FEC bulk summary totals through Jun 30, 2026

Total receipts$8.1K

Indexed operating payments$0Identified noncash offsets excluded · selected reports only

Individual contributions$400

FEC reported cash on hand$4.8K

The operating-payment card uses selected loaded reports for 2025–2026, with $6,942 in identified noncash accounting offsets excluded. It is not total committee spending or an audited cash-flow balance. The other cards use the FEC summary; its coverage can differ from the indexed operating records.

Original FEC disbursements and reporting context

FEC reported disbursements: $16,489 through Jun 30, 2026. This original filing total may include noncash accounting offsets. It is retained for reconciliation, not shown as money paid to vendors. The indexed-payment figure is calculated from its own source records, not by subtracting full-cycle offsets from a potentially different FEC reporting period.
