Esto Perpetua PAC is Pisca/Mallea-run; the similarly named vendor LLC remains opaque
Recorded status: PRIMARY VERIFIED: PAC officers and Risch Pisca bridge. DaVita independently discloses a 2026 PAC contribution. Vendor LLC owner and legal relationship to the PAC remain unresolved.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Primary records require separating three similarly named identities. (1) Esto Perpetua PAC is an Idaho political committee filed June 22, 2011; Idaho’s 2018 committee list names Jeremy Pisca as chairman and Maggie Mallea as treasurer, both at P.O. Box 1304, Boise, and the listed phone matches Risch Pisca’s current office number. Pisca’s firm biography identifies him as a partner, attorney, and lobbyist focused on government affairs. DaVita’s January 2026 political disclosure reports a $1,750 contribution to Esto Perpetua PAC, confirming the PAC continues to receive corporate political money. (2) Hometown Heroes’ current Idaho Sunshine profile separately lists a $35,000 contribution from “Esto Perpetua” and a $22,396.57 payment to “Esto Perpetua Group” for advertising production. (3) Idaho’s older Sunshine vendor record names “Esto Perpetua Group LLC,” gives a Wyoming registered-agent mailing address, and records $34,838.90 in 2022 Take Back Idaho payments. Supported conclusion: the Idaho PAC is a Pisca/Mallea-administered political committee tied to a Statehouse lobbying firm; the vendor LLC/group is an opaque political-services payee. The public records reviewed do not yet establish that the PAC and vendor are the same legal entity or identify the LLC’s beneficial owner.
Evidence firewall: shared wording, cash flow, address geography, and political-network overlap are leads, not legal-identity proof. Do not attribute the Wyoming LLC to Pisca, Mallea, Risch Pisca, or the Idaho PAC without a formation document, officer disclosure, contract, invoice, or other primary record joining them.
