UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS INTERNATIONAL UNION ACTIVE BALLOT CLUB — 2018 cycle receipts

Reading UFCW Active Ballot Club money inside 2018 only

Other committees in 2018 are visible on the cycle overlay and on other pac-cycle ties. Adding those dollars to $13,271,563.65 would erase the committee filter. This URL keeps C00002766 only.

2018 is a closed midterm cycle. The 2016 overlay on the same ID is a different URL with a different dollar pair. Individual contributions in this extract are $13,235,574.65. Committee designation is B, stored as lobbyist/registrant PAC (designation B). Extra fields remain packet facts, not a donor or payee table.

ID C00002766 versus look-alike labels

Look-alike committee titles in the same year remain other IDs. Do not add 2016 UFCW receipts into this 2018 cell. Quote C00002766 with the 2018 cycle tag.

Quote C00002766 whenever you quote $13,271,563.65 so a similarly named committee is not substituted.

How 2018 sits on the committee total

$13,271,563.65 is already inside whatever 2018 grand total a reader might see on the cycle hub. Adding $13,271,563.65 to that hub total would double-count UFCW Active Ballot Club. This packet does not publish the cycle grand total, so this page does not quote one.
