# Choose Freedom PAC **Choose Freedom PAC** (FEC committee **C00961656**) is an independent-expenditure committee that spent **$1,304,214.60 against [[Adam Hamilton]]**, the Democratic nominee in [[KS-Sen-2026]], on e-file receipt date **2026-10-25** — nine days before the general election and its first appearance in that race. ## The disclosed spending | Filing | Received | Amount | Lines | Direction | Candidate | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Form 24, file **2041628** | 2026-10-25 | **$1,304,214.60** | 2 | **oppose** | [[Adam Hamilton]] | Expenditure date **2026-10-24**, election code `G2026`. ### Vendors on the filing | Vendor | Amount | Share | |---|---|---| | Strategic Media Placement Inc | $1,297,194.60 | **99.46%** | | The Strategy Group for Media Inc | $7,020.00 | 0.54% | One buy through one placement firm, which has been the normal shape of a notice in this window rather than the exception. ## 🔴 A seventh committee at 421 Office Park Drive The Form 24 gives the committee's address of record as **421 Office Park Dr, Mountain Brook, Alabama 35223**, under treasurer **Kaylen Melton**. That is the Birmingham-suburb address this site already records for six other federal committees, among them [[Civic Renewal Fund]], [[Last Frontier PAC]] and [[Stronger Safer Nation]]. **Choose Freedom PAC makes seven.** It is also the first of that group recorded spending in Kansas; the others have filed in Florida, Alaska and on the candidate side of joint fundraising. > [!warning] What a shared address does not establish > An address in common is **evidence of a shared compliance practice, not proof of common control or a > common funder.** Compliance firms host many unrelated clients at one suite, and three of the committees > at this address are independent-expenditure committees that may not legally coordinate with a campaign > while three others are joint-fundraising committees on the candidate side. Nothing here asserts > coordination. What the overlap establishes is that a reader counting committee names in these races is > not counting independent sources of money. ## An Alabama address, a Kansas race $1.3 million arriving in a Kansas Senate contest from a committee whose only stated location is an office park outside Birmingham is a clean illustration of how little a committee's address tells a voter about who is spending in their state. The name declares no state and no issue. ## What is not known - **Who funds it.** No receipt has been read from this committee, and its first report of donors falls after the election. - Whether **Strategic Media Placement Inc** places for the other committees at the Mountain Brook address. - Whether it spends anywhere other than Kansas. ## See Also - [[KS-Sen-2026]] · [[Kansas Senate Outside Money 2026]] · [[Adam Hamilton]] · [[Roger Marshall]] - [[Civic Renewal Fund]] · [[Last Frontier PAC]] · [[Stronger Safer Nation]] · [[Plains PAC]] - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[Organizations Hub]]
