Its address of record is 1520 Belleview Blvd #3438, Arlington VA, and its treasurer of record is **Dustin McIntyre**. | Notice | Received | Amount | Direction | Vendor | Aggregate | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **Form 24, file 2016115** | 2026-10-01 | **$3,795,467.12** | oppose [[James Talarico]] | **Minute Mail Consulting Group LLC** | $5,615,930.88 | Two lines, expenditure dates **2026-09-30** and **2026-10-02** — the second forward-dated past the filing. ## Why it is tracked **It is the third committee on Minute Mail Consulting Group LLC.** That buyer appears on [[No Going Back PAC]]'s September Texas direct mail and on [[Digital Freedom Fund]]'s $2,970,198.67 Ohio mail program of 2026-09-30. **It became the third on 2026-10-02**, the same day [[Safety and Affordability PAC]] became the third committee on Del Ray Media. **It is now a significant Texas spender.** $3.8M in one notice against Talarico puts it behind [[Texas PAC]] and [[MAGA Inc]] but ahead of several committees the vault already records on [[TX-Sen-2026]]. > [!warning] Rule 4c > The $5,615,930.88 aggregate is not publishable as a Texas race total or committee cycle total; see FEC > Back-Sweep Standard Rule 4c. > [!note] Stub > Created 2026-10-02. Still to establish: committee history (the C006 ID prefix suggests a committee older than > this cycle), funders, and the full Texas notice series. ## See Also - [[TX-Sen-2026]] · [[James Talarico]] · [[Ken Paxton]] - [[Texas PAC]] · [[Texas PAC 61.4M Texas Senate IE]] · [[MAGA Inc 20M Texas Senate IE Program]] - [[No Going Back PAC]] · [[Digital Freedom Fund]] · [[Safety and Affordability PAC]] - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]] - [[Organizations Hub]]
