$551,500 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city Pittsburgh, PA, and recipient FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE (C00162735). The city hub answers how much itemized money the PITTSBURGH string produced across committees. The committee hub answers how much FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE received from every city. This page answers only the intersection.
Key figures
- $551,500 is the Pittsburgh, PA × FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE join (committee C00162735).
- $176,816,217 is the all-committee Pittsburgh, PA city book; this cell is 0.31%.
- $176,264,717 (99.7%) of the city book went to other committees.
- FEC individual gifts are not USAspending awards; $551,500 is Schedule A only.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
Pittsburgh and Financial Services PAC as a two-field filter
LobbyVault’s Pittsburgh, PA page and the FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE (C00162735) page are related doors, not duplicates of $551,500. The join is a filter: city string plus committee ID. Correlation is not causation. $551,500 beside $176,816,217 does not mean Pittsburgh “drove” FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE or that FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE “owns” Pittsburgh politics.
Do not stack this $551,500 onto other Pittsburgh committee cells and call the sum the city book — $176,816,217 already is that roll-up. Do not stack this $551,500 onto other cities’ gifts to C00162735 and call the sum this page. The filter is Pittsburgh and C00162735 together.
Internal links on this page go to Pittsburgh, PA, FINANCIAL SERVICES POLITICAL COMMITTEE, Pennsylvania campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. None of them converts $551,500 into spending by Pittsburgh candidates or into federal awards.
The Pittsburgh, PA side of the join
City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed PITTSBURGH is counted in the city book. A donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, a nearby suburb, or a misspelling is not recoded into Pittsburgh. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place. Treat $176,816,217 as lines that stored this string.
Pennsylvania campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Pittsburgh. Do not add $551,500 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-committee joins.
