AB PAC — 2020 cycle receipts

Committee plus cycle, not a restated hub

AB PAC is the committee name as stored. AB PAC is the packet string. If a reader knows a longer or shorter public nickname, still cite C00492140 so the row cannot be confused with another committee. Cycle 2020 receipts are $85,463,766.04. Disbursements are $84,733,024.58.

AB PAC is a hybrid PAC (FEC type V). The packet Super PAC flag is 1 while FEC type is V. Cite both fields as stored. Do not recode AB PAC into type O, and do not drop the Super PAC flag because the type code is V. 2020 is a closed FEC election cycle in this extract. 2020 is a presidential-year FEC two-year window.

Those dimensions are other LobbyVault joins. Cash on hand in this packet is $877,635.63 for AB PAC.
