Reported date the communication was distributed.
Receipt date for the report, not the ad’s publication date.
These fields describe different events and are shown as reported—not combined into a single “ad date.” FEC field definitions ↗
Outside spending, not a donation to the candidate.
The FEC defines an independent expenditure as spending on a communication advocating a candidate’s election or defeat, made independently of the candidate or party. That is the category reported here—not proof that the FEC has verified every claim in this filing.
How the FEC defines independent expenditures ↗A finance row is not the ad itself.
This connected record does not include the ad’s text, video, impressions, audience, or verified platform. Purpose and payee names alone cannot establish those details, effectiveness, coordination, or wrongdoing.
Support or opposition is the filer’s reported designation, not Election.org’s position.
