A new pro-Ted Cruz super PAC is spending tens of thousands of dollars on robocalls in South Carolina, but its financial backers will likely remain unreported until long after the first-in-the-South primary.

The group “Americans for Cruz” formed Dec. 17, but didn’t register with the Federal Election Commission until the end of the year. It reported $100 in un-itemized receipts in its year-end report. Just days later, Americans for Cruz disclosed spending $40,000 to Infocision Management Corp for “voter contact calls over several weeks,” according to a recent filing.


Americans for Cruz is just the latest super PAC supporting Cruz to spend big in South Carolina. The Texas Republican has been leading in polls and other groups like Keep the Promise have paid field staffers trying to galvanize evangelical and conservative voters before the Feb. 20 primary.

The next FEC quarterly filing deadline is April 15.

Kyle Manning, who is listed on FEC documents as the treasurer for the group, did not respond to a request for comment.
