Four mechanisms that keep the money out of view

Amendments are separate documents. Yellow Tree Strategy’s $15,000 is in Amendment 2 to the 2022 Wyoming Way primary report. The base report shows only a summary total with no payee, no date and no purpose. Amendments to a filing can carry material the base filing does not.
The filing image is not the data. FEC bulk exports carry a memo_text field naming the ultimate beneficiary that the PDF does not display. Download the CSV, not the picture.
The state and federal reports are mirror images. Wyoming itemizes $43,000 to thirteen named candidates and lumps $6,387,160.86 as two lines; the FEC itemizes 309 non-Wyoming rows and shows the Teton checks nowhere. Neither is false. No rule requires either to show both halves.
The last hop is on paper. The PAC pays the candidate, the candidate pays the consultant, and the candidate’s report is handwritten at the county clerk. Mountain Movement Strategies appears in none of the 309 federal rows because it was never paid by the PAC.

Ranked by whether the records exist yet

1. Montana Freedom PAC, FEC C00943910. Federal, live, and its Schedule B is public today. Registered 17 March 2026, six weeks before its first check; treasurer Jorge Badillo; a private mailbox at 1319 F St NW in Washington. It holds $1,678,954.97 in unspent cash as of 30 June. Its filings are complete and public.

Middle Fork Strategies, EIN 92-2040834 — $252,000 from Western Futures Fund in 2023. A consulting firm’s name on a 501(c)(4). The closest structural analogue to Mountain Movement Strategies in the network.
Western States Strategies, EIN 93-1316666, Portland — $23,500 from WFF, and it appears as a $0.01 amend-add in the Wyoming Way PAC filings.
John Ewing for Omaha — $125,000 in April 2025, mayoral race complete, Nebraska ADC holds the full itemized vendor list. A finished race is where a consultant appears whole.
Hometown Heroes PAC — $75,000 of its money is 2025 and already filed with Idaho.
Wyoming Way PAC, 2022 Primary Amendment 1 — the only document in that series never read. The arithmetic fixes its size at exactly $4,191.36.
The Wyoming SOS entity record for Wyoming Way PAC — organizer and registered agent. If Sinclair Communications or Mike May appears, the Jackson post-office box on WFF’s 2022 return stops being a coincidence.

Unidentified

Wheel Dog PAC — $100,000, Washington DC 20004, no committee ID, shares a ZIP with Montana Freedom PAC’s mailbox.
Blue Majority Project — $25,000, Washington DC, no committee ID.
NMM — EIN 87-2460887, Lincoln NE, $200,000. The return gives no expansion of the initials.
Anchorage Care For… — EIN 92-2004228, $100,000. The name is truncated on the filing itself.
