The operating-payment card uses selected loaded reports for 2023–2024, with $5,276 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: $1,330,812 through Dec 31, 2024. 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.
