# GLCF **GLCF, Inc.** (FEC committee **C00853861**) is an independent-expenditure-only committee — a super PAC — first registered with the FEC on **2023-10-17**. It files from **PO Box 36, Portage MI 49081**. Treasurer of record: **Katie Reid**. The committee's name is an unexplained initialism. Nothing on its filings says what it stands for, who founded it or what it is for. ## The buy | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Notice | Form 24, file **2030022**, received **2026-10-18** | | Amount | **$4,732,611.62** across 2 lines | | Expenditure date | 2026-10-17 | | Direction | **oppose [[Abdul El-Sayed]]**, [[MI-Sen-2026]], general election | | Payees | **Smart Media Group LLC** $4,432,611.62 · **IMGE LLC** $300,000.00 | That makes it, on a single notice, one of the larger late independent expenditures in the Michigan Senate race. > [!note] Reading the running total > The running total on the committee's own rows reads **$11,888,284.35**. Filers populate that column in > several different ways, so this site does not publish it as a committee or race total. It does indicate > roughly **$7.2 million of earlier spending** by this committee that is not yet accounted for here, and > which its earlier notices should carry. ## 🔴 The funder is not on the record GLCF has disclosed **no receipts** that this site has found. It did not file a monthly report on the 2026-10-20 deadline. A super PAC may take unlimited money from individuals, corporations and unions, and must report it — but a committee whose reporting schedule puts its next report after election day can spend millions first and name its funders afterwards. That is the position GLCF is in. ## What to watch - 🔴 **Its first disclosed receipt.** This is the whole question. - Any further notice; roughly $7.2 million of earlier spending is implied and untraced. - Smart Media Group LLC and IMGE LLC on any other committee. - Whether the name GLCF resolves to a known Michigan entity. ## See Also - [[MI-Sen-2026]] · [[Abdul El-Sayed]] - [[Super PACs]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[Donor Network Hub]] · [[2026 Midterms Hub]]
