This source cluster compiles OpenFEC candidate, committee, filing, receipt, and disbursement records for Eileen Laubacher's 2026 House campaign. It gives the repository a bounded, source-grounded campaign-finance profile built from official API records, including a comparison-ready donor-employer layer, without extending into broader campaign-network claims.
The cluster is made up of direct OpenFEC API captures and two derivative layers built from the Schedule A receipt export. The strongest records are the candidate and committee profile capture, the full Schedule A and Schedule B exports, and the normalized and derived receipt-side datasets used for later comparison work.
- OpenFEC verifies that candidate ID
H6CO04202 resolves to LAUBACHER, EILEEN, a Democratic House candidate in Colorado's 4th District.
- The current repo links Laubacher to one principal campaign committee,
EILEEN FOR COLORADO (C00904284), with quarterly filing frequency.
- The profile bundle preserves one candidate-level F2 filing and three committee report filings for the 2025 cycle window currently visible in the repo.
- The
2026-04-20 OpenFEC refresh confirms APRIL QUARTERLY 2026 as the latest report, with $8,577,847.35 in receipts, $5,487,524.43 in disbursements, $3,090,322.92 cash on hand, and $0.00 debts.
- The Schedule A export preserves
22,240 receipt rows spanning 2025-05-08 through 2025-12-31.
- The normalized receipt layer preserves raw donor, employer, and occupation values while adding a comparison-ready schema aligned with the Jessica Killin and later candidate packages.
- The derived summary preserves the explicit comparison subset boundary: a non-memo individual-donor subset of
11,353 rows.
- The Schedule B export preserves
822 itemized disbursement rows spanning 2025-05-12 through 2025-12-31.
- The
2026-04-17 Schedule E, communication-cost, and electioneering aggregate checks returned zero rows for Laubacher's candidate ID.
- No separate concept page is required for this batch. The current value is in campaign-finance record structure rather than a new reusable policy concept.
- 2025-05-05: OpenFEC preserves the candidate-level F2 filing.
- 2025-05-08 to 2025-12-31: the current repo's retained Schedule A receipt window.
- 2025-05-12 to 2025-12-31: the current repo's retained Schedule B disbursement window.
- 2025: three principal-committee report filings are preserved in the current OpenFEC batch.
- The strongest current theme cue is methodological rather than political: official filing data can support a durable candidate-finance profile without requiring broader narrative or network claims.
¶ Evidence limits and open questions
- This batch is strong on campaign-finance record structure, but thin on broader political context.
- Employer and occupation values remain self-reported filing fields and should not be treated as proof of organizational coordination.
- Direct
docquery filing-image retrieval is still missing even though OpenFEC preserves image and PDF linkage metadata.
- The current repo now includes an aggregate zero-row outside-spending refresh for Laubacher, but it still does not include line-item outside-spending review or non-OpenFEC cross-checking.
