This source cluster supports a bounded coverage-normalized test of whether the repo's Colorado conservative operational-infrastructure pattern is statewide or concentrated in the deeper Advance / Colorado Springs / El Paso source base.
The current evidence supports a hybrid answer. Statewide and non-El Paso recurrence is real in the ballot / petition / mixed-committee vendor layer and in Brad Miller / Miller Farmer school-governance legal infrastructure. The densest direct local and school-board finance evidence remains Colorado Springs / El Paso, partly because the repo has deeper municipal, TRACER, and intermediary records there.
The new capture preserved 2024-2026 Colorado TRACER contribution and expenditure slices for Weld, Mesa, Douglas, Jefferson, Pueblo, Garfield, Montrose, La Plata, Eagle, and Montezuma counties. Those slices are compared with already retained 2018-2026 evidence for Colorado Dawn, Advance Colorado, WELD STRONG, Coloradans for Accountable Government, Springs Opportunity Fund, Colorado Springs Safe Neighborhood Coalition, D11 / D20 school-board vehicles, Title Board / West Group records, and Brad Miller / Miller Farmer school-governance records.
Two derived tables carry the analysis layer:
operational-infrastructure-crosswalk-2018-2026.csv: actor, mechanism, source node, flow type, county / scope, lane, amount, source strength, dedup group, relationship label, and caution.source-depth-by-county-lane-year.csv: county / scope, lane, year, source type, records captured, committees reviewed, raw packages, summaries, gaps, and coverage rating.
- The new county slices did not reproduce the full Colorado Springs / El Paso intermediary stack. Cole Communications and Victor's Canvassing remain strongest in the El Paso, statewide recall, and mixed statewide-committee evidence already retained.
- Same-actor vendor recurrence outside El Paso is strongest for Axiom Strategies, Majority Strategies, Blitz Canvassing, Timor Strategies, and Victor's Canvassing. The Weld slice shows Majority Strategies spending by American Jobs and Growth PAC and Axiom Strategies spending by Community Forward. The Douglas slice shows Axiom Strategies direct-mail spending by GOP-endorsed DCSD candidate committees. The Mesa slice now shows exact Timor Strategies and Victor's Canvassing rows for Committee to Elect Cody Davis in addition to unresolved
AXIOM rows, so Mesa is no longer just an AXIOM ambiguity.
- WELD STRONG remains the strongest non-El Paso finance bridge from the existing corpus: Colorado Dawn gave it
$400,000 in 2024, and the WELD STRONG transaction slice shows a campaign-vendor bundle including Axiom Strategies, Majority Strategies, Timor Strategies, and Go Big Media.
- Coloradans for Accountable Government remains a statewide / mixed-lane bridge: the current repo classifies its purpose as supporting state House, state Senate, county commissioner, municipal, and school-board candidates, and its vendor bundle includes Go Big Media, Timor Strategies, Axiom Strategies, and Victor's Canvassing.
- Douglas is the strongest new local-school-board comparison case. The county slice shows Axiom Strategies direct-mail spending by the GOP-endorsed Common Sense DCSD candidate committees. It also shows Douglas County Parents supporting the opposing Community's Voice, Community's Choice slate, which is useful as a counterexample: local school-board infrastructure exists outside El Paso, but not every such node is conservative infrastructure.
- Brad Miller / Miller Farmer adds a different non-El Paso recurrence mechanism: legal and governance capacity rather than campaign vendor spending. The current repo has direct or quasi-primary records for Montezuma-Cortez, Montrose, Pueblo 70, and ERBOCES, plus reporting that places Miller in a broader Jeffco-to-Woodland Park continuity frame.
- Garfield shows local school-board recall / legal-fee infrastructure outside El Paso. The retained TRACER and board-material source cluster supports the Legal Fees for Tony May committee and Hoskin Farina & Kampf legal-fee rows, while reporting supports Sherronna Bishop's recall-defense organizing role. The repo still lacks a direct filing showing Bishop as a paid consultant or committee officer.
- La Plata, Eagle, and Montezuma are useful source-base controls. Their TRACER slices show local and school-board finance activity, but this pass did not establish same-actor recurrence from the hypothesized conservative operational network in La Plata or Eagle. Montezuma has Miller Farmer legal-governance recurrence through earlier official minutes, not through the
2024-2026 county finance scan.
- The county TRACER exports are not party-coded. They reveal committee and vendor activity, but they do not by themselves classify every actor as conservative, progressive, school-board, ballot, or local-governance infrastructure.
- The new direct TRACER county scans cover
2024-2026 only. Older comparison-county activity remains uneven unless already captured in the repo.
- Municipal campaign-finance detail is still much richer for Colorado Springs than for most comparison counties.
- Board-portal and district-governance records are uneven by county. The Miller Farmer and Garfield clusters are deeper because earlier passes captured specific board, packet, and article records.
- The crosswalk separates same-actor recurrence from functional analogy. Functional analogy rows are evidence of comparable mechanisms, not evidence of a shared network.
- Dedup groups are necessary because Form 990, TRACER, municipal, and FEC rows can describe the same underlying transfer or spending path.
The pattern is not simply statewide and not simply an El Paso artifact. It is hybrid by lane:
statewide / multi-county: ballot-process infrastructure, petition vendors, statewide issue committees, dark-money and mixed-lane donor vehicles, WELD STRONG, Coloradans for Accountable Government, and some repeat campaign vendors.strongly source-rich El Paso: Springs Opportunity Fund, D11 / D20 intermediaries, Colorado Springs Safe Neighborhood Coalition, Cole Communications, Colorado Springs municipal records, and direct school-board vendor bundles.non-El Paso school-governance recurrence: Miller Farmer / Brad Miller records across Montrose, Montezuma, Pueblo, ERBOCES, and reported Jeffco / Woodland Park continuity.comparison controls / unresolved: La Plata, Eagle, and parts of Montezuma show local school-board or local-campaign activity without clear same-actor recurrence in the bounded scan.
