DEMOCRATIC COLORADO — $4.07 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

A $4.07 million Super PAC with a $1 individual line

Individual contributions of $1.00 against $4,073,075.00 in receipts means virtually the entire inflow sits in other FEC receipt categories this packet does not name. DEMOCRATIC COLORADO is the extreme case of a Super PAC that is not funded on the individual line in these aggregates. The $1.00 figure is a filing fact. It is not a rounding story invented here.

Other lawful Super PAC receipt types — other committees, transfers, offsets, or other Form 3X lines — can fill a receipt total when the individual line is empty. Itemized schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov for C00817015. LobbyVault does not invent the unnamed $4,073,074.00.

Democratic and Colorado in the committee name collide with party-committee search and with state-party filings. The C-number is the match key. Independent-expenditure-only status means Super PAC Form 3X, not a state party committee's report and not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report.

Receipts equal disbursements at $4,073,075

Receipts and disbursements both print as $4,073,075.00. That 100% spend-through is a Form 3X pairing. Equal lines are not a bank-account statement. The packet does not report cash on hand.

Colorado in the name does not prove the $4.07 million was independent expenditures inside Colorado. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity until schedules are opened. This page does not split ads from overhead.

Denver address versus the Super PAC type

City and state of record are Denver, Colorado. Treasurer of record is Sara Ashley Stevens. Committee ID is C00817015. Denver as the address of record matches the Colorado in the title; that still does not confine independent expenditures to Colorado races. Super PAC activity can be reported in any federal contest the committee files.

Sara Ashley Stevens identifies the statement of organization. Citing the treasurer is an identity check, not a biography. Party-worded Super PAC names are still type-O committees when flagged as independent-expenditure-only.

Not a candidate committee and not a state party ledger

These totals are not a candidate's authorized-committee receipts. They are not the Colorado Democratic Party's state filings. They are $4,073,075.00 received, $4,073,075.00 disbursed, and $1.00 individual on a type-O Super PAC. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Do not merge C00817015 with a similarly named 527 or state committee unless that entity's FEC ID is this one. Keep $4,073,075.00 labeled as Super PAC receipts.

How to read the overlay

Open the DEMOCRATIC COLORADO committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees whose individual line is near zero. Use the PAC directory when Democratic Colorado collides with party titles.

Cite FEC.gov Form 3X aggregates as the source. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

Party wording on a type-O Super PAC with a $1 individual line

DEMOCRATIC COLORADO's name will pull party-committee searchers. The filing type in this packet is independent-expenditure-only Super PAC, committee C00817015. It is not the Colorado Democratic Party's state committee and not a candidate's authorized committee. The money lines are $4,073,075.00 received, $4,073,075.00 disbursed, and $1.00 individual. Virtually all of the $4,073,075.00 sits in unnamed FEC receipt categories.

Sara Ashley Stevens as treasurer and Denver, Colorado, as the city of record identify the Super PAC. Denver matches the Colorado in the title. That still does not confine independent expenditures to Colorado races and does not convert Form 3X into a state-party report. Matched receipts and disbursements are not cash on hand.

Researchers who need the unnamed receipt types must open FEC schedules for C00817015. This overlay will not invent them. Use the DEMOCRATIC COLORADO committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other near-zero-individual type-O committees, and the PAC directory when Democratic Colorado collides with party titles. Keep $4,073,075.00 labeled as Super PAC receipts. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

If you cite DEMOCRATIC COLORADO, lead with the $1.00 individual line against $4,073,075.00 received and $4,073,075.00 disbursed, committee C00817015. Sara Ashley Stevens and Denver, Colorado, complete the identity block. Party wording in the title does not change the type: independent-expenditure-only Super PAC, not a state party committee and not a candidate Form 3. The unnamed remainder of receipts stays on FEC.gov. LobbyVault indexes Form 3X aggregates. It does not assign a party score or voting advice.
