# One Nation > [!note] Disambiguation > This page is the American dark-money 501(c)(4) and holds the bare name. For Pauline Hanson's Australian political party, see [[One Nation (Australia)]]. **Type:** 501(c)(4) "social welfare" organization **Founded:** 2015 **Headquarters:** Washington, D.C. **President:** Steven Law (also President of [[Senate Leadership Fund]], [[American Crossroads]], and [[Crossroads GPS]]) **Twin organization:** [[Senate Leadership Fund]] (the [[Mitch McConnell]]-aligned Republican Senate Super PAC) One Nation is the **Republican-aligned Senate-leadership dark-money 501(c)(4)** — the twin organization to the [[Senate Leadership Fund]] Super PAC. The pair, like its predecessor [[American Crossroads]] / [[Crossroads GPS]] pair, operates under common leadership: Steven Law has been President of all four Crossroads-network entities since the network's reorganization in 2015. The result is that a single operator runs **four interlocking political-spending vehicles** simultaneously — two Super PACs and two 501(c)(4)s — that collectively constitute the principal Mitch-McConnell-aligned Senate Republican political operation. The One Nation / [[Senate Leadership Fund]] pair has effectively **succeeded** the [[Crossroads GPS]] / [[American Crossroads]] pair as the dominant Republican Senate-cycle political-spending operation. The Crossroads entities still exist but have declined substantially in spending volume since approximately 2016; the One Nation / Senate Leadership Fund pair is where most Republican Senate-cycle donor money now flows. ## The Twin-Structure Pattern The One Nation / Senate Leadership Fund pair follows the now-standard configuration: | Entity | Tax Status | Donor Disclosure | |---|---|---| | [[Senate Leadership Fund]] (Super PAC) | 527 / IE-only PAC | Disclosed to FEC | | One Nation (501(c)(4)) | 501(c)(4) social welfare | Not disclosed | Operational division of labor: - **Senate Leadership Fund** runs disclosed Super PAC operations supporting Republican Senate candidates - **One Nation** runs undisclosed 501(c)(4) operations on the same races and the same broader Republican-Senate-coalition political program ## The Steven Law Continuity Steven Law's presidency of four interlocking entities — One Nation, [[Senate Leadership Fund]], [[Crossroads GPS]], [[American Crossroads]] — is the most concentrated single-operator control of post-Citizens United political-spending infrastructure on the conservative side. The structural arrangement means that decisions about which entity receives donor money, which races to target, and which advertising campaigns to run are all coordinated under a single strategic direction even though the entities are formally separate organizations with separate FEC and IRS filings. The Law-continuity pattern reflects how **operators persist while vehicles change**. The Crossroads-era operations (2010-2015) and the Senate Leadership Fund-era operations (2015-present) are operationally continuous under Law even though the public-facing organizational identity has shifted. ## 2026 cycle — $70,740,000 into SLF PAC FEC-verified, three quarterly grants, all reported on **Line 17 (Other Federal Receipts)**: | Date received | Amount | FEC file | |---|---|---| | 2025-12-31 | **$35,270,000** | 1950739 | | 2026-03-31 | **$11,180,000** | 1986757 | | 2026-06-30 | **$24,290,000** | 1996156 (amended report) | | **Total** | **$70,740,000** | | Every grant lands on the **final day of a reporting quarter** — the shape of a planned transfer, not a donation — and the Q2 grant **more than doubled** the Q1 grant. Issue One puts this at roughly **28% of the Senate Leadership Fund's total receipts** this cycle. Recorded as [[One Nation 70.7M to Senate Leadership Fund]]. What this funds, race by race, is recorded at [[SLF 23.6M Senate IE September 2026]], [[SLF 342M Senate IE Reservation Program]] and — through the separate quarterly-filing [[Texas PAC]] — [[Texas PAC 61.4M Texas Senate IE]]. > [!warning] Rule 4e > The $24,290,000 row arrives inside an amended report. FEC Back-Sweep Standard **Rule 4a** says to exclude > amendment-form rows, but that rule governs daily tranche counting; applied to this cycle aggregation it > would have dropped a real grant and reported $46,450,000 — a 34% understatement. See **Rule 4e**. ## Significance for the KB One Nation is included in the corpus as one of the principal Senate-cycle dark-money operations and as a documented case of the **operator-continuity pattern** that distinguishes the contemporary conservative-political-infrastructure model. Understanding the Mitch-McConnell-aligned Republican Senate operation requires understanding the One Nation / Senate Leadership Fund pair as the principal contemporary vehicle. ## See Also - [[Senate Leadership Fund]] — the paired Super PAC twin - [[Mitch McConnell]] — the Senate Republican leader the operation supports - [[Crossroads GPS]] — the predecessor 501(c)(4) (still operating but declining) - [[American Crossroads]] — the predecessor Super PAC (still operating but declining) - [[Majority Forward]] — the Democratic-side Senate-cycle counterpart - [[501(c)(4)]] — the entity type - [[Citizens United v.
