NRA Political Victory Fund — 2016 cycle receipts

NRA Political Victory Fund locked to 2016

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND (C00053553), stored as qualified PAC (FEC type Q). The other is election cycle 2016. $21,591,111.40 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2016 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND's receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is Q: qualified PAC (FEC type Q). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Committee designation is B: lobbyist/registrant PAC (designation B).

Political Victory Fund is the stored committee name’s public short form on this URL. The official string remains NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND. Keep C00053553 on every citation so a similar public label cannot swallow the 2016 total. 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 $21,591,111.40 funded federal awards.

Cash on hand is stored as $1,467,286.60. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $21,252,709.45, 98.4% of receipts $21,591,111.40. The remainder inside receipts is $338,401.95. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

2016 is a presidential FEC window, not this PAC’s lifetime

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; NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND is one row in that extract. $21,591,111.40 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 $21,591,111.40 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2016 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Disbursements above receipts in the 2016 PVF cell

Receipts $21,591,111.40 and disbursements $22,612,663.36 are separate FEC columns. Disbursements $22,612,663.36 exceed receipts $21,591,111.40 by $1,021,551.96. 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 $1,467,286.60. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $21,252,709.45, 98.4% of receipts $21,591,111.40. The remainder inside receipts is $338,401.95. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

Qualified PAC coding is not a donor list

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. Political Victory Fund is the stored committee name’s public short form on this URL. The official string remains NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND. Keep C00053553 on every citation so a similar public label cannot swallow the 2016 total.

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