Sixteen Thirty and WFF funded Secure Elections Project, whose current Idaho legislative-policy representative is Lobby Idaho's Jason Kreizenbeck
Recorded status: Primary/IRS and current organizational records verify 1630/WFF funding and Kreizenbeck's Idaho legislative-policy role. Idaho bill-specific activity and grant-to-lobbyist dollar tracing 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.
The Secure Elections Project creates a direct national-funding-to-Idaho-policy personnel route. Sixteen Thirty Fund's primary Schedule I filings report grants to Secure Elections Project of $2.03M in 2022, $75,000 in 2023 and $100,000 in 2024, totaling $2.205M across those three years. Secure Elections Project's FY2024 recipient filing separately reports $100,000 from Sixteen Thirty Fund and $50,000 from Western Futures Fund among its disclosed FY2024 funders. Secure Elections Project's current official leadership page identifies Jason B. Kreizenbeck of Lobby Idaho as the Idaho member of its Legislative & Policy Team. A current lobbying-data directory also lists Secure Elections Project among Kreizenbeck/Lobby Idaho's Idaho clients, while Lobby Idaho describes Kreizenbeck as its president/CEO/co-founder and as specializing in policy development, coalition building and lobbying before Idaho government. SEP's public policy materials advocate election-administration changes including automatic/automated voter registration and other election-security measures. This establishes that organizations already central to the Sixteen Thirty/WFF funding network financed an election-policy organization that has an identifiable Idaho government-relations professional on its legislative/policy team. It does NOT establish that the Sixteen Thirty or WFF grants were earmarked for Kreizenbeck's Idaho work, that Kreizenbeck was paid from those specific grants, or that he caused passage or defeat of any particular Idaho election bill. No Idaho bill-specific SEP testimony or expenditure has yet been reproduced in this pass; that remains the next transaction/activity-level target.
