ACTBLUE — 2014 cycle receipts

ActBlue joined to the 2014 cycle

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is ACTBLUE (C00401224), stored as a hybrid PAC (FEC type W). The other is election cycle 2014. $280,314,315.83 is the receipt total on that intersection from cycle-details topCommittees. It is not the 2014 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not ACTBLUE's receipts in any other even-year window. ActBlue 2016 is a later overlay on this ID. WinRed is a type V committee in a 2026 packet. DCCC 2018 is a type Y House committee.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Source: FEC.gov committee receipts by election cycle. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $280,314,315.83 funded federal awards.

C00401224 stored as type W

Committee C00401224 files as ACTBLUE. Type W is a hybrid PAC (FEC type W). The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. The committee hub at /committees/C00401224/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2014 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $280,314,315.83 would break the join. 2014 is a midterm even-year tag and the earliest ActBlue overlay in this slice. The 2016 presidential-year ActBlue book is larger; that comparison is across URLs, not a running balance here.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00401224 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2014 total.

2014 cycle hub versus this hybrid PAC

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2014 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2014/ lists many committees; ACTBLUE is one row in that ranking extract. $280,314,315.83 belongs only to this committee in that window. The 2014 cycle hub still lists party committees as other top rows. ActBlue’s 2014 cell is one hybrid PAC’s pair.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $280,314,315.83 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2014 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

2014 receipts above 2014 disbursements

Receipts $280,314,315.83 and disbursements $274,577,777.94 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $5,736,537.89 in this extract. Neither figure is an independent-expenditure-only total unless the packet’s Super PAC flag says so. This extract does not split operating expenditures, transfers, refunds, or cash-on-hand. Receipts exceed disbursements. The gap is two columns, not a fee schedule and not a unique-donor census.

Mean dollars per donor cannot be computed: the packet has no contribution count and no unique-donor count. Unitemized receipts, if any, are not separated here. Quote $280,314,315.83 and $274,577,777.94 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov.

2014 ActBlue is not 2016 ActBlue and not WinRed

This join does not name donors, unique contributors, or employers. It does not convert campaign receipts into USAspending obligations. FEC reports and federal award tables are different datasets even when a famous name overlaps. No contributor names. No candidate earmark table. No USAspending link.
