Protect Kids Colorado is a Colorado ballot and advocacy actor tied in retained sources to 2026 initiatives #108, #109, and #110. The current repo evidence supports three distinct layers:
PROTECT KIDS COLORADO - ISSUE COMMITTEE, CO_ID 20245047398;99-0529211, subsection code 4;Do not treat every same-name row as one fully mapped legal entity without additional records. The current evidence supports a shared public brand and overlapping source layers, not a complete governance, donor, accounting, or control map.

All three rows list Erin Lee and Michele Austin as designated representatives. All three rows list 1/12/2026 as the date the 75% of required signatures threshold was met.
The July 9, 2026 retained TRACER bulk-export refresh covers 2024 through 2026 and reports 380 rows for CO_ID 20245047398, with accounting totals of $129,354.30 in contributions and $83,314.95 in expenditures. Reconciliation found that all 278 May rows persist unchanged and that the refresh adds 102 records. The accounting rule excludes every row marked Amended=Y and retains current non-amended replacement or deletion-offset rows.
High-signal source nodes in the slice include:
PROTECT KIDS COLORADO, 501(C)4: $43,644.09 in contribution rows; this is a strong source-of-funds lead, but donor origin and exact legal/accounting relation remain unresolved.PIKES PEAK CITIZENS FOR LIFE: $19,000 in contribution rows.$5,000 contribution row.TRUTH AND LIBERTY FOUNDATION donor identity: statewide TRACER bulk row RecordID 7351825 reports a non-amended $10,000 monetary contribution to PROTECT KIDS COLORADO - ISSUE COMMITTEE on 2026-04-30, filed 2026-05-16, from TRUTH AND LIBERTY FOUNDATION at 1 INNOVATION WAY, Woodland Park, CO 80863. This verifies the reported campaign-finance row only; it does not prove motive, control, coordination, sponsorship, program relationship, legal-entity equivalence, or campaign effect.CENTRE FOR LAW AND SOCIAL STRATEGY: a $2,500 contribution row.$487.97 printing reimbursement to CPAN, then offsets that row and replaces it with a $487.97 non-monetary expenditure to DTC. A corresponding in-kind contribution row states that the same-name Protect Kids Colorado 501(c)(4) reimbursed CPAN after CPAN originally paid DTC for signs and shipping. This supports a narrow printing-cost intermediary mechanism; it is not a retained net direct committee payment to CPAN and does not establish shared governance, control, or legal-entity equivalence.PURE LAUGHTER PRODUCTION: $41,114.96 in expenditure rows described as petition printing / petitions.#108, #109, and #110; no direct Taylor payee row appears in the retained TRACER slice.Captured filed-report PDFs / text extracts now narrow the public debt / loan lane: every captured RCE shows $0.00 loans received and $0.00 loan repayments, and the derived reconstruction found no separate debt / obligation / unpaid / payable keyword hit in captured report text. This does not rule out nonpublic obligations or payment through another entity.
Pure Laughter identity is better bounded but still not fully resolved. Colorado SOS records list Pure Laughter Productions, Inc., ID 20191323987, as a good-standing Colorado nonprofit corporation formed 2019-04-16 at the same Twin Rock Court address as the TRACER payee rows, with registered agent JEREMY WAYDE GOODALL; ProPublica identifies Pure Laughter Productions, EIN 83-4434045, care-of % MELISSA GOODALL, at the same address. These records strengthen the vendor-identity lead but do not prove contract terms, subcontracting, signature gathering, or Taylor payment routing.
Taylor Petition Management identity is also better bounded. Colorado SOS business confirmation identifies Taylor Petition Management LLC as a Colorado limited liability company formed 2013-07-24, with registered agent Tracy M Taylor, address 1069 Glengary PL, and status Delinquent. This does not prove PKC contract, invoice, payment, or signature count.
The captured resource files support practical petition-circulation mechanics: volunteer-circulator badges, registered-voter signer requirements, no self-signing, notary handling, petition-number tracking, county captain / petition leader roles, confidential pickup/drop-off locations, and suggested circulation venues such as churches, parks, libraries, storefronts, parking lots, sporting events, family gatherings, and rail stations.
Kim Monson / KLZ pages and preserved audio support public statements by Kevin Lundberg that the campaign used more than 3,300 petition carriers, received significant church participation, and viewed the ballot measures as a way to shape election conversations and candidate accountability. Treat those as public statements / campaign-aligned reporting until independently verified against official signature and audio records.
Winsome Ministries evidence now supports a faith-community volunteer and messaging-routing mechanism: Winsome event pages route interested supporters toward Protect Kids Colorado petition-carrier training, materials, and local coordination, and CauseIQ-rendered Winsome text says Winsome coordinated volunteers for Protect Kids Colorado and distributed Did You Know? informational sheets. That evidence does not prove funding, control, sponsorship, or legal coordination.
The prior Wallnau media-bridge summary supports Lance Wallnau platforming Erin Lee's Colorado HB1312 account and directing audience attention toward Protect Kids Colorado / Art Club materials. That is a media and mobilization mechanism, not proof of funding, launch governance, control, or campaign effect.
The May 2026 CTR refresh adds another media / litigation-context source. CTR reports Erin Lee and Protect Kids Colorado-aligned criticism of Colorado LGBTQ protections after the conversion-therapy ruling, including public commentary around HB26-1322, HB25-1312 / the Kelly Loving Act, and hopes for broader legal challenges. Treat this as public advocacy and litigation-posture reporting unless underlying case filings, organizational statements, or court records are separately retained.
A captured March 2026 Next 9NEWS video embedded by Colorado Public Education Watch reports that Wallnau helped launch Protect Kids Colorado. A newly processed Moms for America 20th Anniversary Day 2 video strengthens that point: the generated ASR around 00:25:46-00:27:30, now checked against an independent bounded clip ASR for 00:25:40-00:27:05, captures the speaker introduced as Wallnau describing work in Colorado with Protect Kids Colorado, mobilizing mothers, starting a ballot measure, and the mobilization arising from his conversation with moms. Treat this as direct video-source support for Wallnau's public self-description of a mobilization / launch role, while still leaving legal authority, governance, funding, vendor direction, and campaign effect unresolved.
