Kaine for Virginia — 2012 cycle receipts

Kaine for Virginia locked to 2012

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is KAINE FOR VIRGINIA (C00495358), stored as Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The other is election cycle 2012. $18,045,722 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2012 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not KAINE FOR VIRGINIA'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).

Do not add the Virginia party committee’s 2012 receipts into this cell. Disbursements $17,918,247 nearly match receipts. Overlay /committees/C00495358/ is the committee hub for this ID only. 2012 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 $18,045,722 funded federal awards.

C00495358 as Senate type S, designation P, flag 0

The committee page at /committees/C00495358/ is the overlay for C00495358. That hub is not limited to 2012. Quote $18,045,722 only with 2012 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Kaine for Virginia in 2012 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 C00495358 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2012 total. Cash on hand is stored as $127,474. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $16,084,516, 89.1% of receipts $18,045,722. The remainder inside receipts is $1,961,206. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

2012 is a presidential Senate window, not a party page

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2012 is that tag. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2012/ lists many committees; KAINE FOR VIRGINIA is one row in that extract. $18,045,722 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2012 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 $18,045,722 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2012 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Principal-committee receipts $18,045,722 versus disbursements

Receipts $18,045,722 and disbursements $17,918,247 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $18,045,722 exceed disbursements $17,918,247 by $127,475. 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 $127,474. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $16,084,516, 89.1% of receipts $18,045,722. The remainder inside receipts is $1,961,206. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

A Virginia Senate committee is not the state party cell

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. Do not add the Virginia party committee’s 2012 receipts into this cell. Disbursements $17,918,247 nearly match receipts. Overlay /committees/C00495358/ is the committee hub for this ID only.

Independent expenditures by other IDs remain another table. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here unless stored.
