$282,000 in itemized individual contributions is the join between donor city Kalamazoo, MI and recipient committee GROWTH POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE ('GROWTH PAC') (C00568840). That cell sits inside Kalamazoo, MI’s $37,505,162 ($37.5 million) city book — 0.8% of itemized gifts that stored KALAMAZOO as the contributor city. The figure is FEC.gov Schedule A, not independent expenditures and not a census of every Kalamazoo resident.

Key figures

  • $282,000 is the Kalamazoo, MI × Growth PAC join (committee C00568840).
  • $37,505,162 is the all-committee Kalamazoo, MI city book; this cell is 0.8%.
  • $37,223,162 of the city book went to other committees.
  • City KALAMAZOO is filer-entered; C00568840 is the recipient ID.
  • FEC receipts are not USAspending awards.

Kalamazoo, MI × GROWTH PAC (C00568840)

$282,000 is the overlap of contributor city KALAMAZOO with state MI and recipient committee C00568840, disclosed as GROWTH POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE ('GROWTH PAC'). LobbyVault stores a Kalamazoo, MI city hub and a committee hub for Growth PAC. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is every committee that received itemized gifts listing Kalamazoo. The committee hub is every city that gave to C00568840. This page is only both filters at once.

0.8% of $37,505,162 is $282,000 to Growth PAC. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Kalamazoo as a municipality directed the gifts. Most of the $37,505,162 Kalamazoo book went to other committees. Leftover in this extract is $37,223,162. That cell is not Club for Growth Action, not a GDP table, and not Grand Rapids.

This page reports the labeled recipient as GROWTH POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE ('GROWTH PAC'). Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold never appear in $282,000. Michigan state-office campaigns file under state law and sit outside it. Do not invent unique donors or receipt counts; this packet published dollars, city, and committee ID only. C00568840 is disclosed as GROWTH POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE ('GROWTH PAC'). Overlay target is the committee hub. The FEC name includes the parenthetical nickname and quotes. Club for Growth Action (C00487470) is a different committee on a Gainesville page. Do not collapse the two because both say Growth.

KALAMAZOO’s all-committee city book

Across committees in this extract, contributor city KALAMAZOO in Michigan totals $37,505,162. $282,000 is 0.8% of that city book. The stored city sits in Kalamazoo County, Michigan. Grand Rapids and Battle Creek are other Michigan city keys. State MI stays on the citation so Kalamazoo is not merged with a same-named city in another state. $37,505,162 is the MI key only.

Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Kalamazoo can sit in $37,505,162 when that is the stored string. Household streets that stored the same city sit in the same field. This packet does not split residential from commercial addresses. $282,000 follows the same rule on the committee side. Michigan campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $282,000 to the state hub.
