The Lincoln Project convinced Democratic donors to part with $39,384,397 in Q3. It burned a staggering $13 million on operating expenditures, made $23.9M of IEs (mostly routed into its founders firms), and ended with $13.2M on hand.
Among @ProjectLincoln's Q3 donors, $300,000 from liberal dark money group Sixteen Thirty Fund
Catering to #Resist donors has been a lucrative reversal of fortune for the Lincoln Project's founders. Reed Galen's Summit Strategic was paid $18.8M in Q3, Ron Steslow's TUSK Digital got $8.7M, Kurt Bardella's Endeavor Strategy got $153K Image

#NeverTrump @ProjectLincoln raised $16.8M in Q2, drawing several six and seven figure checks from a handful of Democratic megadonors, spent $4.6M on independent expenditures, $2.28M on operating expenditures, and ended the quarter with $10.8M on hand.
Improving from Q1 when Lincoln Project faced accusations of being a ScamPAC on account of 90% of their expenditures being paid out to Lincoln Project members and their firms, only ~86% of its operating expenditures/IEs went through Lincoln Project members and their firms in Q2.
That's not to say they pocketed it all...the FCC's political file database indicates at least $3M in ad buys were made and $1.36M in Facebook ads were purchased as of June 30th.

Calling it The Mercedes Project probably would've been a little too on-the-nose.
Lincoln Project members Reed Galen (Summit Strategic Communications) and Ron Steslow (TUSK Digital) appreciate your support. ImageImageImage
