BLACKPAC Super PAC — 2020 cycle receipts

BLACKPAC joined to presidential cycle 2020

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is BLACKPAC (C00609388), stored as an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The other is election cycle 2020. $44,044,053.97 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2020 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not BLACKPAC's receipts in any other even-year window. Other PAC-suffixed Super PACs in this slice (AB PAC, AMERICA PAC) are other IDs. This join is C00609388 only.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. Source: FEC.gov. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $44,044,053.97 funded federal awards. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $2,352,147.35. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $23,267,708.06.

C00609388 as type O, isSuperPac 1

Committee C00609388 files as BLACKPAC. Type O is an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. The committee hub at /committees/C00609388/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2020 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $44,044,053.97 would break the join. Individual contributions $23,267,708.06 against receipts $44,044,053.97. The name does not publish a contributor race or ethnicity table.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00609388 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2020 total.

2020 cycle hub versus this Super PAC

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2020 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2020/ lists many committees; BLACKPAC is one row in that ranking extract. $44,044,053.97 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2020 is a presidential even-year tag. Other 2020 Super PACs remain other ties.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $44,044,053.97 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2020 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

2020 receipts above 2020 disbursements

Receipts $44,044,053.97 and disbursements $42,039,017.86 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $2,005,036.11 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, or refunds. Receipts exceed disbursements. Cash on hand is stored as $2,352,147.35.

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 $44,044,053.97 and $42,039,017.86 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $2,352,147.35. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $23,267,708.06.

The compact name is a brand string, not a headcount

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. Do not invent donors. Do not treat the committee name as a census. No USAspending claim.
