UNITED WE CAN — 2016 cycle receipts

Two FEC dimensions: United We Can and 2016

United We Can in 2016 is a two-field cell. Receipts $24,206,986.36 sit on one field. Disbursements $23,418,314.60 sit on another. Committee name UNITED WE CAN and ID C00523621 identify the filer. Cycle 2016 identifies the window. Missing any of those pieces misquotes the extract.

This is not a restatement of the 2016 election-cycle hub, which includes every top committee in that window. It is not a restatement of the UNITED WE CAN committee hub, which includes other cycles. Only the overlap is this page.

Receipts $24,206,986.36 exceed disbursements $23,418,314.60 by $788,671.76. Cash on hand is stored as $2,683,611.32, a third field, not receipts minus disbursements. Individual contributions are stored as $15,994,220.72. Committee designation is U (unauthorized committee (designation U)). Treat later amendments on FEC.gov as controlling if they disagree with this snapshot. Individual contributions $15,994,220.72 do not equal cycle receipts. The remainder is unpublished by source. Do not invent transfer partners.

The committee side of the United We Can join

UNITED WE CAN (C00523621) is the only committee in this cell. All committees is the index of other IDs. Do not roll those IDs into $24,206,986.36. Do not treat United We Can as a nickname that swallows similarly named Super PACs or joint-fundraising vehicles.

This page is a committee page joined to a cycle, not a donor-detail page. Contributor names are unpublished here even when they exist on Schedule A.
