# Public First Action **Public First Action Inc.** is the funding entity behind the **AI-policy** super PAC family this vault records as **[[Public First]]**. It carries **no FEC committee ID**, so it files nothing with the FEC and discloses no donors of its own; everything below is **recipients' descriptions of the payer**, derived from the processed Schedule A index. ## $26,435,000.00 into six committees, 2026 cycle Derived from `/schedules/schedule_a/` at a **$500,000.00** floor (memo rows excluded, amendment-form rows **kept** — the processed index returns the current version of each transaction, so excluding amendments there deletes real money). | Recipient | FEC ID | Total | |---|---|---| | **Jobs and Democracy PAC** | C00928374 | **$14,935,000.00** | | **Defending Our Values PAC** | C00928390 | **$7,500,000.00** | | **Latino Victory Fund** | C00562777 | **$2,000,000.00** | | **[[Public First]]** | C00930503 | **$1,000,000.00** | | Commonwealth Together PAC | C00933564 | $500,000.00 | | Abundant Future | C00922229 | $500,000.00 | | | | **$26,435,000.00** across **15 rows** | **Thirteen of the fifteen rows are Line 17** — Other Federal Receipts, into recipients' **non-contribution accounts** — and two are Line 11(a)(i). The line number is part of the fact: most of this money is **not** an itemised contribution, and no page should present it as a donor list entry. Every row is traceable to a file number; the largest cluster, $12,285,000.00 to Jobs and Democracy PAC, sits across files 1966728, 1982850 and 1997879. ## Why it matters The vault's AI-political-money coverage has been built from the **deregulatory** side — the [[Fairshake PAC]] network, [[Leading the Future]]. This is the **pro-regulation** counterpart's money pipe, and it is the same architecture: a non-filing corporate entity moving eight figures into a set of super PACs, with the individuals visible only occasionally. **[[Dario Amodei]]'s $1,000,000.00 is the visible part; this is the larger, less visible part.** ## Open questions - Its tax status, officers, address and funders. Corporate or tax records this task cannot reach, and its address is **not established** from the filings read here. - What **Jobs and Democracy PAC** and **Defending Our Values PAC** are, and what the $22.4M between them bought. Neither has a page in this vault. - Whether any of the six recipients spent in a federal race this vault already tracks. ## See Also - [[Public First]] · [[Dario Amodei]] · [[Dario Amodei 1M to Public First]] · [[Anthropic]] - [[Leading the Future]] · [[Fairshake PAC]] - [[Artificial Intelligence]] · [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[Organizations Hub]]
