Original FEC rows confirm $75,000 WFF in-kind research earmarked for Lynne Walz in Nebraska · 2026-09-18
Recorded status: PRIMARY FEC VERIFIED: matching in-kind receipt/expenditure and Nebraska beneficiary; prior reconstruction upgraded; cash-return inference unsupported.

Its payee table reconciles exactly: Montana Freedom PAC is the sole $750,000 federal-committee payment; the eight non-federal transactions are Lynne Walz for Nebraska (2 transactions/$300,000), Government That Works PAC (2/$160,000), Grassroots Dakota ($50,000), Friends of Joshua Boschee ($40,000), People for Better Utah PAC ($30,000), and Rob Sand For Iowa ($25,000).
Way Back’s 2026 Government That Works payments resolve to the non-federal/state PAC, not the separate federal GTW committee · 2026-09-16
Recorded status: HIGH-CONFIDENCE FILING RECONSTRUCTION: Q2 exact counts/totals prove Way Back’s $160K GTW payee is non-federal, excluding federal C00915595. Earlier $75K likewise reconciles as non-federal. Treat these as South Dakota/state GTW pending raw address/state-row confirmation.

Connection research · 2026-09-18Original FEC rows date $550,000 from Way Back to three Idaho PACs

Recorded status: Primary FEC records verified; prior interpretation corrected or upgraded; no finding of unlawful coordination.

Primary-source upgrade, September 18, 2026: Way Back PAC's original pre-primary FEC report 1982527, filed June 11 for April 1–June 3, reports five Schedule B line 29 transactions totaling $550,000 to three Idaho committees. Hometown Heroes PAC: $100,000 on April 30, 2026, D-35622-B (PDF page 30). Idaho First: $100,000 on May 4, D-36049-B (page 30). Defend and Protect Idaho: $100,000 on May 5, D-36052-B; $150,000 on May 7, D-36055-B; and $100,000 on May 15, D-36059-B (pages 26–27), totaling $350,000. All five describe a contribution to a non-federal committee from the non-contribution account. The original electronic records and corresponding PDF text were inspected, upgrading earlier payee aggregation with dates and transaction identifiers. These records establish Way Back's direct funding of all three committees. They do not identify instructions for particular Idaho candidates, messages, advertisements or shared approval. The report's separate $75,000 Western Futures in-kind research item explicitly names Lynne Walz in Nebraska; that earmark must not be applied to these Idaho transactions. Earlier secondary reporting of Gary Raney's contact with Way Back remains a separate source-supported claim; this filing alone does not establish what was discussed. Donor-receipt tracing for this report uses Schedule A line 17, while these payments use Schedule B line 29; an earlier reference to Schedule H should not guide this specific lookup. Next useful evidence: grant terms, instructions and recipient-side records explaining the purpose and decision authority behind these five transfers.
