SMP — 2018 cycle receipts

How SMP meets the 2018 cycle

This page is a join, not a restatement of either hub. SMP is one axis. Election cycle 2018 is the other. $164,210,170.80 is only receipts that carry both the committee ID C00484642 and the cycle key. The committee overlay still holds other cycles. The 2018 overlay still holds other committees. Opening one hub and ignoring the other drops a side of the pair.

SMP is stored as independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet sets isSuperPac = 1. Combined with FEC type O, cite Super PAC status only as that flag, not as a motive or an independent-expenditure dollar total. 2018 type O Super PAC that disbursed more than it receipted. None of that recodes $164,210,170.80 into a donor census. Independent-expenditure line items, if they exist on other schedules, are not published as a separate dollar in this packet.

FEC.gov is the source. Cycle-details topCommittees supplied the receipt and disbursement pair. This prose does not add contribution counts, unique-donor counts, or names. It also does not add USAspending obligations. 2018 is a midterm FEC two-year window.

SMP as the committee side

SMP is the committee side of the join. ID C00484642 is the stable key. Display text can shorten to SMP in titles; the stored FEC name remains SMP. Other committees that share a similar brand string are other IDs and other pages.

Type O (independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O)) describes how the Commission classifies the committee on this row. The packet sets isSuperPac = 1. Combined with FEC type O, cite Super PAC status only as that flag, not as a motive or an independent-expenditure dollar total. Classification can differ by cycle on the same ID; this file speaks only to 2018.

2018 as the cycle side

Cycle 2018 is a midterm FEC two-year window. FEC election cycles are two-year tags ending in the even year. Activity in the paired odd year can sit inside $164,210,170.80. This packet does not split those years.

The 2018 election-cycle hub includes other top committees. Their receipts are not added here. SMP’s $164,210,170.80 is the committee filter inside that hub.

Receipts $164,210,170.80 versus disbursements $165,603,036.12

Disbursements exceed receipts by $1,392,865.32 in this extract ($165,603,036.12 out, $164,210,170.80 in). Spending above cycle receipts can reflect prior-cash use, transfers, or timing; this packet does not itemize those mechanics. Repeat the labels: receipts $164,210,170.80, disbursements $165,603,036.12, committee SMP, cycle 2018. Netting without labels creates a third number the FEC did not title in this extract.

Cash on hand, debts, and transfers among joint-fundraising participants are other FEC lines. They are not $164,210,170.80 and not $165,603,036.12.

What this SMP × 2018 page refuses to say

This page does not list donors, employers, occupations, or cities. Kind pac-cycle is committee × cycle. Inventing a donor would violate the packet. Contribution counts are also unpublished.

This page does not claim $164,210,170.80 funded USAspending awards, contracts, grants, or loans. Different datasets can share a year without sharing a payment trail. Correlation is not causation.
