Western Futures Fund

UPDATE AND PRIMARY-SOURCE UPGRADE, September 18, 2026: The earlier high-confidence reconstruction is now directly verified, and the filing identifies a Nebraska beneficiary. Way Back PAC's current pre-primary FEC report 1982527, filed June 11, 2026 for April 1–June 3, records a $75,000 receipt from Western Futures Fund on May 22, transaction R-1357756-A, Schedule A line 17, PDF page 15. The receipt describes an in-kind item earmarked for Lynne Walz (Nebraska governor) in the non-contribution account. The matching Schedule B line 29 entry, D-37075-B, page 37, also dated May 22 for $75,000, identifies non-federal in-kind research services and repeats the Lynne Walz Nebraska governor earmark. Both the original electronic filing and rendered PDF were inspected; FEC's filings page listed report 1982527 as current version when checked. This is the reporting of a specified in-kind service, not evidence of a cash payment or refund back to Western Futures. It should not be counted as an additional $75,000 of cash available for Idaho spending. The reported Nebraska designation is direct evidence of the named intended beneficiary for this item; it is not evidence of Idaho earmarking or unlawful coordination. This closes the prior missing-row and unidentified-beneficiary questions for this transaction. The underlying research product, provider, valuation method, instructions and any recipient acknowledgment remain unexamined. The same report separately lists a $75,000 monetary contribution to Government That Works PAC at a Sioux Falls address; it is a distinct transaction and must not be merged with this in-kind item. Earlier research versions are preserved; references treating this $75,000 as an unexplained reverse cash transfer are superseded.
