# AI Accountability Super PAC An independent-expenditure-only committee that registered with the FEC on **2026-09-14** and has done nothing since. It is on this page because new super-PAC formations are in scope for the whole 2026-09-04 → 2026-11-04 midterm money window, and because its name stakes a claim in a fight the vault already tracks — not because it has moved any money. **It has not.** > [!warning] Four facts, and that is the entire page > Everything below comes from a single Form 1. There is **no** press coverage, **no** disclosed funder, > **no** stated program, **no** named race and **no** money. The name is suggestive and the name is not > evidence. Resist inferring a position, a backer or a target from it. ## What is actually on file | Item | Detail | |---|---| | FEC ID | **C00961557** | | Type | Super PAC (independent-expenditure-only), unauthorized | | Registered | **2026-09-14** (Form 1, file 2011881, amendment indicator N) | | Treasurer and custodian of records | **John Fernandez** | | Address | 400 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814 | | Filing frequency | Quarterly — first receipts disclosure would be due **October 15, 2026** | | Party affiliation on file | None, as is standard for an IE-only committee | | Receipts disclosed | **$0** | | Disbursements disclosed | **$0** | | Schedule E line items | **0** | | Total filings to date | **1** — the Form 1 itself | Re-verified against OpenFEC on **2026-09-22**: the committee's filing history is still exactly one document, its Schedule E count is still zero, and `/committee/C00961557/totals/` returns no rows at all. **Eight days, no second filing.** > [!note] What the address does and does not tell you > 400 Capitol Mall is a large downtown Sacramento office tower directly across from the California > State Capitol. A Sacramento address rather than a Washington, Delaware or Nevada one is *consistent* > with a California-legislative or California-delegation orientation. It is not proof of one, and the > vault should not write that it is. ## Why the vault is tracking a committee with no money Because of where the name points. The 2026 AI-policy money map already has two sides in it: | Vehicle | Type | Position | Disclosed | |---|---|---|---| | [[Leading the Future]] | Super PAC | Pro-preemption; blocking state AI law | $125M+ raised | | [[Alliance for a Better Future]] | EC filer | Anti-preemption; child safety, labor, federalism | $3.83M spent | | **AI Accountability Super PAC** | Super PAC | **Unknown** | **$0** | | [[Fairshake PAC]] | Super PAC | Crypto template both sides are copying | — | An "accountability"-named committee most naturally reads as a counterweight to [[Leading the Future]]. But [[Alliance for a Better Future]] already occupies that ground, with money and a coalition, and the two are unconnected (below). A third entrant could be a Democratic-side vehicle, a single-donor project, or a name reserved and never used. **All three remain live possibilities.** ### It is not connected to Alliance for a Better Future The 2026-09-17 sweep asked whether the two shared an officer, vendor or funder, since the names point the same direction. Checked 2026-09-22: **they share nothing.** | | AI Accountability Super PAC | [[Alliance for a Better Future]] | |---|---|---| | FEC type | Super PAC (IE-only) | Electioneering communication filer | | Registered | 2026-09-14 | First filed 2026-09-16 | | Address | 400 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA | 614 N Dupont Hwy Ste 210, Dover, DE | | Treasurer / custodian | John Fernandez | Cassidy King, Crosby Ottenhoff Group, Mountain Brook, AL | | Officers | None disclosed | Janet Kelly, CEO | | Vendors | None | M2 Placement, Ascent Media LLC | | Funders | None disclosed | None disclosed | No overlap on any axis. Absent contrary evidence, **treat them as unrelated organizations that chose adjacent names.** ## Watch triggers - **Any filing beyond the Form 1.** This trigger was set on 2026-09-15 and has not fired through 2026-09-22. A first Form 24, a Form 3X, or an amendment naming officers all convert this stub into a real page. - **October 15** — its first quarterly receipts report would be due. If it files a report showing zero, that is itself informative; if it never files, the registration was speculative. - **Any officer, vendor or funder overlap with [[Alliance for a Better Future]] or [[Leading the Future]].** > [!note] Stub, and deliberately so > Created 2026-09-22 from the 2026-09-15 midterm money sweep. It was proposed as a thin page precisely > because there is nothing to say yet. **If it still has one filing and zero dollars after October 15, > consider whether this page should exist at all** — a registration that never becomes a committee is > vault clutter, not intelligence. ## See also - [[Alliance for a Better Future]] — the funded anti-Big-Tech AI vehicle; unrelated on present evidence - [[Leading the Future]] — the funded pro-preemption AI vehicle - [[Fairshake PAC]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Dark Money]]
