THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE locked to cycle 2014

A pac-cycle page exists because two FEC dimensions meet. One side is THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE (C00548420), stored as an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The other is election cycle 2014. $13,766,776.26 is the receipt total on that intersection. It is not the 2014 national cycle sum across every committee, and it is not THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE's receipts in any other even-year window. Do not treat the digits 2016 in the stored name as a second committee ID. This slug is C00548420 in cycle 2014 only.

LobbyVault does not treat this URL as a donor-detail page. No contributor names appear in the packet. The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. Source: FEC.gov. Campaign contributions are not USAspending obligations; this join does not claim that $13,766,776.26 funded federal awards. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $893,565.81. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $13,514,590.44.

Committee C00548420 as FEC type O

Committee C00548420 files as THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE. Type O is an independent expenditure-only committee (FEC type O). The packet flags isSuperPac 1, so Super PAC is the correct label on this join. The committee hub at /committees/C00548420/ mixes every cycle this committee appears in; this tie isolates 2014 only. Adding other-cycle receipts from that hub into $13,766,776.26 would break the join. Individual contributions $13,514,590.44 sit inside receipts $13,766,776.26. Designation U is unauthorized. The digits 2016 in the name are a brand string on a 2014 cycle row.

All committees at /committees/ still lists every other filer. Those rows are not this cell. Keep C00548420 on the citation so a similar public name cannot swallow this 2014 total.

The 2014 hub is not this Super PAC cell

Federal election cycles on FEC.gov are two-year windows tagged by the even year of the election. 2014 is that tag, not a single calendar year of January-only activity. The cycle hub at /election-cycles/2014/ lists many committees; THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE is one row in that ranking extract. $13,766,776.26 belongs only to this committee in that window. 2014 is a midterm even-year tag. Super PACs on the 2016 cycle hub are other joins.

All FEC ties at /ties/ collect other committee × cycle pairs and other LobbyVault joins. Opening a sibling tie does not change $13,766,776.26 on this URL. Correlation is not causation: a large 2014 receipt total does not prove why money moved or who sent it.

Name year 2016 versus cycle year 2014

Receipts $13,766,776.26 and disbursements $12,873,210.45 are separate FEC columns. Receipts exceed disbursements by $893,565.81 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, or refunds. Receipts exceed disbursements. Cash on hand is stored as $893,565.81.

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 $13,766,776.26 and $12,873,210.45 as committee-side cycle totals from FEC.gov. Committee designation is stored as U (unauthorized (designation U)). Cash on hand in the packet is $893,565.81. Individual contributions stored for this cell are $13,514,590.44.

A draft Super PAC is not a donor page

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. A name that says 2016 does not move this cell onto the 2016 cycle hub.

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 THE 2016 DRAFT COMMITTEE, C00548420, cycle 2014, receipts $13,766,776.26, disbursements $12,873,210.45, source FEC.gov.
