Ron Johnson for Senate, Inc. — 2016 receipts

Ron Johnson for Senate, Inc. locked to 2016

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is RON JOHNSON FOR SENATE, INC. (C00482984), stored as Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The other is election cycle 2016. $17,683,385.71 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2016 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not RON JOHNSON FOR SENATE, INC.'s receipts in any other even-year window. Stored type is S: Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page. Committee designation is P: principal campaign committee (designation P).

A small cash figure is not a solvency finding. Quote C00482984, 2016, and both FEC money columns. Principal Senate committee, Super PAC flag 0. Other Wisconsin Senate committees are other IDs. 2016 is a presidential-year 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 $17,683,385.71 funded federal awards.

C00482984 as Senate type S, designation P, flag 0

The committee page at /committees/C00482984/ is the overlay for C00482984. That hub is not limited to 2016. Quote $17,683,385.71 only with 2016 attached. Quote the hub only as the committee overlay. Ron Johnson for Senate in 2016 is the join. Stored type is S: Senate candidate committee (FEC type S). The packet Super PAC flag is 0. Do not relabel this cell as a Super PAC page.

/committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00482984 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2016 total. Cash on hand is stored as $44,263. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $14,640,881.63, 82.8% of receipts $17,683,385.71. The remainder inside receipts is $3,042,504.08. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

The 2016 presidential hub is not this Senate cell

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2016 is that tag. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2016/ lists many committees; RON JOHNSON FOR SENATE, INC. is one row in that extract. $17,683,385.71 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2016 is a presidential-year 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 $17,683,385.71 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2016 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Cash on hand $44,263 under disbursements $18,245,101.44

Receipts $17,683,385.71 and disbursements $18,245,101.44 are separate FEC columns. Disbursements $18,245,101.44 exceed receipts $17,683,385.71 by $561,715.73. Spending above receipts in one two-year window is a reporting pattern, not a motive claim and not a ranking. 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 $44,263. That line is not a bank login, not receipts, and not disbursements. Individual contributions are $14,640,881.63, 82.8% of receipts $17,683,385.71. The remainder inside receipts is $3,042,504.08. That column is an aggregate, not a list of contributors, employers, or zip codes.

A thin cash line is not a donor roster

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. A small cash figure is not a solvency finding. Quote C00482984, 2016, and both FEC money columns. Principal Senate committee, Super PAC flag 0. Other Wisconsin Senate committees are other IDs.

Independent expenditures by other IDs remain another table. Party transfers, if they exist, are not itemized here unless stored.
