NRA Political Victory Fund — 2018 cycle receipts

NRA Political Victory Fund locked to 2018

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 2018. $19,220,640.05 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2018 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).

Individual contributions $18,981,981.52 nearly fill 2018 receipts. That share still names no donors. Cash on hand is $1,784,857.51. Keep the 2018 tag on every citation. 2018 is a midterm 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 $19,220,640.05 funded federal awards.

C00053553 as type Q, designation B, flag 0 in 2018

The committee page at /committees/C00053553/ is the overlay for C00053553. That hub is not limited to 2018. Quote $19,220,640.05 only with 2018 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. NRA Political Victory Fund in 2018 is the join. 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.

/committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00053553 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2018 total. Cash on hand is stored as $1,784,857.51. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $18,981,981.52, 98.8% of receipts $19,220,640.05. The remainder inside receipts is $238,658.53. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

2018 is a midterm window, not the 2016 PVF cell

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2018 is that tag. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2018/ lists many committees; NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA POLITICAL VICTORY FUND is one row in that extract. $19,220,640.05 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2018 is a midterm 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 $19,220,640.05 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2018 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Receipts $19,220,640.05 versus disbursements $18,903,069.14

Receipts $19,220,640.05 and disbursements $18,903,069.14 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $19,220,640.05 exceed disbursements $18,903,069.14 by $317,570.91. 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 $1,784,857.51. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $18,981,981.52, 98.8% of receipts $19,220,640.05. The remainder inside receipts is $238,658.53. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

Do not merge 2018 PVF dollars into another even year

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. Individual contributions $18,981,981.52 nearly fill 2018 receipts. That share still names no donors. Cash on hand is $1,784,857.51. Keep the 2018 tag on every citation.

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