See [[United Futures PAC 6.25M to People Over Politics Action Fund]]. Two committees, one treasurer, both disclosing seven-figure single-source money on the same day. **The grantor has no FEC identity.** Responsive Government Action files nothing with the FEC and discloses no donors of its own. The Chicago suite address is where the trail ends on this record. **A small-dollar committee with $1.86 million in the bank, three weeks out.** Back the Bold closed September holding **$1,858,100.38** against $411,288.67 of monthly spending and $68,613.96 of independent expenditure. It has the money and has not yet deployed it. ## Open questions - **What Responsive Government Action is** — needs corporate or tax records this task cannot reach. - How many committees **Christopher Koob** signs. Two are now known. - Whether the **$1,858,100.38** is spent before 2026-11-03, and in which races. - Whether the 1440 W Taylor St Ste 950 Chicago address appears on any other filing. ## See Also - [[Back the Bold]] · [[Responsive Government Action]] · [[United Futures PAC]] - [[United Futures PAC 6.25M to People Over Politics Action Fund]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[Soft Money]] · [[Super PACs]] - [[Deals Hub]]
