How much did Pasadena, CA donors give to DSCC?

FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $404,060 coded to contributor city PASADENA (CA) and received by DSCC (C00042366). The broader Pasadena, CA city book across all committees is $69,184,320. These figures are not independent expenditures.

What share of Pasadena, CA FEC money went to DSCC?

About 0.6% of the $69,184,320 Pasadena, CA total is in this join: $404,060 to C00042366. About $68,780,260 (99.4%) went to other committees. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that the city directed the gifts.

Does the Pasadena total count only residents who gave to DSCC?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed PASADENA with state CA. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Pasadena can sit in $404,060 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where are the Pasadena, CA and DSCC hubs?

Open Pasadena, CA for the city hub across committees, DSCC for committee C00042366 receipts from every city, California campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the hubs hold the broader tables.

Pasadena, CA donors to the DSCC

$404,060 in itemized individual contributions is the join between donor city PASADENA, CA, and DSCC (C00042366). FEC.gov aggregates that cell from Schedule A receipts whose contributor city stored PASADENA and whose recipient committee is C00042366. The same city string totals $69,184,320 across every committee in this extract, so this committee is about 0.6% of the Pasadena, CA book — a city filter meeting one committee ID, not a city PAC and not independent expenditures.

How Pasadena, CA meets DSCC

$404,060 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city PASADENA with state CA, and recipient committee C00042366 disclosed as DSCC. LobbyVault stores a Pasadena, CA city hub and a committee hub for DSCC. Neither hub is this join. The city hub answers how much itemized money this city string produced across committees. The committee hub answers how much itemized money that committee received from every city. This page answers only the intersection: Pasadena, CA donors to DSCC.

The packet does not publish a contribution count or a unique-donor census for this city–committee cell. Do not invent line counts. Cite $404,060 as the intersection dollar figure and $69,184,320 as the city-wide itemized book. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts sit in other FEC tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Pasadena sits in Los Angeles County, California. Neighboring city strings such as LOS ANGELES, SOUTH PASADENA, ARCADIA, SAN MARINO, and GLENDALE are other FEC keys and are not recoded into PASADENA. State CA stays on the citation so Pasadena is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Pasadena, Texas, is a different city key. This join uses state CA only.

The Pasadena, CA side of the join

Across committees in this extract, contributor city PASADENA in California totals $69,184,320. $404,060 to DSCC is about 0.6% of that city book. A 0.6% share does not mean Pasadena “favors” this committee; it means other recipient committees hold the remaining 99.4% ($68,780,260) under the same city string. The live Pasadena, CA table is the place to compare other committees. This snapshot lists one recipient.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed PASADENA is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Pasadena. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat $404,060 as itemized receipts that stored this city string and this committee ID. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored PASADENA follow the same rule as household streets.

DSCC (C00042366) as the recipient key

C00042366 is disclosed as DSCC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, nor gifts the committee received from cities other than PASADENA. $404,060 is Pasadena, CA-coded individual receipts only. Other cities giving to the same committee appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

DSCC is a national party-related committee in FEC filings. That registration fact does not convert $404,060 into a party platform, a state-party transfer, or a coordinated-expenditure total. Those are other FEC forms. This join is Schedule A itemized individual contributions with city PASADENA and committee C00042366. Open DSCC for receipts whose city field did not store PASADENA.

0.6% of the Pasadena, CA city book

About 0.6% of $69,184,320 is $404,060 to DSCC. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Pasadena as a municipality directed the gifts. Most of the $69,184,320 Pasadena, CA book went to other committees. A 0.6% share is a slice of a city string, not the city’s FEC story.

The leftover $68,780,260 (99.4% of $69,184,320) went to other committees under the same PASADENA grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Pasadena, CA city hub holds that remainder. The DSCC page holds receipts whose city field did not group to PASADENA. Do not add $404,060 to the California campaign-finance hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used.

What this city–committee cell does not measure

$404,060 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city PASADENA and recipient C00042366. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. California state-office campaigns file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Pasadena can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

Federal awards in USAspending are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $404,060 in itemized gifts funded federal work in California, or that federal work funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Two datasets can share a geography without sharing a payment trail. Correlation between a city string and a committee ID is not causation.

Citing Pasadena and DSCC together

Start with $404,060, then name both sides: Pasadena, CA and DSCC (C00042366). Citation template: city PASADENA, CA; committee C00042366; $404,060; about 0.6% of city book $69,184,320; source FEC.gov. Internal links go to Pasadena, CA, DSCC, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors.

This prose is a packet snapshot. Amended reports can move either dollar. If the live Pasadena, CA hub or the live DSCC hub disagrees with this file, the newer FEC extract controls. Carry $404,060 onto a neighboring city string or a different committee ID and it stops being a fact from this packet.
