How DRIVE PAC meets the 2018 cycle

This page is a join, not a restatement of either hub. D.R.I.V.E. - DEM, REP, IND VOTER ED (THE PAC OF THE INT'L BRHD OF TEAMSTERS) is one axis. Election cycle 2018 is the other. $15,970,962.30 is only receipts that carry both the committee ID C00032979 and the cycle key. The committee overlay still holds other cycles. The 2018 overlay still holds other committees. Opening one hub and ignoring the other drops a side of the pair.

D.R.I.V.E. - DEM, REP, IND VOTER ED (THE PAC OF THE INT'L BRHD OF TEAMSTERS) is stored as qualified PAC (FEC type Q). The packet sets isSuperPac = 0 for this committee-cycle row. Do not relabel the committee as a Super PAC from outside knowledge. Type Q is the stored class. 2018 type Q PAC C00032979; 2016 and 2014 DRIVE ties are other cycle filters on the same ID. None of that recodes $15,970,962.30 into a donor census. Independent-expenditure line items, if they exist on other schedules, are not published as a separate dollar in this packet.

FEC.gov is the source. Committee cycleHistory supplied the receipt and disbursement pair unless the packet source note says otherwise. This prose does not add contribution counts, unique-donor counts, or names. It also does not add USAspending obligations. 2018 is a midterm FEC two-year window.

Receipts exceed disbursements by $279,776.69 in this extract ($15,970,962.30 in, $15,691,185.61 out). That gap is arithmetic on two cycle totals, not FEC cash on hand and not a prediction of leftover funds.

What this DRIVE PAC × 2018 page refuses to say

This page does not list donors, employers, occupations, or cities. Kind pac-cycle is committee × cycle. Inventing a donor would violate the packet. Contribution counts are also unpublished unless a packet field already stores them.

This page does not claim $15,970,962.30 funded USAspending awards, contracts, grants, or loans. Different datasets can share a year without sharing a payment trail. Correlation is not causation.
