Catherine Cortez Masto for Senate — 2016 receipts

Catherine Cortez Masto for Senate locked to 2016

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO FOR SENATE (C00575548), stored as Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The other is election cycle 2016. $19,968,577.25 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2016 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO FOR SENATE's receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is S: Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Committee designation is P: principal campaign committee (designation P).

Principal (P) is an FEC designation, not a ranking against unauthorized committees. Keep CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO FOR SENATE and C00575548 together. Other Nevada Senate committees are other IDs. 2016 is a presidential-year FEC two-year window in this extract. The even-year tag is not a single calendar year of January-only activity. Source: FEC.gov committee receipts by election cycle from committee cycleHistory. Committee pages, not donor pages. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $19,968,577.25 funded federal awards.

C00575548 as Senate type S, designation P, flag 0

The committee page at /committees/C00575548/ is the overlay for C00575548. That hub is not limited to 2016. Quote $19,968,577.25 only with 2016 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Cortez Masto for Senate in 2016 is the join. Stored type is S: Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page.

/committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00575548 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2016 total. Cash on hand is stored as $220,554. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $16,584,262.46, 83.1% of receipts $19,968,577.25. The remainder inside receipts is $3,384,314.79. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

The 2016 Senate window is not a Super PAC page

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2016 is that tag. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2016/ lists many committees; CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO FOR SENATE is one row in that extract. $19,968,577.25 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2016 is a presidential-year FEC two-year window in this extract. The even-year tag is not a single calendar year of January-only activity.

/ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $19,968,577.25 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2016 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Principal-committee receipts versus disbursements

Receipts $19,968,577.25 and disbursements $19,005,870 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $19,968,577.25 exceed disbursements $19,005,870 by $962,707.25. The gap is arithmetic on two FEC columns, not a cash-on-hand substitute unless a cash line is present and equal to that figure. 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 unless those columns appear in facts. Cash on hand is stored as $220,554. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $16,584,262.46, 83.1% of receipts $19,968,577.25. The remainder inside receipts is $3,384,314.79. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.
