Donors in Enterprise, AL to CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION

How Enterprise, AL meets Club for Growth Action on the FEC tape

$11,491,827 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city ENTERPRISE with state AL, and recipient committee C00487470 disclosed as CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION. LobbyVault keeps a Enterprise, AL city hub and a committee hub for Club for Growth Action. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub is every city that gave to C00487470. This page is only both filters at once.

CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION is the stored name on C00487470. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $11,491,827. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and conduit memo entries can sit inside a city×committee total without this packet splitting them.

City labels are filer-entered. ENTERPRISE is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A donor who stored a neighboring city is on another hub. A donor who stored ENTERPRISE and a different committee ID is in the leftover $7,014,877 of the city book, not in $11,491,827.

The Enterprise, AL side of the Club for Growth Action join

Enterprise, AL’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $18,506,704. $11,491,827 is 62.1% of Enterprise, AL’s $18,506,704 all-committee book — a large slice of the stored city string, still only the rows whose recipient is C00487470. The leftover $7,014,877 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Enterprise, AL hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in Alabama. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into ENTERPRISE. Alabama campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $11,491,827 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $11,491,827 into spending by Enterprise, AL candidates or into independent expenditures by Club for Growth Action.

CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION (C00487470) as the recipient key

C00487470 is disclosed as CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $11,491,827 is itemized individual receipts storing city ENTERPRISE and committee C00487470. Other cities giving to Club for Growth Action appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. Club for Growth Action on another ID is a different page. This URL is Enterprise, AL × C00487470, not Alabama × C00487470 and not every spelling of ENTERPRISE. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $11,491,827, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Enterprise, AL book

62.1% of $18,506,704 is $11,491,827 to CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION (C00487470). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Enterprise, AL as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $18,506,704 city book went to other committees unless 62.1% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00487470 filter.

The leftover $7,014,877 under the ENTERPRISE city string went to other committees. The Enterprise, AL hub holds that remainder. The Club for Growth Action page holds receipts whose city field did not store ENTERPRISE. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00487470; each join is its own filter.

What the Enterprise, AL × Club for Growth Action dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $11,491,827. Alabama state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file; the source note on this packet says these aggregates are not independent expenditures. City labels are filer-entered. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this city string follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $11,491,827 as proof that Enterprise, AL “funded” Club for Growth Action as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Alabama. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $11,491,827 to federal spending in Alabama.

Contribution lines can cluster in a few ZIPs or spread across many. This packet does not list those ZIPs or a donor headcount. Open the city hub and the committee hub rather than guessing a postal split from the city string alone.

How to cite the Enterprise, AL × Club for Growth Action join

Internal links go to Enterprise, AL, CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION, Alabama campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $18,506,704 book and the committees that received the leftover $7,014,877. The committee page holds C00487470 receipts from every city. All FEC ties collects neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this cell.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Enterprise, AL and CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION (C00487470). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $11,491,827 is the only overlap this extract published. A later amendment wave can move a dollar without this file rewriting itself. Treat the live LobbyVault hub as newer than this packet snapshot.

Cite $11,491,827, $18,506,704, 62.1%, leftover $7,014,877, and C00487470. Keep both sides named: ENTERPRISE as filer-entered city, CLUB FOR GROWTH ACTION as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.
