# Government That Works PAC 4M to Nebraska Values PAC **[[Nebraska Values PAC]]**, FEC committee **C00956292**, disclosed **$4,000,000.00** from **[[Government That Works PAC]]** (FEC **C00915595**) on its **Q3 2026 Form 3X** — file **2021771**, `F3XN`, received **2026-10-14**. 🔴 **This is the first disclosure of who funds the anti-[[Pete Ricketts]] programme in [[NE-Sen-2026]].** The vault has carried "who funds it, and whether it is Osborn-aligned or an independent anti-Ricketts vehicle" as an open question on [[Nebraska Values PAC]] since 2026-10-01. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Transferor | **Government That Works PAC**, FEC **C00915595**, 611 Pennsylvania Ave SE Ste 143, Washington DC 20003 | | Recipient | **Nebraska Values PAC**, FEC **C00956292**, 663 N 132nd St PMB 7385, Omaha NE — treasurer **Thomas Cook** | | Amount | **$4,000,000.00** across **two** rows | | FEC line | **SA11C** — Line 11(c), contributions from other political committees. Entity type `COM` | | Disclosed | **Form 3X (`F3XN`)**, Q3 2026, file **2021771**, received **2026-10-14** | | Amendment / memo status | **original** form code, **no** memo flag — live money, not an amendment or a restatement | | Row | Receipt date | Amount | Running aggregate | |---|---|---|---| | SA11C | **2026-09-15** | $1,500,000.00 | $1,900,000.00 | | SA11C | **2026-09-23** | $2,500,000.00 | $4,400,000.00 | The $4,400,000.00 aggregate is **not** published as a committee total, because that column's meaning varies by filer. It does, however, imply a further **$400,000.00** from this transferor before 2026-09-15 that a search limited to $1,000,000.00-plus rows would not see. ## What the committee did with it The same report carries **11 Schedule E rows worth $3,420,325.00**, and a line-by-line comparison against earlier filings finds **100.00% of them restate five earlier Form 24 notices** — files 2015924, 2015543, 2014768, 2012085 and 2011645. **So there is no new spending on this document**; the receipts are the news. The spending the vault had already recorded from those notices was **anti-[[Pete Ricketts]]**, placed through Sage Media Planning & Placement and PAC Services LLC. ## Why it matters - **A state-branded committee's money is a Washington DC transfer.** [[Nebraska Values PAC]] carries a Nebraska name and an Omaha commercial mailbox; **$4,000,000.00 of its money came from a Capitol Hill mailbox suite** and $1,000,000.00 more from a Palo Alto address — see [[Green Advocacy Project 1M to Nebraska Values PAC]]. **None of the disclosed money is Nebraskan.** - **It is still one step from the source.** Unlike the other funder on this document, the transferor **is** an FEC committee, so its own reports exist and can be read. That makes this the cheapest remaining route to the ultimate payer in a Likely R race that an independent is contesting. - **It does not settle the alignment question.** Money moving against a Republican incumbent is consistent with both an [[Dan Osborn]]-aligned operation and an independent anti-[[Pete Ricketts]] one. The documents read here do not distinguish them, and this page does not guess. ## Open questions - **Government That Works PAC's own receipts** — one `cmte` call plus its Q3 report. - The $400,000.00 implied before 2026-09-15. - Whether the transferor funds committees in other races. ## Sources - FEC Form 3X, Q3 2026, file **2021771** — `https://docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2021771.fec` ## See Also - [[Nebraska Values PAC]] · [[Government That Works PAC]] · [[Green Advocacy Project 1M to Nebraska Values PAC]] - [[NE-Sen-2026]] · [[Pete Ricketts]] · [[Dan Osborn]] - [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] · [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] · [[Deals Hub]]
