Super PACs in the Leading the Future network have continued paying millions of dollars to Nevada LLCs that election watchdogs allege conceal the actual recipients, WIRED reported after reviewing federal campaign finance records. Think Big paid Lantern Production Consultants around $20 million since last year; American Mission paid Summit Ridge Media Group around $13 million between December 2025 and September 2026.

The network has raised over $140 million to influence campaigns aligned with AI-industry priorities. The Campaign Legal Center filed a disclosure complaint in May, while Leading the Future says it complies with applicable laws. The Federal Election Commission lacks the four-commissioner quorum needed to decide complaints.
