SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND

Metairie and SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND as a two-field filter

LobbyVault’s Metairie, LA page and the SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND (C00568162) page are related doors, not duplicates of $477,700. The join is a filter: city string plus committee ID. Correlation is not causation. $477,700 beside $32,905,168 does not mean Metairie “drove” SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND or that SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND “owns” Metairie politics.

Do not stack this $477,700 onto other Metairie committee cells and call the sum the city book — $32,905,168 already is that roll-up. Do not stack this $477,700 onto other cities’ gifts to C00568162 and call the sum this page. The filter is Metairie and C00568162 together.

Internal links on this page go to Metairie, LA, SCALISE LEADERSHIP FUND, Louisiana campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. None of them converts $477,700 into spending by Metairie candidates or into federal awards.

The Metairie, LA side of the join

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed METAIRIE 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 Metairie. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place. Treat $32,905,168 as lines that stored this string.

Louisiana campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Metairie. Do not add $477,700 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.
