# PO Box 15845 DC Three Committee Cluster October 2026
**Three federal political committees file from PO Box 15845, Washington DC 20003.** The third of them,
**[[New Path PAC]]** (C00963470), registered on **2026-10-13** — Form 1 file **2020337**, received
**2026-10-13T10:31:55** — which is the same e-file receipt date on which the first of them was revealed
as the source of **$6,250,000.00** behind the advertising against a sitting Republican senator.
New PAC and super-PAC formations are **always in scope** during the §7.2 midterm window. This Deal
records the formation and the reason it matters, which is the mailbox rather than the registration.
## The cluster
| Committee | FEC ID | Registered | Treasurer | Disclosed outbound |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **[[United Futures PAC]]** | C00960385 | **2026-08-31** | **Christopher Koob** | **$6,250,000.00** to [[People Over Politics Action Fund]] · $126,291.67 of its own independent expenditure in [[KS-Sen-2026]] |
| **[[Lower Costs Now]]** | C00961276 | 2026-09 (first filing read: 2026-10-10) | **Steven Mele** | **$1,126,344.00** supporting [[Josh Turek]] in [[IA-Sen-2026]], plus $658,401.89 on receipt date 2026-10-10 |
| **[[New Path PAC]]** | C00963470 | **2026-10-13** | **Jeremy Begun** | **none reported** |
**Three committees, three different treasurers, one mailbox.** All three were registered inside the same
six weeks, all three in the final quarter before a midterm election.
## Why it matters
**The mailbox connects the outside-money programmes in two separate Senate races this vault tracks as
unrelated.** [[KS-Sen-2026]] and [[IA-Sen-2026]] have been logged independently all autumn. The committee
that funded the Kansas programme against [[Roger Marshall]] and the committee that is buying for
[[Josh Turek]] in Iowa share an address of record.
**The money is substantial on both sides and undisclosed on both sides.**
- [[United Futures PAC]] moved **$6,250,000.00** into a Leawood, Kansas committee — **93.69%** of
everything that committee has ever received. See
[[United Futures PAC 6.25M to People Over Politics Action Fund]].
- [[Lower Costs Now]] put **$1,126,344.00** into one Schedule E line for [[Josh Turek]] through
Waterfront Strategies, on a row carrying an aggregate of **$4,503,062.91** — indicating roughly $3.4
million of earlier Iowa spending not yet read from a filed document.
- **Neither committee has disclosed a single one of its own donors.** Both have Q3 Form 3X reports due
**2026-10-15**.
**The two-layer pattern is the point, and it is now a three-layer pattern.** The committee that buys the
advertising is a state-named vehicle with a local treasurer. The committee that funds it is a DC post-office
box. And a third committee at that box registered the same day the second layer became visible, with
nothing disclosed and 21 days to spend.
> [!warning] What this Deal does NOT claim
> A shared post-office box is **evidence of a shared compliance arrangement, not proof of common
> control.** Mailbox services and compliance shops host many unrelated clients, the three committees have
> three different treasurers of record, and the two that spend are buying on **opposite sides** of the
> partisan line in their respective races. **Nothing here establishes a single funder or a single
> operator.** What it establishes is that three committees moving a disclosed $7.38 million into two
> competitive Senate races in the last quarter before the election give the same address, and that none
> of the three has yet named a donor. The 2026-10-15 reports are the test.
## Open questions
- **Who funds [[United Futures PAC]] and [[Lower Costs Now]].** Both Q3 Form 3X reports are due
**2026-10-15** and are the only route on the public record.
- Whether the three share a **compliance vendor**. New Path PAC's Form 1 contact is `
[email protected]`;
the other two Form 1s have not been read for their contact fields.
- Whether **any further committee** files from PO Box 15845, Washington DC 20003.
- Whether [[New Path PAC]] discloses any receipt or expenditure before 2026-11-03.
- The ~$3.4 million of [[Lower Costs Now]] spending implied by its aggregate column.
