Street, NW Washington, DC 20463 RE" Request for Additional Information 2 Dear Ms. Sikorsky: 8 ^ '•I 10 ip 2 ^ g I write in response to your request for additional information dated December 4, 2018. Regarding Item #1: lowans for a Progressive Tomorrow has amended the Schedule 5-E to include the aggregate calendar year-to-date total. Regarding Item #2- You requested clarification on the lack of contributions on Line 6 of FEC Form 5. Your request assumes that simply because we reported independent expenditures that a contribution also should have been reported. That is not a correct assumption. Many people may give to an organization for reasons unrelated independent expenditures. As you noted in the RFAI, itemization is required for each contributor who donated more than $200 to further the independent expenditure(s). No contributions accepted by lowans for a Progressive Tomorrow were sohcited or received "for the purpose of furthering the reported independent expenditure." See 11 C.F.R. § 109.10(e)(l)(vi). Accordingly, lowans for a Progressive Tomorrow had not contributions to report. Please note that we are aware of the FEC guidance dated October 4, 2018, which directs reporting entities to identify each person who made contributions in excess of $200 within the calendar year, together with the date and amount of such contribution for aU independent expenditures made after September 18, 2018. Regarding Item #3: We have confirmed that the dates of dissemination of the three independent expenditures reported on Schedule 5-E are correct.
