REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE — 2012 cycle receipts

RNC receipts isolated to 2012

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418), stored as a qualified party committee (FEC type Y). The other is election cycle 2012. $390,216,923.10 is the receipt total on that intersection from cycle-details topCommittees. It is not the 2012 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE's receipts in any other even-year window. Romney for President Inc. and Romney Victory Inc are 2012 packets with other IDs. They do not feed this type Y total.

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 committee receipts by election cycle. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $390,216,923.10 funded federal awards.

Type Y party committee, same ID as other RNC years

Committee C00003418 files as REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. 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/C00003418/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2012 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $390,216,923.10 would break the join. 2012 sits between the 2008 and 2016 RNC overlays in this slice. Each overlay is a closed cell. This URL stores only the 2012 pair.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00003418 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2012 total.

2012 cycle ranking includes more than the RNC

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2012 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2012/ lists many committees; REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE is one row in that ranking extract. $390,216,923.10 belongs only to this committee in that window. The 2012 cycle hub still lists Obama-titled committees and other party committees. The RNC cell is one row.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $390,216,923.10 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2012 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

2012 RNC receipts versus disbursements

Receipts $390,216,923.10 and disbursements $386,180,565.56 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $4,036,357.54 in this extract. 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, refunds, or cash-on-hand. Receipts exceed disbursements by a few million. Keep the two columns; do not call the spread a reserve.

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 $390,216,923.10 and $386,180,565.56 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov.

Romney-titled committees are other 2012 IDs

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. No donors. No NRCC merge. No federal-award claim.

Independent expenditures by other committees that mention the same public figure are other tables. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here. Keep the citation to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, C00003418, cycle 2012, receipts $390,216,923.10, disbursements $386,180,565.56, source FEC.gov.
