# SLF 22.5M Senate IE October 2026 On **October 2, 2026**, **SLF PAC** — the [[Senate Leadership Fund]]'s super PAC, FEC committee **C00571703** — disclosed **$22,530,483.71** across **17 Schedule E lines** in **six Senate races**, every line dated **September 30, 2026**. **Every dollar of it is negative.** There is no support line on this filing at all. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Spender | **SLF PAC**, FEC committee **C00571703**, 6218 Georgia Avenue NW Ste 1-595, Washington DC | | Disclosed | FEC **48-hour** notice (**Form 24, F24N, file 2016506**), received **2026-10-02**, treasurer **Caleb Crosby** | | Expenditure date | **2026-09-30** (all 17 lines) | | Election code | **G2026** | | Direction | **$22,530,483.71 oppose (100.00%)** · **$0.00 support** | | Primary vendor | **Flexpoint Media** — $14,152,043.20, or **62.8%** of the notice | | Other vendors | [[MHB Media Inc]] $3,119,925.60 · Gen2 Solutions LLC $2,250,000.00 · Majority Strategies LLC $2,175,000.00 · Alamo Intelligence LLC $625,000.00 · KAP Print LLC $161,634.45 · FCG Media Strategies LLC $46,880.46 | | Memo-flagged rows | **None** | | Amendment status | Original, **F24N** | ## The buy, by race | Race | Target | Direction | Amount | Lines | |---|---|---|---|---| | [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] | [[Sherrod Brown]] | oppose | **$9,967,064.46** | 3 | | [[IA-Sen-2026]] | [[Josh Turek]] | oppose | $4,794,569.23 | 4 | | [[ME-Sen-2026]] | [[Troy Jackson]] | oppose | $3,749,015.18 | 3 | | [[AK-Sen-2026]] | [[Mary Peltola]] | oppose | $1,531,158.00 | 3 | | [[NH-Sen-2026]] | [[Chris Pappas]] | oppose | $1,474,765.07 | 2 | | [[MI-Sen-2026]] | [[Abdul El-Sayed]] | oppose | $1,013,911.77 | 2 | **Ohio is 44% of the notice.** The six race figures sum to $22,530,483.71 and the seven vendor figures sum to $22,530,483.71 — the document reconciles to the cent on both axes. ## Why it matters **This is the second $20M-plus SLF notice in nine days, and the negative share went to 100%.** The September 23 filing recorded at [[SLF 23.6M Senate IE September 2026]] was 99.87% negative, with a single $30,000 support line for Ashley Moody in the Florida special. This one has none. Nine days later the committee is spending at the same rate and has stopped buying positive advertising entirely. **The race map narrowed.** The September notice covered eight races; this one covers six. North Carolina and the Florida special are both absent, and the six that remain — OH, IA, ME, AK, NH, MI — are the Toss Up core of [[SLF 342M Senate IE Reservation Program]]. **Ohio is now the most expensive seat on the board for this committee.** $9.97M here on top of $10.03M on September 23 is **$19,998,207.04** against [[Sherrod Brown]] from SLF alone across two notices nine days apart. On this same receipt date, Defend the Vote placed **$7,055,990.46** against [[Jon Husted]] from the other direction — see [[Defend the Vote]]. Ohio absorbed **$17,023,054.92** of a $52.4M tranche. > [!important] The vendor stack now runs through two brand-new state-branded committees > Four of this notice's seven vendors — **Flexpoint Media**, **MHB Media, Inc**, **Alamo Intelligence LLC** > and **FCG Media Strategies LLC** — also appear on Form 24 notices filed the **same day** by two > committees that did not exist two months ago: [[Cornhusker Majority]] ($1,804,841.44 against > [[Dan Osborn]] in Nebraska, files 2016519) and [[The Maine Standard]] ($1,442,664.96 against > [[Troy Jackson]] in Maine, file 2016518). Both of those committees share a single treasurer, > **Trevor Kowalski** — see [[Trevor Kowalski]] — and both buy through SLF's own media buyers. In Maine the > two vehicles hit the same candidate on the same expenditure date: $3,749,015.18 from SLF PAC and > $1,442,664.96 from The Maine Standard, **$5,191,680.14** against [[Troy Jackson]] in one day. > Nothing in the filings establishes coordination. The structure is what the law produces — see > [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]]. > [!note] Where the money comes from > SLF PAC's largest single source this cycle is **[[One Nation]]**, its 501(c)(4) twin, which has moved > **$70,740,000** into it — see [[One Nation 70.7M to Senate Leadership Fund]]. One Nation discloses no > donors. > [!warning] Aggregates on this filing > Aggregates on these rows reach **$41,673,108.74** (Ohio), **$27,088,595.50** (Michigan) and > **$23,439,876.64** (Iowa).
