Independence USA PAC — 2016 cycle receipts

Independence USA PAC locked to 2016

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is INDEPENDENCE USA PAC (C00532705), stored as independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The other is election cycle 2016. $21,675,246.55 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2016 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not INDEPENDENCE USA PAC's receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract. Committee designation is U: unauthorized (designation U).

The individual-contribution share is so large that a reader may want names. This packet still has none. $4,574.73 cash is not a ranking against other Super PACs and is not proof the committee was empty of unpaid bills. 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 $21,675,246.55 funded federal awards.

C00532705 as type O with Super PAC flag 1

The committee page at /committees/C00532705/ is the overlay for C00532705. That hub is not limited to 2016. Quote $21,675,246.55 only with 2016 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Independence USA PAC in 2016 is the join. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract.

/committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00532705 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2016 total. Cash on hand is stored as $4,574.73. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $21,665,124.94, 100.0% of receipts $21,675,246.55. The remainder inside receipts is $10,121.61. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

The 2016 cycle hub is not this Super PAC cell

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; INDEPENDENCE USA PAC is one row in that extract. $21,675,246.55 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 $21,675,246.55 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2016 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Receipts, disbursements, and a $4,574.73 cash line

Receipts $21,675,246.55 and disbursements $21,734,156.24 are separate FEC columns. Disbursements $21,734,156.24 exceed receipts $21,675,246.55 by $58,909.69. Spending above receipts in one two-year window is a reporting pattern, not a motive claim and not a ranking. 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 $4,574.73. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $21,665,124.94, 100.0% of receipts $21,675,246.55. The remainder inside receipts is $10,121.61. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

A Super PAC receipt total is not a donor roster

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 public name overlaps. Do not invent donor names. Do not invent contractors or award recipients. The individual-contribution share is so large that a reader may want names. This packet still has none. $4,574.73 cash is not a ranking against other Super PACs and is not proof the committee was empty of unpaid bills.

Independent expenditures by other IDs remain another table. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here unless stored. Keep the citation to INDEPENDENCE USA PAC, C00532705, cycle 2016, receipts $21,675,246.55, disbursements $21,734,156.24, source FEC.gov. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract.
