# Thomas Datwyler **Thomas Datwyler** is a high-volume Republican campaign-finance compliance treasurer. He enters the vault's money record because **five federal super PACs registered from his address inside fifteen days** in the closing weeks of the 2026 midterms. 🔴 **Updated 2026-10-12 — a sixth committee, older than all five, and the first with money.** [[Aurora Action Network]] (C00907584) first registered with the FEC on **2025-06-06** and lists Datwyler as treasurer. Its Q3 2026 report (file **2019466**, disclosed 2026-10-11) shows **$2,596,500.00** of cycle receipts — including **$1,500,000.00 from [[Elon Musk]]** — against **zero independent expenditures**. The five committees below disclosed no money at all; this one has moved **$2.68 million**. Address of record on every filing read: **Hudson, WI**. Email on every form: a personal Gmail address. Depository on every form: **First Resource Bank, Lino Lakes, MN**. ## Committees of record in the vault | Committee | FEC ID | Form 1 file | Registered | |---|---|---|---| | [[Aurora Action Network]] | C00907584 | — (Form 1 not reviewed) | **2025-06-06** | | [[Mobilizing Americans for Real Change and Opportunity PAC]] | C00962019 | 2014697 | **2026-09-21** | | [[Buckeye Freedom PAC]] | C00963017 | 2017106 | **2026-10-05** | | [[Red Alaska PAC]] | C00963025 | 2017113 | **2026-10-05** | | [[WY Action]] | C00963041 | 2017118 | **2026-10-05** | | [[Northshore Justice]] | C00963066 | 2017137 | **2026-10-05** | Four of the five registered **in a single filing session** — see [[Datwyler Four Super PAC Formation Cluster October 2026]]. > [!note] A corporation at the same street address, paid by one of his committees > On **2026-07-28** [[Aurora Action Network]] — a committee Datwyler treasures — paid **$250,000.00** to > **[[Make A Diff Inc]]**, whose address on that filing is **Hudson, WI**: > the same street address that appears on all five Form 1s below. The row is coded Schedule B Line 29, > purpose "DONATION", election `O2026` / `NON-ELECTION`. Make A Diff, Inc has **no FEC committee ID**. > This is an **address match and a payment, nothing more** — the caution immediately below applies at > full strength, and the vault asserts no ownership or control. > [!warning] A treasurer is a vendor, not a principal > This is the vault's standing caution and it applies at full strength. A compliance treasurer signs for > many committees; five committees at one address means five clients hired one practice, **or** one client > opened five committees, and **the filings cannot tell you which**. The vault retracted a > "Gantt/Beverly network" reading in September 2026 for precisely this error. > > Nothing on this page asserts that Datwyler funds, directs or knows the backers of any committee he signs > for. What the filings establish is **form**: these are professionally administered committees, not > grassroots ones. ## What is not established here Datwyler's wider client roster, his firm, and his role in any publicly reported campaign-finance dispute are **not covered here**. This page records only what the five Form 1s say. ## What to watch - 🔴 **A seventh committee from Hudson WI.** *Partly answered 2026-10-12 from the other direction:* the sixth Datwyler committee ([[Aurora Action Network]]) has an Anchorage address, not a Hudson one — but it sent **$250,000.00 to a corporation at the Hudson address**. A further committee, or a further non-committee entity there, would settle it. - 🔴 **[[Aurora Action Network]]'s pre-Q3 reports** — the only route to its earlier donors, and the cheapest open question on this page. - 🔴 **The first Schedule E line from any of the four 2026-10-05 committees.** ## See Also - [[Datwyler Four Super PAC Formation Cluster October 2026]] - [[State-Branded Super PAC Template]] · [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] - [[WY Action]] · [[Red Alaska PAC]] · [[Buckeye Freedom PAC]] · [[Northshore Justice]] - [[Mobilizing Americans for Real Change and Opportunity PAC]] · [[Aurora Action Network]] - [[Elon Musk 1.5M to Aurora Action Network]] · [[Make A Diff Inc]] · [[Repeal Now]] · [[Elon Musk]]
