File **2018482**, an original (`F24N`) received at **16:43:18**. It is the **second-largest notice in the 2026-10-08 tranche** and the committee's third notice above $19M in the cycle. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Spender | **WINSENATE**, FEC committee **C00865444** | | Document | file **2018482**, form **F24N** (original), received **2026-10-08T16:43:18** | | Schedule E lines | **15**, all Senate | | Races | **six** — IA, ME, MI, NH, AK, OH | | Expenditure date | **2026-10-06**, every line | | Support | **$2,548,776.00** across 3 lines | | Oppose | **$16,630,466.35** across 12 lines — **86.71%** of the notice | | Election code | `G2026` | **Derived total: $2,548,776.00 + $16,630,466.35 = $19,179,242.35.** Arithmetic checked against the filed document. The aggregate column on these rows is recorded as what the document says and is **not used as a race or committee total**. ## Positions | Race | Direction | Candidate | Amount | Lines | |---|---|---|---|---| | [[IA-Sen-2026]] | oppose | [[Ashley Hinson]] | **$5,706,524.68** | 3 | | [[ME-Sen-2026]] | oppose | [[Susan Collins]] | **$4,663,236.58** | 3 | | [[MI-Sen-2026]] | oppose | [[Mike Rogers]] | **$3,677,385.52** | 1 | | [[MI-Sen-2026]] | **support** | [[Abdul El-Sayed]] | $2,123,776.00 | 2 | | [[NH-Sen-2026]] | oppose | [[John E. Sununu]] | $2,021,406.89 | 2 | | [[AK-Sen-2026]] | oppose | [[Dan Sullivan]] | $560,912.68 | 2 | | [[NH-Sen-2026]] | **support** | [[Chris Pappas]] | $425,000.00 | 1 | | [[OH-Sen-2026-Special]] | oppose | [[Jon Husted]] | $1,000.00 | 1 | ## Vendors | Payee | Amount | |---|---| | **[[Waterfront Strategies]]** | **$13,290,016.92** | | AL Media LLC | $2,553,026.00 | | Trilogy Interactive LLC | $2,450,000.00 | | MVAR Media, LLC | $873,449.43 | | Social Currant | $8,000.00 | | Activate HQ | $3,750.00 | | **[[C Plus K LLC]]** | **$1,000.00** | [[Waterfront Strategies]] carries **69.29%** of the notice — the same concentration the committee showed on [[WinSenate 23.7M Senate Map IE October 2026]] and [[WinSenate 21.2M Senate Map IE September 2026]]. 🔴 **The $1,000.00 line is the interesting one.** It is the notice's only Ohio position, it is the only line paid to **[[C Plus K LLC]]**, and it is coded **oppose [[Jon Husted]]**. [[C Plus K LLC]] has been carried on this site's watchlist since 2026-10-03 as a compliance and research vendor appearing across multiple committees; this is its first recorded appearance on a **Democratic-side** independent expenditure. A $1,000 line in a $19.2M notice is not a media buy — it is the accounting trace of something else, and the vendor is the identifying detail. ## Why it matters - **Iowa has become the Democratic side's most expensive target.** $5,706,524.68 against [[Ashley Hinson]] in one notice, on top of VoteVets' $2,857,233.56 against her in the same tranche — **$8,563,758.24 of anti-Hinson money disclosed on a single e-file receipt date**, in a seat the vault has been tracking since the Trump, Thune and Reynolds endorsements consolidated the Republican field. Across the whole tranche [[IA-Sen-2026]] took **$9,079,883.56**, of which **$8,913,292.44 (98.17%) is negative**. - **Maine is being run as a negative race on both sides.** WinSenate put $4,663,236.58 against [[Susan Collins]]; in the same tranche [[Senate Leadership Fund]]'s SLF PAC put $159,204.47 against [[Troy Jackson]], [[Defending Main Street Super PAC]] put $946,500.00 against him, and [[Stronger Maine]] put $104,085.00 against him. **[[ME-Sen-2026]] took $6,223,213.45 across 18 lines on this receipt date, of which $5,957,682.67 — 95.73% — is negative.** - **Michigan is the only race in the notice bought on both sides by the same filer** — $3,677,385.52 against [[Mike Rogers]] and $2,123,776.00 for [[Abdul El-Sayed]], through two different vendors (Waterfront Strategies and AL Media LLC), which distinguishes it from the mirrored single-invoice pattern on [[No Going Back PAC 23.3M Multi-Race IE October 2026]]. ## Verification Every figure traces to file **2018482** at `docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2018482.fec`, read as a raw filed document. Original `F24N`, no amendment indicator, no memo-coded rows, not a periodic report. 🔴 The 2026-10-08 figures are a **first read** of that receipt date; file 2018482's own total was **identical to the cent on two separate queries**. No secondary press source for this notice existed at the time of writing. ## Related - [[WinSenate]] · [[Waterfront Strategies]] · [[C Plus K LLC]] - [[WinSenate 23.7M Senate Map IE October 2026]] · [[WinSenate 21.2M Senate Map IE September 2026]] - [[No Going Back PAC 23.3M Multi-Race IE October 2026]] — the Republican-side notice in the same tranche - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]]
