Way Back’s current funding scale shows about $1.2M in Western Futures receipts and $650K from Toolbox before major Idaho PAC disbursements

Current FEC data materially increases the scale of the Western Futures→Way Back→Idaho route beyond earlier snapshots. The FEC committee overview reports Way Back PAC total receipts of $5,185,803.26 for Jan. 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026. A current FEC-bulk aggregation of itemized large receipts groups Western Futures Fund under two filer/entity classifications: $1,075,000 across two receipts plus a separately classified $125,000 receipt, for approximately $1.2 million in name-matched Western Futures receipts; it separately reports Toolbox at $650,000 across two receipts. A primary FEC Schedule A already reproduces the $125,000 Western Futures receipt dated April 29, 2025, and Way Back’s Jan. 14, 2026 FEC Form 1 identifies Western Futures Fund as its Connected Organization. Idaho Education News had earlier reported, from FEC records available during the May 2026 Idaho primary period, $1.125 million from WFF and $350,000 from Toolbox, indicating the current higher totals reflect a later reporting cutoff and/or additional receipts rather than necessarily conflicting data. On the downstream side, FEC-derived Apr. 1–Jun. 3, 2026 reporting shows Way Back paid $350,000 to Defend and Protect Idaho, $100,000 to Hometown Heroes PAC and $100,000 to Idaho First, alongside a $75,000 payment back to Western Futures Fund. This establishes a high-dollar external funding hub feeding multiple Idaho PACs. It does NOT establish that a particular Western Futures or Toolbox receipt was the same dollar later paid to an Idaho PAC, nor that WFF/Toolbox selected Idaho candidates or messages. Raw FEC reproduction of the remaining large WFF/Toolbox receipt rows is still required for transaction-level reconciliation.
