# Save Our Montana **Save Our Montana** (FEC committee **C00963157**) registered with the Federal Election Commission on **2026-10-06**, twenty-eight days before the general election, disclosing **no money**. ## Registration | Item | Detail | |---|---| | FEC committee ID | **C00963157** | | Form | **Form 1**, file **2017351**, received and signed **2026-10-06** | | Committee address | **Athens, GA** | | Treasurer | **[[Paul Kilgore]]**, same address | | Contact email | `[email protected]`; also `[email protected]` | | Depository | **Classic City Bank**, 2365 W Broad St, Athens GA | | Filing frequency | Quarterly (committee type code `G` on the form) | | Money disclosed at registration | **None** | ## A Montana committee that files from Georgia Save Our Montana is a textbook instance of the [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]]: a state name, a generically protective verb, no disclosed principal, an out-of-state compliance address, and no money on the registration. Athens, Georgia is roughly 2,000 miles from Helena. It is the **fifth** committee this vault has found at 824 S Milledge Ave Ste 101 — see [[PDS Compliance]] — and the first branded for a state in which none of the other four operate. The other four are tied to New England and to national Senate races: [[Protect the Majority 2026]] and [[New England Victory Fund]] raise for [[Susan Collins]] and [[John E. Sununu]], [[Battle Tested PAC]] has disclosed no spending, and [[Defending America PAC]] spent in Pennsylvania. ## Why the timing is the fact [[MT-Sen-2026]] is an **open seat** — [[Steve Daines]] is retiring — rated Solid R. A committee registering to spend there four weeks out, on a **quarterly** filing schedule, will not file a receipts report before 2027. **It can therefore spend without ever naming a donor before the votes are counted.** Nothing on the form is false and nothing is concealed; the disclosure calendar simply does not reach back inside the window in which the money is spent. > [!note] Stub built 2026-10-07 from the registration document alone > Still to establish: whether it spends at all, in which race, and on which side. A Montana-named committee > is not necessarily a Montana-race committee — [[Last Frontier PAC]] is Alaska-named and Alabama-filed, > and [[Stronger Maine]] is Maine-named and Houston-filed. **Trigger: the first Schedule E line.** ## See Also - [[PDS Compliance]] · [[Paul Kilgore]] · [[MT-Sen-2026]] - [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[Organizations Hub]]
