Wants additional filters #9513

What were you trying to do and how can we improve it?

I am trying to find every super PAC, or non-connected PAC, filed between certain dates. I used to be able to do this on class.fec.gov. I could also search by state. For instance, I could filter search results for all super PACs created in New Jersey from January 2019 to March 2019. This was a very useful function. But now that the classic website is down, I can't find a way to search that information on the new website.

On the new website I can look up newly created political committees, and I can filter them by "receipt date." But I can't figure out how to separate out specific types of committees or search them by geography. There are so many committees that this creates a crushing amount of information. My search committees filed between January 1 2020 and February 7 2020 brings up about 12,500 results.

Is there a way to narrow my results down to just one type of committee and one state? If not, please consider adding that function.

Hi there! If you happen to see this message, you can search for committees using our All committees search and it includes the ability to search by file date, state and committee type. Check out the link below and let us know if this still does not meet your needs.
