Michigan Democratic State Central — 2008 receipts

Michigan Democratic State Central locked to 2008

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE (C00031054), stored as party committee (FEC type Y). The other is election cycle 2008. $20,095,874.87 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2008 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE's receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is Y: party committee (FEC type Y). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Committee designation is U: unauthorized (designation U).

MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE is the stored label for C00031054. Another state’s Democratic state central committee is a different ID. Keep 2008 attached so later cycles cannot be summed into this cell. 2008 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 $20,095,874.87 funded federal awards.

C00031054 as party type Y, designation U, flag 0

The committee page at /committees/C00031054/ is the overlay for C00031054. That hub is not limited to 2008. Quote $20,095,874.87 only with 2008 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Michigan Democratic State Central in 2008 is the join. Stored type is Y: party committee (FEC type Y). 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 C00031054 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2008 total. Cash on hand is stored as $468,234.91. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $7,767,925.05, 38.7% of receipts $20,095,874.87. The remainder inside receipts is $12,327,949.82. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

The 2008 cycle hub still mixes every other committee

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2008 is that tag. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2008/ lists many committees; MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE is one row in that extract. $20,095,874.87 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2008 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 $20,095,874.87 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2008 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Individual gifts $7,767,925.05 of $20,095,874.87

Receipts $20,095,874.87 and disbursements $19,742,490.54 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $20,095,874.87 exceed disbursements $19,742,490.54 by $353,384.33. 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 $468,234.91. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $7,767,925.05, 38.7% of receipts $20,095,874.87. The remainder inside receipts is $12,327,949.82. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

A state central committee total is not named donors

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. MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE is the stored label for C00031054. Another state’s Democratic state central committee is a different ID. Keep 2008 attached so later cycles cannot be summed into this cell.

Independent expenditures by other IDs remain another table. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here unless stored. Keep the citation to MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, C00031054, cycle 2008, receipts $20,095,874.87, disbursements $19,742,490.54, source FEC.gov.
