How much did Promethean PAC spend on independent expenditures and to which candidates or committees during 2023–2024?
Executive summary
Promethean PAC reported no outside (independent) spending in the 2024 election cycle, and OpenSecrets’ Promethean PAC summary explicitly states the PAC “has not reported any outside spending in the 2024 election cycle” [1]. That absence of reported independent expenditures means there are no candidate or committee recipients listed in the available FEC/OpenSecrets data for the 2023–2024 cycle [2] [3].
1. What the public records show about independent expenditures
The authoritative public trackers consulted show no disclosed independent expenditures by Promethean PAC for the 2023–2024 election cycle: OpenSecrets’ Promethean PAC profile and summary pages state the PAC “has not reported any outside spending in the 2024 election cycle” [1], and OpenSecrets’ independent-expenditure page for PACs covers the 2023–2024 cycle while noting its totals come from FEC filings [2]. The Federal Election Commission committee overview is the original filing source that underlies those aggregations, and that FEC dataset is the repository used to determine whether independent expenditures were reported [3].
2. Implication: no listed recipients in the available datasets
Because Promethean PAC did not report outside spending in the 2024 cycle according to OpenSecrets’ summary, there are no entries tying independent-expenditure dollars to specific candidates or committees in the OpenSecrets or FEC extracts reviewed [1] [2]. OpenSecrets also shows the PAC made no large contributions to other PACs or party committees in 2023–2024, which is consistent with a lack of notable outside-spending activity to report [4].
3. Context on PAC totals and PAC behavior in 2023–2024
For perspective, independent expenditures across all PACs and related groups were large in 2023–2024 — the FEC’s statistical summary reports independent expenditures disclosed in that period totaled $4.4 billion, with PACs of various types accounting for most of that outside spending — but Promethean PAC is not listed among groups that made independent expenditures in those aggregated tallies [5]. OpenSecrets’ outside-spending tools contextualize these aggregated flows while sourcing the same FEC filings [6] [7].
4. Caveats and reporting limitations that matter
The datasets consulted note limitations: OpenSecrets cautions that its independent-expenditure totals “cover the entire 2023-2024 election cycle and include data obtained from the Federal Election Commission as of [the snapshot] and may not include the most recent expenditures,” and the FEC pages explain that some short‑notice (24- and 48-hour) reports may not be included in certain summaries [2] [3]. Therefore, while the current public records and OpenSecrets summary show no outside spending by Promethean PAC in 2023–2024 [1], late or amended filings not captured in the snapshots consulted could alter that conclusion; available reporting does not document any such later entries.
5. Additional relevant facts about the committee and transparency
OpenSecrets reports Promethean PAC raised $418,243 in the 2023–2024 cycle, a figure that appears in the PAC’s summary but is separate from outside‑spending disclosures [8]; the PAC’s own website notes a name change history (formerly LaRouche PAC), which is relevant background when tracing filings or historical reporting but does not change the lack of reported independent expenditures for 2023–2024 in the datasets reviewed [9]. In short, every reviewed source that aggregates FEC filings indicates Promethean PAC did not spend independently for or against federal candidates or committees in the 2023–2024 cycle, and therefore no recipients are listed in those public disclosures [1] [2] [3].
