# Government That Works PAC 19.2M Funder Disclosure September 2026 **[[Government That Works PAC]]** (FEC **C00915595**) has appeared on this site three times as a *payer* — into [[Nebraska Values PAC]], [[Lone Star Rising PAC]] and [[VoteVets]] — while disclosing nothing about its own funding. Its first Form 3X of the cycle, **file 2031985**, coverage 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-30, received 2026-10-20, answers that question. ## The payers | Payer | Amount | Date(s) | Line | |---|---|---|---| | **[[Sixteen Thirty Fund]]** | **$9,000,000.00** | 2026-09-24 ($4,000,000.00), 2026-09-28 ($5,000,000.00) | `SA17` | | **[[Responsive Government Action]]** | $3,500,000.00 | 2026-09-23 | `SA17` | | **[[AB PAC]]** | $3,500,000.00 | 2026-09-10 ($2,500,000.00), 2026-09-24 ($1,000,000.00) | `SA17` | | Americans Against Government Censorship | $1,150,000.00 | 2026-09-24 | `SA17` | | Democracy PAC | $1,000,000.00 | 2026-09-25 | `SA17` | | **[[Green Advocacy Project]]** | $1,000,000.00 | 2026-09-24 | `SA17` | | **total at the $1 million line** | **$19,150,000.00** | | | ### The committee's month, reconciled | Line | Figure | |---|---| | Cash on hand, 2026-09-01 | $5,914,094.32 | | Total receipts | **$20,753,225.96** | | Total disbursements | $17,808,446.68 | | Cash on hand, 2026-09-30 | $8,858,873.60 | **Six payers are 92.28% of the month.** Everything else the committee took in September — contributions below the $1 million line, from any number of sources — comes to roughly $1.6 million. ## Why it matters **It closes the open question on this committee.** The committee's own page has carried the note that it "has sent $10.75 million to three different 2026 political committees while never accounting for where its own money comes from." It now accounts for it: almost all of it is six social-welfare funds and pooled political vehicles, none of which is itself a conventional donor. **Sixteen Thirty Fund is the single largest source.** At $9 million it is 43.4% of the month on its own. [[Sixteen Thirty Fund]] is the principal 501(c)(4) in the [[Arabella Advisors]] network — the structure this site documents as the Democratic side's largest donor-advised political funding apparatus. Its money arriving here means the committee is a node in that network rather than an independent operation. **The structure is a relay, not a destination.** Money arrives from funds that do not disclose their own donors, and leaves as contributions to *other* committees, which then buy advertising. Each hop is legal and each hop is reported; the effect of three hops is that the advertising's funder is two disclosure regimes away from the advertisement. **It also explains an October payment.** The same committee sent **$3,500,000.00** to [[VoteVets]] on 2026-10-01, disclosed on VoteVets' own report (file 2032459) — on top of the $3,000,000.00 it sent in September. Its total into VoteVets is now **$6,500,000.00**. ## Open questions - **Americans Against Government Censorship** (1802 Vernon St NW, Washington DC) and **Democracy PAC** (1032 15th St NW Ste 247, Washington DC), neither of which has a page here. Democracy PAC's address is the same suite as [[Opportunity Action Fund]], [[CFFE PAC]] and [[BlackPAC]] — see [[Opportunity Action Fund 11.8M Dark Money Grants September 2026]]. - The payees behind the committee's $17.8 million of September disbursement. - Whether a fourth recipient committee appears before election day. ## See Also - [[Government That Works PAC]] · [[Sixteen Thirty Fund]] · [[Arabella Advisors]] - [[Responsive Government Action]] · [[AB PAC]] · [[Green Advocacy Project]] - [[VoteVets]] · [[Nebraska Values PAC]] · [[Lone Star Rising PAC]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[501(c)(4)]] · [[Hybrid PAC]] · [[Super PACs]] - [[Donor Network Hub]] · [[Deals Hub]] · [[2026 Midterms Hub]]
