Planned Parenthood Votes — 2018 cycle receipts

Planned Parenthood Votes locked to 2018

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is PLANNED PARENTHOOD VOTES (C00489799), stored as independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The other is election cycle 2018. $21,234,502.69 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2018 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not PLANNED PARENTHOOD VOTES's receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract. Committee designation is U: unauthorized (designation U).

Designation U means unauthorized in the FEC codebook, not a finding about purpose. Keep Planned Parenthood Votes, C00489799, and 2018 in the same sentence whenever the receipt total is reused. 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 $21,234,502.69 funded federal awards.

C00489799 as type O, designation U, flag 1

The committee page at /committees/C00489799/ is the overlay for C00489799. That hub is not limited to 2018. Quote $21,234,502.69 only with 2018 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Planned Parenthood Votes in 2018 is the join. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract.

/committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00489799 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2018 total. Cash on hand is stored as $3,634,683.28. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $18,230,967.70, 85.9% of receipts $21,234,502.69. The remainder inside receipts is $3,003,534.99. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

The 2018 midterm window is not this Super PAC’s lifetime

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; PLANNED PARENTHOOD VOTES is one row in that extract. $21,234,502.69 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 $21,234,502.69 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2018 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Cash on hand $3,634,683.28 beside the receipt column

Receipts $21,234,502.69 and disbursements $18,373,481.98 are separate FEC columns. Receipts $21,234,502.69 exceed disbursements $18,373,481.98 by $2,861,020.71. 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 $3,634,683.28. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $18,230,967.70, 85.9% of receipts $21,234,502.69. The remainder inside receipts is $3,003,534.99. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

Unauthorized Super PAC coding is not a motive claim

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. Designation U means unauthorized in the FEC codebook, not a finding about purpose. Keep Planned Parenthood Votes, C00489799, and 2018 in the same sentence whenever the receipt total is reused.

Independent expenditures by other IDs remain another table. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here unless stored. Keep the citation to PLANNED PARENTHOOD VOTES, C00489799, cycle 2018, receipts $21,234,502.69, disbursements $18,373,481.98, source FEC.gov. Stored type is O: independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet Super PAC flag is 1. Cite both fields. Type O plus flag 1 is the Super PAC coding in this extract.
