On Oct. 12, 2026, the FEC sent Alme’s campaign a request for additional information about its July quarterly report. It lists five items: contributions that appear to exceed the legal limits, contributions received after the primary but designated for it, a contribution from a limited liability company, a contribution from an unregistered committee, and joint fundraising committees not disclosed on the campaign’s statement of organization. The campaign’s response is due Nov. 16.
His October report also shows the SpaceX PAC at $11,250 for the general election. The limit for a multicandidate PAC is $5,000 per election, and no refund appears through Sept. 30.
