CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY — 2018 cycle receipts

Two keys: C00105668 and election cycle 2018

FEC cycle tags are even years. 2018 therefore covers the paired odd year as well. CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY receipts of $15,760,974.78 are the tagged window, not a single calendar year and not an election-night dump. Disbursements $15,589,552.19 follow the same tag.

Committee type Y is qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The packet sets isSuperPac = 0 for this committee-cycle row. Do not relabel the committee as a Super PAC from outside knowledge. Type Y is the stored class. Those flags travel with the row. They do not create extra dollar fields.

Internal links stay inside the packet: CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, the 2018 election cycle, all committees, and all FEC ties. Use them rather than inventing URLs.

Committee identity versus cycle identity

The committee dimension answers who filed. CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY filed. The cycle dimension answers which two-year tag. 2018 is the tag. Receipts $15,760,974.78 require both answers. Dropping either answer misstates the extract. Committee designation U is stored as unauthorized. Cash on hand in the extract is $707,334.16. That is a stored cash-on-hand field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are $2,001,694.14. That individual column is not the same number as cycle receipts $15,760,974.78; other receipt types can fill the gap without this page naming them.

2018 type Y party committee with $2,001,694.14 in individual contributions and $707,334.16 cash on hand. Use that sentence when comparing this URL to another California Democratic Party cycle page.

2018 receipts are not election-night math

2018 as a label does not rank CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY against peers. Peer ranking would need other committees’ dollars, which this packet does not print. The cycle hub is the place for that table.

A midterm fec two-year window describes the calendar, not the committee type. Type remains Y.

Arithmetic on California Democratic Party cycle totals

Two fields, two labels. Receipts: $15,760,974.78. Disbursements: $15,589,552.19. Committee: CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Cycle: 2018. Source: FEC.gov. That citation order prevents a downstream writer from dropping a side.

2018 type Y party committee with $2,001,694.14 in individual contributions and $707,334.16 cash on hand. That is a classification note, not a spending narrative.

Keep California Democratic Party separate from award files

Filer-entered names can change. CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY is the string in this extract. A later filing that uses a different spelling is still C00105668 on the overlay, but this snapshot keeps the packet string.

Banned inference: treating $15,760,974.78 as proof that donations paid for federal awards. They did not, on this record. The record is FEC receipts.

How to keep the join intact

Preserve both nouns in titles and headings: CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY and 2018. Preserve C00105668 when the display name is abbreviated to California Democratic Party. Preserve $15,760,974.78 as receipts, not as awards.
