# The Georgia Way **The Georgia Way** (FEC committee **C00953398**) is a state-branded super PAC spending against [[Mike Collins]] in [[GA-Sen-2026]]. Its address of record — 1032 15th Street NW, Suite 247, Washington DC — and its treasurer of record, **Rebecca Lambe**, are the same as [[WinSenate]]'s, which makes it part of the Suite 247 cluster documented on that page. | Notice | Received | Amount | Direction | Vendor | Aggregate | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | **Form 24, file 2016118** | 2026-10-01 | **$1,428,150.53** | oppose [[Mike Collins]] | Waterfront Strategies | $6,100,124.88 | **Waterfront Strategies** is the same buyer that placed 83% of [[WinSenate]]'s October notice. > [!warning] Aggregate column > The $6,100,124.88 aggregate on this single-row notice **cannot be read as a Georgia race total or a committee > cycle total** — the column's meaning is filer-dependent and a single-row > document gives no way to tell which convention this filer used. Derive any total by summing filings. > [!note] Stub > Created 2026-10-02 to resolve links from [[WinSenate]] and [[WinSenate 23.7M Senate Map IE October 2026]]. > Still to establish: full notice history, funders, and whether the Suite 247 committees are legally > affiliated. ## Receipt date 2026-10-08 — $1,000,745.88, and the vendor is the tell | Filing | Received | Expenditure date | Amount | Direction | Lines | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Form 24, file **2018474** | 2026-10-08 | 2026-10-06 | **$1,000,745.88** | oppose [[Mike Collins]] | 1 | One line, one vendor: **[[Waterfront Strategies]]**. 🔴 **That vendor is the Senate Democrats' principal media buyer.** In the same tranche [[Waterfront Strategies]] placed **$13,290,016.92** for [[WinSenate]] (file 2018482, recorded at [[WinSenate 19.2M Senate Map IE October 2026]]) and **$2,847,580.69** for VoteVets. A Georgia-branded committee with no disclosed funder buying through that firm is the strongest attribution signal the vault has on this committee — **and it is a vendor signal, not a disclosed relationship.** Nothing in the filing names a funder, and the committee's filing frequency may put that answer after election day. [[GA-Sen-2026]] took exactly two Schedule E lines on this receipt date, both negative: this one, and [[Senate Leadership Fund]]'s $1,956,806.72 against [[Jon Ossoff]]. The aggregate column is not to be read as a Georgia race total. This is a **first read** of receipt date 2026-10-08.
