File 2020945 is new money and is logged on [[TX-Sen-2026]]. ## Why it matters **It is the vehicle that puts Texas's largest far-right state-level funder into a federal Senate general election.** The [[Tim Dunn]] machine documented in this vault — Empower Texans, Defend Texas Liberty PAC, the Texas Public Policy Foundation, legislative primaries — has operated almost entirely at state level. This is the same money in a federal super PAC spending against a Democratic Senate nominee. **It is the first distinctly digital-only independent-expenditure vehicle recorded in [[TX-Sen-2026]].** The race has been dominated by eight-figure broadcast notices — [[MAGA Inc]], Texas PAC, Senate Leadership Fund — placed by large media firms. This programme runs at roughly 1/60th the scale through four firms that appear nowhere else in these sweeps. ## Open questions - Whether the $557,420.31 of cash on hand is spent before 2026-11-03. - Whether the committee files in any race other than [[TX-Sen-2026]]. - **Digital Room LLC** and **Digital Corporate Companies Inc.**, $595,596.66 between them, no vault page. - Whether **Farris Wilks** — Dunn's long-time co-funder — appears on any federal committee this cycle. ## See Also - [[Tim Dunn]] · [[Tim Dunn 1.3M to Protecting America's Future]] - [[TX-Sen-2026]] · [[James Talarico]] · [[Ken Paxton]] - [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[Organizations Hub]]
