Documented upstream routing layer: Western Futures Fund → Way Back PAC → Idaho committees → Redbird

A sourced Wyoming campaign-finance registry built from FEC Schedule A/B, Wyoming reports, and IRS Forms 990 identifies an upstream routing structure relevant to the Idaho Redbird inquiry. Way Back PAC’s amended 2026 Wyoming report lists organizational receipts including Western Futures Fund ($2.075M reported to Wyoming), Civitech ($1M), Toolbox ($850k), North Fund ($300k), Global Impact Social Welfare Fund ($25k), and Durst Organization ($10k). The same registry’s 2025–26 FEC Schedule B transcription lists Way Back payments to Defend and Protect Idaho ($375k: 9/12/25 $25k; 5/5/26 $100k; 5/7/26 $150k; 5/15/26 $100k), Hometown Heroes ($175k: 2/20/25 $50k; 3/12/25 $25k; 4/30/26 $100k), and Idaho First ($100k on 5/4/26). These are the same three Idaho committees independently verified as paying Redbird Strategies. Separately, Western Futures Fund’s IRS filings show direct Idaho grants to Votes Idaho/Votes Idaho Company totaling $561,750 during 2022–24, Idahoans United for Women and Families $60,000 in 2024, and Conservation Voters of Idaho $145,000 in 2023. This establishes a real common upstream funding layer and a repeat Western-state routing model; it does not establish illegal earmarking, coordination, Redbird ownership, or any Cothren connection. One amount discrepancy remains: Idaho Sunshine’s current Defend profile displays Way Back PAC at $400,000 while the registry’s cited 2025–26 itemization totals $375,000; likely cycle/date/amendment scope must be reconciled from primary records.
