CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND — 2018 cycle receipts

Reading CLF receipts inside 2018

CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND reported $157,809,211.59 in 2018 receipts on FEC.gov. That sentence is the join. The committee type is O (independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O)). isSuperPac = 1. Disbursements: $158,738,895.07. Source note: committee receipts by election cycle from cycle-details topCommittees. Committee pages, not donor pages.

2018 is a midterm FEC two-year window. Odd-year activity inside a two-year FEC cycle is not split out. This file does not publish monthly receipts or primary-versus-general splits. Disbursements exceed receipts by $929,683.48 in this extract ($158,738,895.07 out, $157,809,211.59 in). Spending above cycle receipts can reflect prior-cash use, transfers, or timing; this packet does not itemize those mechanics.

Do not invent donors. Do not claim $157,809,211.59 funded federal awards. FEC individual and committee receipts are a different dataset from USAspending.gov obligations even when calendar years overlap.

The CLF hub is not this 2018 cell

CLF as stored here is CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND. Do not substitute a caucus, a leadership office, or a candidate’s personal Form 3. Those are other filers. $157,809,211.59 follows C00504530 only.

Amended reports can rename a committee or restate receipts. This prose copies the packet name CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND and the packet dollars $157,809,211.59 / $158,738,895.07. FEC.gov remains the original system of record.

Cycle 2018 without other committees

The cycle overlay lives at the 2018 election-cycle link. That page is every committee in the window. This page is one committee. Mixing the two totals would double-count CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND if someone then compared the mix to the hub.

2018 receipts for CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND are $157,809,211.59. Other cycles on the same ID are unpublished here. Ask the committee overlay for those years.

Gaps, zeros, and matching totals

Disbursements $158,738,895.07 can include operating costs, transfers out, and independent expenditures depending on the filer. The packet does not itemize those uses.

Limits of the packet facts

Do not attach a motive to $157,809,211.59. Type O and isSuperPac = 1 are labels. They are not proof of coordination, independence, or intent. Coordination findings live in other FEC matters, not in this aggregate.

Do not merge CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP FUND with a similarly named Super PAC, Carey PAC, or party account that has a different ID. C00504530 is the key.
