Rick Scott for Florida — 2018 cycle receipts

What $85.2M on this page actually measures

Two tables meet. One table is committees. The other is election cycles. RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA (C00676965) is the committee key. 2018 is the cycle key. The cell value on receipts is $85,231,716.47. The cell value on disbursements is $83,771,112.48. That is the entire numeric claim set in this packet besides type S and Super PAC flag 0.

This is not a gubernatorial account, a Super PAC, or a named-donor page. Rick Scott for Florida is one Senate authorized committee in 2018. Readers looking for itemized individual donors should leave this URL. Readers looking for every 2018 committee should open the cycle hub. Readers looking for Rick Scott for Florida across years should open the committee hub.

Receipts of $85,231,716.47 and disbursements of $83,771,112.48 sit close together in this cycle cell. Closeness is not proof the books are closed, and it is not a cash-on-hand figure. Correlation is not causation. A large receipt total does not prove an electoral result, and it does not prove that receipts funded federal awards.

Type S and the Super PAC flag

FEC committee type S is a one-letter code. Here it means RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA is a Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Those two fields can diverge: type O is the independent-expenditure-only code, while the Super PAC flag is a separate packet boolean. Cite both as stored.

This page is not a gubernatorial account, a Super PAC, or a named-donor page. Mixing this committee’s 2018 receipts with another committee’s independent expenditures would blend rows. Mixing them with USAspending awards would blend statutes.

2018 is an FEC cycle key, not turnout

2018 is not a poll and not a vote total. $85,231,716.47 is not a share of ballots. The packet has no turnout field. Do not invent one. The cycle overlay is a finance table. RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA is one row inside it.

2018 is a closed FEC election cycle in this extract. Amendments after a cycle’s election day can still move $85,231,716.47. If the live 2018 page and this snapshot disagree, quote the live page and keep the committee ID C00676965.

What $83,771,112.48 in disbursements is not

$83,771,112.48 is cycle disbursements for C00676965, not a list of vendors and not a list of independent-expenditure targets. The packet has no payee table. This page does not invent payees. The packet Super PAC flag is 0.

Receipts $85,231,716.47 likewise have no contributor table here. Do not invent donors to illustrate the total. The aggregate is the published object.

How to cite RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA in 2018

A complete claim names RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA and 2018, then $85,231,716.47 receipts, $83,771,112.48 disbursements, type S, Super PAC flag 0, source FEC.gov. Do not convert the committee into a donor list. Do not fold another committee’s independent expenditures into the cell.

This URL exists because two filters meet. The committee hub rolls cycles into one ID. The 2018 hub rolls committees into one year. Only the Rick Scott for Florida × 2018 overlay applies both filters.

Amended reports and live hubs

Committee reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $85,231,716.47 or $83,771,112.48 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Rick Scott for Florida hub and the live 2018 hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts.

2018 is a closed FEC election cycle in this extract. Sibling committee-cycle pages for other years or other IDs are other slugs. Do not reuse $85,231,716.47 on those pages.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: committee RICK SCOTT FOR FLORIDA (C00676965), election cycle 2018, receipts $85,231,716.47, disbursements $83,771,112.48, FEC type S, Super PAC flag 0. Other 2018 Senate committees stay on other pages. The 2018 election-cycle hub still mixes every other committee. All committees and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $85,231,716.47: treat it as cash on hand, treat it as a donor roster, treat it as a 2018 grand total for every committee, or treat it as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote disbursements $83,771,112.48 with its own label, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links.

No occupation split, no state split, and no named-donor list appears here. If a later extract revises $85,231,716.47 or $83,771,112.48, the live Rick Scott for Florida overlay and the live 2018 page control. This JSON file is a snapshot of packet facts, not a third disclosure system. 2018 is a closed FEC election cycle in this extract.
