PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY — 2008 cycle receipts

Pennsylvania Democratic Party × 2008

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY (C00167130), stored as a qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The other is election cycle 2008. $15,023,859.14 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2008 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY's receipts in any other even-year window. Later even-year cells for C00167130 are other joins. Do not roll them into this 2008 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 $15,023,859.14 funded federal awards. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $252,887.58. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $557,095.95.

C00167130 as FEC type Y

Committee C00167130 files as PENNSYLVANIA 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/C00167130/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2008 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $15,023,859.14 would break the join. Individual contributions $557,095.95 are a small share of receipts $15,023,859.14. The remainder is other receipt lines, not named transfers invented here. Designation U.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00167130 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2008 total.

2008 presidential cycle besides this party cell

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2008 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2008/ lists many committees; PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY is one row in that ranking extract. $15,023,859.14 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2008 is a presidential FEC two-year window. The cycle hub still lists other state-party IDs as other rows.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $15,023,859.14 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2008 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Receipts near disbursements; small individual column

Receipts $15,023,859.14 and disbursements $14,961,299.15 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $15,023,859.14 and disbursements $14,961,299.15 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 and disbursements sit close together. Cash on hand is stored as $252,887.58.

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 $15,023,859.14 and $14,961,299.15 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $252,887.58.

Party receipts are not USAspending awards

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 county chairs or donor names. Quote FEC.gov columns only.
