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 Electionpedia’s position.

How to interpret this record
DEFEND AMERICAN JOBS: reported spending supporting Lisa Mcclain
A useful public record has an identity, a scope and a source. Research becomes more reliable when those elements travel with the number or statement being discussed.
Write down the claim first
Identify exactly what you want to know: who holds an office, whether someone appears on a ballot, what a committee reported spending, or how a member voted on a question. Each claim calls for a different source. A biography, a campaign website and a financial report can all be useful without answering the same question.
Keep identity, scope and date together
Record the entity identifier, jurisdiction, election or reporting period and source publication. These details prevent a correct fact from being attached to the wrong person, place or time. A name-only match can be misleading, especially when campaigns or institutions have changed names or when a person has sought several offices.
