Full record

Everything on file for Patrick Meighan, with its sources, grouped by topic.

Two political committees used the same filing address

Form 410 crossover · 2021–2022

Two political committees used the same filing address.

Separate Form 410 records document the same committee filing address for both Onward Culver City and Vote16 Culver City. Onward's December 2021 amendment lists that address with Nick Guthman as treasurer and Patrick Meighan as principal officer. Vote16's initial Form 410, executed July 4, 2022, lists the same committee address and also lists principal officer Ada Meighan-Thiel at that address; Michelle Zhou is treasurer. Onward's September 2022 amendment continues to use the same filing address while the committee is primarily formed to support Alex Fisch and Freddy Puza.

What the records establish: an address overlap between two separate political committees. The committees filed with the same address. The filings don't say why. The street address is intentionally not reproduced here.

Broader CCE record

$16,465 to Onward recipient-name variants through 2024

CCE's existing campaign-finance aggregate separately links Meighan to $13,365 under “Onward Culver City” and $3,100 under the committee name identifying support for Alex Fisch and Freddy Puza. That broader aggregate is not the same thing as this Form 461's six-month $13,540 Onward total.
