SEIU COPE (SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION COMMITTEE ON POLITICAL EDUCATION) — 2018 cycle receipts

Why SEIU COPE and the 2018 cycle share a page

SEIU COPE (SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION COMMITTEE ON POLITICAL EDUCATION) is a committee, not a person. C00004036 is the FEC identifier. Cycle 2018 is a midterm FEC two-year window. The meeting of those two dimensions is $56,715,911.22 receipts and $51,687,438.11 disbursements. Independent expenditures by other committees stay outside the cell unless this ID itself is type O.

The string SEIU COPE (SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION COMMITTEE ON POLITICAL EDUCATION) is only as wide as this committee ID. Joint fundraising committees, successor committees, and similarly branded IDs are other keys. Service Employees International Union is spelled out in the FEC name. Local union treasuries and state PACs with other committee IDs are other keys.

This file explains the relationship. The committee overlay lists committee-level rows. The 2018 election cycle overlay lists that window without a SEIU COPE filter. Neither hub is this join.

Committee C00004036 without mixing other IDs

C00004036 is the only committee identifier on this page. Successor IDs, joint fundraising committees, and authorized committees with similar brands are other keys. SEIU COPE in 2018 is a closed midterm cell for C00004036. Open-cycle 2026 figures for the same ID live on another tie if harvested.

Type Q (qualified PAC (FEC type Q)) describes the master class. It does not publish a Form 3 versus Form 3X split beyond that class. isSuperPac 0. The 2026 seiu cope cell, a membership roster, or a super pac would be a different dataset or a different ID.

The two-year 2018 window
