairshake PAC]] on its **pre-general report**, Form 3X, file **2039036**, e-file receipt date **2026-10-22**. ## Terms | Transfer date | Amount | Line | Running aggregate on the filing | |---|---|---|---| | **2026-10-01** | $15,000,000.00 | `SA12` | $75,500,000.00 | | **2026-10-08** | $15,000,000.00 | `SA12` | $90,500,000.00 | | **2026-10-14** | $14,500,000.00 | `SA12` | $105,000,000.00 | | **Total this report** | **$44,500,000.00** | | | | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Payer | [[Fairshake PAC]] | | Recipient | [[Defend American Jobs]], FEC committee **C00836221** | | Line | `SA12` — **transfer from an affiliated committee**, not a contribution line | | Disclosed | Form 3X pre-general report, file **2039036**, e-file receipt date **2026-10-22** | | Cycle aggregate at close | **$105,000,000.00** | The running aggregate is internally consistent across the three rows: $75.5M → $90.5M → $105.0M, each step equal to the row above it. ## Why it matters A transfer between two committees that both file with the FEC is ordinarily unremarkable — both ends are already on the public record. What makes this one worth a page is its scale and its position in the chain: **$105,000,000.00 moved into a single spending vehicle in one cycle**, and [[Fairshake PAC]] is itself a pooled industry fund whose own contributors are companies rather than individuals. The transfer is the moment industry money becomes advertising in named races. ## What this funded [[Defend American Jobs]] is the committee this task flagged on 2026-10-21 for breaking out of Ohio into Nebraska, and whose $13.2 million and $11 million October notices are already on record. The $105,000,000.00 aggregate is the budget behind those notices. ## Sources - FEC Form 3X pre-general report, file **2039036** — https://docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2039036.fec
