REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA — 2016 cycle receipts

Two keys: C00044842 and election cycle 2016

FEC cycle tags are even years. 2016 therefore covers the paired odd year as well. REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA receipts of $16,026,720.78 are the tagged window, not a single calendar year and not an election-night dump. Disbursements $16,177,277.86 follow the same tag.

Committee type Y is qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The packet sets isSuperPac = 0 for this committee-cycle row. Do not relabel the committee as a Super PAC from outside knowledge. Type Y is the stored class. Those flags travel with the row. They do not create extra dollar fields.

Internal links stay inside the packet: REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA, the 2016 election cycle, all committees, and all FEC ties. Use them rather than inventing URLs.

Committee identity versus cycle identity

The committee dimension answers who filed. REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA filed. The cycle dimension answers which two-year tag. 2016 is the tag. Receipts $16,026,720.78 require both answers. Dropping either answer misstates the extract. Committee designation U is stored as unauthorized. Cash on hand in the extract is $151,295.57. That is a stored cash-on-hand field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are $1,707,828.27. That individual column is not the same number as cycle receipts $16,026,720.78; other receipt types can fill the gap without this page naming them.

2016 type Y party committee that disbursed $16,177,277.86 against $16,026,720.78 receipts, cash on hand $151,295.57. Use that sentence when comparing this URL to another PA Republican Federal Committee cycle page.

2016 receipts are not election-night math

2016 as a label does not rank REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA against peers. Peer ranking would need other committees’ dollars, which this packet does not print. The cycle hub is the place for that table.

A presidential-year fec two-year window describes the calendar, not the committee type. Type remains Y.

Keep PA Republican Federal Committee separate from award files

Filer-entered names can change. REPUBLICAN FEDERAL COMMITTEE OF PENNSYLVANIA is the string in this extract. A later filing that uses a different spelling is still C00044842 on the overlay, but this snapshot keeps the packet string.

Banned inference: treating $16,026,720.78 as proof that donations paid for federal awards. They did not, on this record. The record is FEC receipts.
