# Ohio Flyer PAC 2.6M Funder Disclosure October 2026 [[Ohio Flyer PAC]] (FEC **C00912865**) is the committee spending against [[Sherrod Brown]] in [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] from a **Post Office box in Alexandria, Virginia** — not Ohio. Until its pre-general report landed, **nothing on the public record named who was paying for it**, and this wiki carried that as an open question. The report named the funder. **A single donor supplied $2,600,000.00 of a $2,755,393.93 reporting period — 94.4% of everything the committee took in.** | Date | Amount | Running aggregate | Schedule | |---|---|---|---| | 2026-10-08 | **$1,000,000.00** | $1,000,000.00 | `SA11AI` | | 2026-10-13 | **$1,600,000.00** | $2,600,000.00 | `SA11AI` | Everything else in the period is small: $25,000.00 from Energy Transfer LP, $20,000.00 from Allegis Redwood Maxim Public Affairs LLC, $58,400.67 transferred from TEAM HUSTED, and $20,000.00 across three individuals. ## 🔴 The amendment changed the donor's name and nothing else that matters The committee filed its pre-general report twice: | | Original | Amendment | |---|---|---| | File | **2037180** (`F3XN`) | **2043264** (`F3XA`) | | Received | 2026-10-22T13:58:19 | 2026-10-29T11:35:38 | | Coverage | 2026-10-01 – 2026-10-14 | 2026-10-01 – 2026-10-14 | | Donor of the $2.6M | **American Prosperity Alliance** | **American Prosperity Caucus** | | Amounts, dates, aggregates | $1,000,000.00 / $1,600,000.00 | identical, to the cent | | Every other Schedule A row | — | identical | **"Alliance" became "Caucus."** The two filings are otherwise the same document: same amounts, same dates, same running aggregates, same address (650 Ponce De Leon Ave, Atlanta GA), same other donors, same summary totals. ⚠️ **What this is and is not.** It is a documented change to the identity of a $2.6 million donor, made by amendment seven days after the original filing. It is **not** evidence of intent, and amended filings correct clerical errors routinely — a donor's legal name is exactly the sort of field that gets corrected. The wiki records what the two documents say and draws no inference about why. **Why it is worth recording at all** is that [[American Prosperity Alliance]] is not an anonymous name. It is the entity at the top of a documented chain that funded a network of sham "progressive" super PACs in Democratic primaries this cycle, reported by Judd Legum at *Popular Information* in June 2026. An amendment moving $2.6 million off that name and onto a near-identical one is a change in the public record about a known entity, whichever way it happened. **No reporting on an entity named "American Prosperity Caucus" has been located**, and the name does not appear in the FEC's committee master — which is expected, since the filing reports it as an organization (`ORG`) rather than a political committee, the shape of a 501(c)(4). See [[American Prosperity Caucus]]. ## Why it is easy to miss The money itself is not news twice. It reached the public record on **2026-10-22** with the original report, and the amendment of **2026-10-29** restates the same two grants to the cent. Anyone tracking new money through the filings sees nothing on the second date — no new dollars arrived, and none moved. 🔴 **What changed was not a dollar. It was the name of the person paying.** That is the kind of amendment that slips past unnoticed, because every check that asks "is this new money?" correctly answers no. ## What to watch - **Who American Prosperity Caucus is.** An address in Atlanta and an `ORG` entity type is the whole of the public record. - **Whether a second amendment changes the name again**, or restores it. - **Whether the same donor name appears on another committee's Schedule A.** A $2.6 million funder of one state-branded committee is likely not funding only one. - **The post-general report**, which will cover the closing fortnight this one does not. ## Verification Both documents read from the raw filed record and compared row by row on Schedule A. Amounts are unflagged by the memo index (field 42) in both. The $2,600,000.00 is the sum of two `SA11AI` rows whose own running aggregate column closes at $2,600,000.00, so the two grants are the donor's first and only giving to this committee in the cycle to date. The summary line arithmetic on the amendment checks: period receipts $2,755,393.93 plus beginning cash $1,293,298.07 less disbursements $1,187,641.72 equals the reported closing cash of $2,861,050.28. ## See Also - [[Ohio Flyer PAC]] · [[American Prosperity Caucus]] · [[American Prosperity Alliance]] - [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] · [[Sherrod Brown]] · [[Jon Husted]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Donor Network Hub]]
