IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY — 2012 cycle receipts

How the Iowa Democratic Party meets 2012

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY (C00035600), stored as a qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The other is election cycle 2012. $15,004,400.84 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2012 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY's receipts in any other even-year window. Other even-year party cells for C00035600 are other slugs. Do not fold them into this 2012 pair.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Source: FEC.gov. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $15,004,400.84 funded federal awards. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $299,574.23. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $798,661.34.

C00035600 as a type Y party committee

Committee C00035600 files as IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY. Type Y is a qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The packet flags isSuperPac 0; do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. The committee hub at /committees/C00035600/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2012 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $15,004,400.84 would break the join. Individual contributions $798,661.34 sit well below receipts $15,004,400.84. Designation U is unauthorized. isSuperPac 0.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00035600 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2012 total.

2012 is a presidential tag, not a caucus count

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2012 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2012/ lists many committees; IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY is one row in that ranking extract. $15,004,400.84 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2012 is a presidential FEC two-year tag. The cycle hub still mixes every other top committee from that extract. This cell is C00035600 only.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $15,004,400.84 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2012 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

2012 party receipts versus the individual column

Receipts $15,004,400.84 and disbursements $14,877,845.05 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $15,004,400.84 and disbursements $14,877,845.05 sit within about one percent of each other. 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. Receipts sit slightly above disbursements. Cash on hand is stored as $299,574.23.

Mean dollars per donor cannot be computed: the packet has no contribution count and no unique-donor count. Unitemized receipts, if any, are not separated here. Quote $15,004,400.84 and $14,877,845.05 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $299,574.23. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $798,661.34.

What the Iowa Democratic Party–2012 join does not prove

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 famous name overlaps. Do not invent precinct chairs or donor names. Do not treat receipts as USAspending obligations.

Independent expenditures by other committees that mention the same public figure are other tables. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here. Keep the citation to IOWA DEMOCRATIC PARTY, C00035600, cycle 2012, receipts $15,004,400.84, disbursements $14,877,845.05, source FEC.gov.
