Little Rock, AR political money — 2010 cycle

How 2010 sits inside Little Rock, AR

Start with the intersection: $204,494 from 168 itemized rows where city = LITTLE ROCK (AR) and cycle = 2010. The city dimension without the year is $174,186,411. 0.12% of that stack is 2010; 99.9% ($173,981,917) is not. A thin slice of the city stack of Little Rock's own dollars.

The Little Rock, AR hub still folds in other even-year windows. The 2010 hub still folds in other cities. This ties slug keeps both. Matching a city string to a cycle tag does not prove intent, ideology, or a Arkansas recipient committee.

2010 is filed as a midterm two-year FEC cycle without a presidential general. The cycle type does not explain $204,494. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

$174,186,411 is every cycle under Little Rock, AR in this extract, including $204,494 from 2010 and $173,981,917 from the rest. It is not a headcount. Arkansas pages still show cities besides Little Rock.

The stored city is Little Rock, the Arkansas capital. North Little Rock, Conway, and Benton are different city strings. State AR stays on the citation so Little Rock is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Keep AR on the key so $174,186,411 is not mixed with a homonym. Stack $174,186,411 and slice $204,494 (0.12%) are different facts. City hub for the unfiltered city; this page for Little Rock in 2010. Recipients need not be in Little Rock or in Arkansas.

FEC cycle 2010 with a Little Rock filter

A federal cycle is two years. 2010 is the tag, not a January-only sample. Little Rock, AR in that window: $204,494, 168 records, about $1,217 per record. The mean is dollars divided by rows. No median. No unique-donor count.

National 2010 coverage still lists other cities; Arkansas coverage still lists other years. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and committee transfers are other tables. 168 itemized rows is a sizable absolute count of receipts for this join. Linked city, cycle, state, and ties pages hold the broader views.

Keep cityTotal and cycleTotal apart. $204,494 is the 2010 cell for Little Rock, AR: itemized individual contributions in that two-year FEC window only, across 168 records. $174,186,411 is the same city string across every cycle in this extract. Subtracting them leaves $173,981,917 in other even-year windows. Citing $174,186,411 as a 2010 figure mixes the city hub into this join. Citing $204,494 as the lifetime Little Rock total mixes the join into the city hub. 168 is cycleContributions for 2010 only; the packet has no all-cycle row count, so 168 cannot be turned into a share of citywide gifts. 0.12% is dollars only — $204,494 divided by $174,186,411 — not a share of Arkansas and not a share of the national 2010 cycle. PAC receipts, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other FEC tables; they are not mixed into $204,494 or $174,186,411. Donor names are not in the packet and are not invented.

Dollar share 0.12% and row count 168 are not interchangeable. The packet has no all-cycle row total, so a row percentage is not computed. 0.12% is not Little Rock's share of nationwide 2010 itemized receipts.
