AL FRANKEN FOR SENATE — 2008 cycle receipts

Two FEC dimensions: Al Franken for Senate and 2008

Al Franken for Senate in 2008 is a two-field cell. Receipts $22,502,124.00 sit on one field. Disbursements $21,066,834.00 sit on another. Committee name AL FRANKEN FOR SENATE and ID C00432278 identify the filer. Cycle 2008 identifies the window. Missing any of those pieces misquotes the extract.

This is not a restatement of the 2008 election-cycle hub, which includes every top committee in that window. It is not a restatement of the AL FRANKEN FOR SENATE committee hub, which includes other cycles. Only the overlap is this page.

Receipts $22,502,124.00 exceed disbursements $21,066,834.00 by $1,435,290.00. Cash on hand is stored as $1,435,291.00, a third field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are stored as $17,822,723.00. Committee designation is A (authorized committee (designation A)). Treat later amendments on FEC.gov as controlling if they disagree with this snapshot. Designation A marks an authorized committee on this row. Type S remains Senate. Whole-dollar figures are how this extract stored the pair.
