# Project Bullhorn PAC **Project Bullhorn PAC** (FEC committee **C00947374**) is an independent-expenditure committee at **490 Post Street Ste 500 #3072, San Francisco, California 94102**, treasurer **Laurie Van Hall**, spending for Democrat **[[Josh Turek]]** and against Republican **[[Ashley Hinson]]** in [[IA-Sen-2026]]. ## Disclosed spending | Filing | Received | Expenditure date | Amount | Direction | Vendors | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Form 24, file **2016771** | 2026-10-04 | 2026-10-02 | **$255,000.00** | $127,500.00 support [[Josh Turek]] / $127,500.00 oppose [[Ashley Hinson]] | Influist, Inc $130,000.00 · Taskforce $125,000.00 | The split is exact, and the vendors are **digital and field** firms — there is no broadcast placement. ## Why it is on file here 🔴 **It is the second committee to spend against [[Ashley Hinson]].** [[WinSenate]]'s $1.5M on 2026-10-03 was the first dollar aimed at her recorded anywhere on this site, in a state no Democrat has won a Senate race in since 2008. This second notice comes from a different committee using a different channel — which makes Iowa an entry rather than a probe. The aggregate columns ($192,500.00 and $255,000.00) are **not** race or committee totals. ## Open questions - Its first Form 3X — the only document that would name a funder. A San Francisco address on an Iowa Senate committee invites the question of whether the money is tech-sector. - Whether Influist, Inc or Taskforce appear on any other committee. ## Related KB entities [[IA-Sen-2026]] · [[Josh Turek]] · [[Ashley Hinson]] · [[WinSenate]] · [[Fight On Iowa]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Organizations Hub]] ## Sources - FEC Form 24, file 2016771 — `https://docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2016771.fec` ## 2026-10-06 — the anti-Hinson entry is now three committees deep On receipt date **2026-10-05**, **[[American Meat Producers PAC]]** (C00929828) put **$1,708,500.00** against [[Ashley Hinson]] in one Schedule E line (file **2017130**) — thirteen times this committee's $127,500.00 of 2026-10-04, and the largest single IE line on the day nationwide. **This committee's own trigger did not fire.** It filed nothing on 2026-10-05: no second notice, no Form 3X, no funder named. The question of whether its money is tech-sector remains open and is only answerable from its receipts. Source: `docquery.fec.gov/dcdev/posted/2017130.fec`
