Lickley’s 2024 campaign: named corporate donors and consultant payment leads
Recorded status: Official dashboard observed; transaction dates, duplicate vendor entries and detailed expenditure totals require reconciliation.
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 official Idaho Sunshine profile for Laurie Lickley, State Senate District 26, election year 2024, was inspected September 18, 2026 with Primary, General, Runoff and Recall checked. The combined financial summary displays election-cycle contributions of $88,700.58 and expenditures of $124,711.24. These are dashboard figures as inspected, not independently reconciled ledger totals.
The Top Contributors panel lists: Idaho Cattle PAC $2,000; Blaine County Republican Central Committee $2,000; Idaho Power Company $2,000; Clearwater Paper $2,000; JR Simplot Company $2,000; RAI Services Company $2,000; Idaho AGC State Political Action Committee $2,000; Idaho Beer and Wine Distributors Association $1,250; Idaho Farm Bureau Federation Political Action Committee $1,250; Picabo Livestock Co., Inc. $1,250. This is a selected top-contributor panel, not the full donor list. Transaction dates and primary/general splits have not been extracted. The $2,000 cycle totals for Idaho Power and Clearwater Paper should not be confused with the $1,000 recent contributions described in May 20, 2024 reporting previously saved.
The Top Vendors panel lists: Griffin Marketing $17,215.65; Sunnybrook Strategies $14,700; Sunnybrook Strategies $8,800; Express Publishing Co. $8,626.08; Gem State Public Affairs $7,000; Eye On Sun Valley $4,970; Lee Family BRdcasting $4,000; Jerome County Fat Stock Sale $3,870.32; Lamar $3,350; Northside Journal $3,040. Spellings retained. Sunnybrook appears twice, both labeled Idaho Falls. Do not consolidate them into a verified $23,500 total until underlying transactions, entity identifiers and amendments are reconciled. The expenditure-purpose panel also presents figures requiring reconciliation against the headline total; no category totals are adopted here.
These records identify direct campaign contributors and named campaign payees. They are distinct from WinAg independent spending supporting Lickley documented in research receipt 0891aac8-7c4d-4a02-bd68-18ba802bd550. No common consultant ownership, shared staff, coordination, earmarking, quid pro quo, IACI membership, or personal payment to Lickley is established by this dashboard. Her historically disclosed renewable-energy community-relations client remains unidentified.
Next evidentiary targets are the underlying expenditure filings for Griffin Marketing, both Sunnybrook entries and Gem State Public Affairs; their legal identities and operators; and any separately documented clients shared with WinAg, Little or industry groups. These are investigative leads, not established common-control findings. The owner has directed the investigation away from ICEN.
