# Securing American Greatness 1M to NC FIRST PAC **Securing American Greatness, Inc.** gave **$1,000,000.00** to **[[NC FIRST PAC]]** on **October 14, 2026**. The contribution became public five days later, on the committee's September–October monthly report filed **October 19** — fifteen days before the election. It is **100.00%** of everything the committee reported taking in, and the payer files nothing with the Federal Election Commission. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Payer | **Securing American Greatness, Inc.**, 100 Cummings Center Ste 306P, **Beverly MA 01915** | | Payer FEC committee ID | **None.** It is not a registered political committee and discloses no donors of its own | | Recipient | **[[NC FIRST PAC]]**, FEC **C00955575** — a super PAC, independent-expenditure only, first filed **2026-07-07** | | Recipient address | 824 S Milledge Ave Ste 101, **Athens GA 30605** | | Recipient treasurer | **[[Paul Kilgore]]** | | Amount | **$1,000,000.00** | | Date of receipt | **2026-10-14** | | FEC line | **11(a)(i)** — itemised contribution, entity type `ORG` | | Disclosed on | Form 3X (`F3XN`), file **2030845**, received **2026-10-19** | | Running aggregate on the row | $1,000,000.00 — the first on this pairing | The row is an original first-time disclosure: it is not an amendment, not a memo entry, and its aggregate equals the row, so no earlier report carried it. ## The committee it went into has barely spent anything | Item | Amount | |---|---| | Cash at the start of the period | $311,163.54 | | Receipts | **$1,000,000.00** | | Disbursements | **$17,960.00** | | Cash at the close | **$1,293,203.54** | A super PAC named for North Carolina, administered from Georgia, is sitting on **$1.29 million** with three weeks to go and has reported **no independent expenditure at all**. Whatever it is for has not happened yet. ## Why it matters **It is the seventh committee on this site with the same treasurer, and the first with money from a funder that cannot be read.** [[Paul Kilgore]] signs for at least six other federal committees filing from the same Athens compliance practice. Five of those are 2026-vintage pop-ups with little or no disclosed money. This one has a million dollars and an unregistered corporate donor. **It is the state-branded template again.** A committee named for one state, run from another, with a generic patriotic funder name behind it, is a form this site has recorded repeatedly in this cycle — see [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]]. **The payer is the part that cannot be followed.** A corporation that is not an FEC filer owes the election commission nothing: no donor list, no officers, no receipts. Its name, a mailbox suite in a Massachusetts office park, and the amount are the whole federal record. Establishing who is behind it needs corporate and tax filings in Massachusetts, which is outside what the federal campaign-finance record can answer. > [!warning] A shared treasurer is a vendor relationship > Seven committees sharing a treasurer share a compliance firm. That is not evidence that they share a > funder, a strategy or a principal, and nothing here asserts that it is. The treasurer field is simply > the most durable identifier on an FEC form, which makes it useful for finding committees and close to > useless for proving alliance. ## Open questions - Who or what Securing American Greatness, Inc. is. Its corporate form, officers and funders are all off the federal record. - What the $1.29 million is for, and in which race. [[NC-Sen-2026]] is the obvious candidate given the name, but nothing on the filing says so. - Whether the payer appears on a second committee's reports. ## Sources - FEC Form 3X, file **2030845** — `https://docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2030845.fec` - [NC FIRST PAC committee overview — FEC.gov](https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00955575/) ## See also - [[NC FIRST PAC]] · [[Securing American Greatness]] · [[Paul Kilgore]] · [[PDS Compliance]] - [[NC-Sen-2026]] · [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Deals Hub]]
