Gober Bold Frontiers Fund (“Fund”) is a joint fundraising committee established by the following committees: Chris Gober for Texas, Grassroots Organizing for Better Election Results PAC (“GOBER PAC”), and Gober Lone Star Fund. Fund will allocate all receipts according to the following formula (“Allocation Formula”):
(i) The first $3,500 of any contribution by an individual or non-multicandidate federal PAC, or the first $5,000 of any contribution by a multicandidate federal PAC, will be allocated to Chris Gober for Texas’s 2026 primary election account for debt retirement. Contributions allocated to Chris Gober for Texas and designated to the repayment of outstanding lawful debts incurred in relation to previous elections shall be reallocated if it receives sufficient contributions to pay such debts;
(ii) The next $3,500 of any contribution by an individual or non-multicandidate federal PAC, or the next $5,000 of any contribution by a multicandidate federal PAC, will be allocated to Chris Gober for Texas’s 2026 general election account;
(iii) The next $5,000 of any contribution will be allocated to GOBER PAC; and
(iv) The remaining $5,000 of any contribution will be allocated to Gober Lone Star Fund.
Notwithstanding the default Allocation Formula: (i) any donor may designate their contribution to a specific participating committee pursuant to 11 C.F.R. § 102.17(c); (ii) if any portion of a contribution causes a contributor to exceed the contribution limit to one or more of the participating committees, then that portion of the contribution will be reallocated to the other participating committees to the fullest extent allowed by law; and (iii) if any portion of a contribution causes a contributor to exceed the contribution limit to all participating committees, or the contribution is not otherwise legally permissible, then that portion of the contribution will be refunded to the contributor.
Contributions are subject to the amount limits and source restrictions under federal law. The legal maximum that an individual or non-multicandidate federal PAC may contribute to Fund for the remainder of 2026 is $17,000 (or $34,000 per couple), whereas a federal multicandidate PAC may contribute $20,000.
Texas law requires Gober Lone Star Fund to itemize information about individuals whose contributions exceed $110 in a reporting period and use its best efforts to obtain and report the name, address, and principal occupation of individuals whose contributions exceed $870 in a reporting period.
