# SLF 342M Senate IE Reservation Program On April 6, 2026, the [[Senate Leadership Fund]] announced its largest single-cycle IE reservation in history: $342M across 8 key 2026 Senate races. Per §7.4 strict reading the program would split into 8 per-race Deal files (each above the $10M IE threshold), but it is captured here as one aggregate program-level entry for cleaner navigation, with the per-race breakdown below. | Race | Reservation | | --- | --- | | Ohio (vs. [[Sherrod Brown]]) | $79M | | North Carolina | $71M | | Michigan | $45M | | Georgia | $44M | | Maine ([[Susan Collins]]) | $42M | | Iowa (open seat) | $29M | | Alaska ([[Dan Sullivan]] reelection) | $15M | | New Hampshire | remainder of $342M | ## Significance Biggest single-cycle SLF investment announcement on record. Funded substantially by [[Adelson 30M to Senate Leadership Fund]], [[Schwarzman 5M to Senate Leadership Fund]], [[Singer 3.75M to Senate Leadership Fund]], and the broader donor base. Three flips are the strategic prize (Michigan, Georgia, New Hampshire); five seats are defensive holds (Ohio, NC, Maine, Iowa, Alaska). ## Texas is not in this program — added 2026-09-21 ⭐ **The eight races above do not include Texas.** In September 2026 SLF entered [[TX-Sen-2026]] through a separate committee, [[Texas PAC]], which had disclosed **$63,809,077.89** of independent expenditures by September 19 — including the two largest single independent expenditures of the cycle. That spending is **additive to the $342M**, expanding the program by roughly fifteen percent into a state Republicans have carried statewide for more than thirty years, and it went to a nominee Senate leadership spent the primary trying to defeat. See [[Texas PAC 53.9M Texas Senate IE]]. ⚠️ Because the Texas money moved through a **new, separately administered, quarterly-filing committee** rather than through SLF itself, it is not established that it is SLF money in the accounting sense. The first receipts disclosure is **October 15, 2026**. ## See Also - [[Senate Leadership Fund]] - [[Adelson 30M to Senate Leadership Fund]] - [[Schwarzman 5M to Senate Leadership Fund]] - [[Singer 3.75M to Senate Leadership Fund]] - [[Texas PAC]] · [[Texas PAC 53.9M Texas Senate IE]] · [[TX-Sen-2026]]
