Oakland, CA and the 2014 FEC election cycle

How Oakland, CA and 2014 share one dollar figure

This join is a Alameda County city string against a 2014 FEC window. The dollar figure attached to that meeting is $134,196. 169 itemized individual contributions produced it. The city key’s stored lifetime total is $122,533,634, so other cycles hold $122,399,438. Folding those other cycles into a 2014 citation would overstate the window by $122,399,438.

FEC cycle labels are even years. The 2014 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2013 from 2014. Election-night tallies, primary-versus-general splits, and party splits are not in the facts and are not computed here. The page is nonpartisan public-record description.

Reading the Oakland, CA lifetime total next to 2014

0.11% is $134,196 divided by $122,533,634. That percentage is a share of the stored city key, not a share of all 2014 FEC receipts nationwide. No nationwide cycle denominator is in the facts, so none is quoted. Statewide California denominators are also absent.

Oakland is stored as OAKLAND in California. San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland strings in other states are other pages. If two suburb names look related on a map, the FEC still stores them as separate city strings unless the form text matches exactly.

How FEC cycle 2014 differs from a calendar year

The 2014 overlay path in this packet is /election-cycles/2014/. Open it for cycle-wide navigation. Return here for the Oakland slice of $134,196. The 2014 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2013 from 2014.

Because the window can include the paired odd year, a gift dated in that odd year can still be a 2014 receipt. This page does not quantify how many of the 169 lines fall in each calendar year. That split is not in the facts.

FEC gifts are not USAspending awards

Itemization rules mean small gifts can be absent. Joint fundraising, earmarks, and conduit committees can also shape how a city string appears without appearing as extra facts here. None of those mechanics are quantified in the packet. The published cell stays $134,196 and 169 contributions. Live FEC bulk files can be re-aggregated; if they move, this snapshot can lag.

Using the Oakland, CA hub, the 2014 hub, and ties

Put dollars first ($134,196), then both keys (Oakland, CA and 2014), then volume (169), then source (FEC.gov). That order matches the voice constraint on the packet. Motive language, party labels, and invented contractors would break the contract. None appear.

OAKLAND in 2014: facts only

Nothing in this file ranks Oakland as more politically active than another city. Itemized volume reflects who itemized and how committees keyed the city field. 169 lines at $134,196 can sit next to a neighbor city’s very different cell without implying a social ranking. Report the cell. Stop. Restating without new facts: Oakland, CA in 2014 is $134,196 from 169 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $122,533,634 across cycles, so this window is about 0.11% and other windows hold $122,399,438. Arithmetic mean per line is about $794. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2014 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $134,196: donor city Oakland, CA and FEC cycle 2014, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 169 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Oakland cycle pages. City lifetime money $122,533,634 already includes the 2014 window; do not add $134,196 to $122,533,634.

Oakland, CA remains one donor-city string on FEC.gov. Cycle 2014 remains one even-year tag. Together they produce $134,196 from 169 itemized individual contributions. The city key still stores $122,533,634 when every stored cycle is included, so 2014 is about 0.11% of that running total and $122,399,438 sits in other windows. Those other windows are not listed here and are not estimated. Mean line size about $794 is $134,196 divided by 169, an arithmetic mean rather than a median.
