UNITED POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION — $3.90 million in FEC Super PAC receipts

Disbursements of $3,913,004.64 sit slightly above receipts

Total disbursements of $3,913,004.64 exceed receipts of $3,899,902.93 by $13,101.71. Spend-through on these aggregates is about 100.3%. Super PAC Form 3X totals can show disbursements above receipts when prior-cycle cash, loans, or how LobbyVault rolls cycles into one pair of aggregates. The packet does not label cash on hand, so this page does not invent a starting balance.

Police and officers in the committee name do not prove the $3.91 million was independent expenditures about policing. Form 3X disbursement totals mix operating costs and IE activity. Open FEC schedules for C00664938 if you need the independent-expenditure breakout.

Spending a hair above receipts is a filing-arithmetic fact. It is not a finding of debt, and it is not a motive. Cite the two lines as they print: $3,899,902.93 received, $3,913,004.64 disbursed.

Individual contributions match receipts at $3,899,902.93

Individual contributions of $3,899,902.93 equal total receipts. On these aggregates, 100% of inflows are coded individual. A matching individual line is a category fact, not a donor list.

Super PAC rules allow large individual gifts that candidate committees cannot accept. Itemized contributor schedules, where required, are on FEC.gov. This overlay does not name those people and does not rank them.

Gaithersburg, Maryland, treasurer Zachary Bass

City and state of record are Gaithersburg, Maryland. Treasurer of record is Zachary Bass. Committee ID is C00664938. United Police Officers Association collides with labor-titled PACs in the PAC directory; the C-number is the match key.

Maryland as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Maryland races. Super PAC Form 3X activity can be reported in any federal contest the committee files. Zachary Bass identifies the statement of organization. The same treasurer name can appear on other committees; match on C00664938, not on the treasurer string alone.

Independent-expenditure Super PAC, not a candidate committee

These totals are not a candidate's Form 3 campaign report. They are not a police-department budget. They are $3,899,902.93 received, $3,913,004.64 disbursed, and $3,899,902.93 individual on a type-O committee. LobbyVault does not endorse the committee or any candidate.

Do not merge C00664938 with a similarly named 501 or a labor PAC that is not this FEC ID. Only the Super PAC Form 3X totals in this packet are citeable here.

How to use the overlay

Open the UNITED POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION committee page for the tables. Use the Super PAC tracker to compare type-O committees whose disbursement line slightly exceeds receipts. Use the PAC directory when Police Officers or Association in the title collides.

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

Association wording on a type-O Super PAC

UNITED POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION reads like a membership group. On these facts it is committee C00664938, an independent-expenditure-only Super PAC. The money lines are $3,899,902.93 received, $3,913,004.64 disbursed, and $3,899,902.93 individual. Disbursements sit $13,101.71 above receipts. That small overage can reflect prior-cycle cash, loans, or cycle rollups. The packet does not report cash on hand or debt.

Zachary Bass as treasurer and Gaithersburg, Maryland, as the city of record identify the filing. The same treasurer name appears on AMERICAN COALITION FOR INJURED VETERANS PAC in this Super PAC set. Match on C00664938. Police and officers in the title are name words. They are not a department budget and not a union dues ledger.

One hundred percent individual inflows plus a disbursement line slightly above receipts is the pairing to cite. Independent-expenditure-only status keeps these dollars off of candidate Form 3 ledgers. Maryland as the address of record does not confine independent expenditures to Maryland. Use the UNITED POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION committee page, the Super PAC tracker for other slight-overage type-O committees, and the PAC directory. Public records describe filings. They do not describe what any voter should do.

If you cite UNITED POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION, keep disbursements slightly above receipts: $3,913,004.64 against $3,899,902.93, individuals $3,899,902.93, committee C00664938. Zachary Bass and Gaithersburg, Maryland, complete the identity block. Association wording stays a filing phrase. The $13,101.71 overage is Form 3X arithmetic, not a debt finding invented here. Independent-expenditure-only Super PAC is the type, not a union dues ledger and not a candidate Form 3. Match on the C-number when the treasurer string appears on another Super PAC. FEC.gov holds the schedules not reprinted here.
