Sacramento, CA and the 2010 FEC election cycle

Reading $138,860 as a two-table overlap

Two public tables meet here. One groups itemized individual receipts by donor city. The other groups the same receipts by even-year FEC cycle. Where Sacramento, CA and 2010 overlap, the packet stores $138,860 and 110 contributions. That is smaller than the city lifetime figure $159,401,418 and is not a statewide California total for 2010.

Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,262. That mean is $138,860 divided by 110. It is not a median, not a typical-donor portrait, and not a contribution limit. FEC itemization thresholds and committee reporting rules sit outside this packet. If a live overlay disagrees with $138,860, treat the live table as current and this JSON as a snapshot.

$159,401,418 across cycles on city key SACRAMENTO

Keep Sacramento, CA geographically tight. California campaign-finance pages mix many cities. This join uses one city key and one cycle. If a filer in a nearby town used a different city string, those dollars are not in $138,860.

Sacramento is stored as SACRAMENTO in California. San Francisco, Davis, and Los Angeles are other California keys. The city lifetime total $159,401,418 is likewise limited to SACRAMENTO. It is not a metro statistical-area total and not a county total. County and MSA rolls are not in the facts.

Two-year tagging for cycle 2010

FEC even-year labels are not the same grain as a January–December calendar year. The 2010 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2009 from 2010. Primary dates, runoff dates, and general-election dates also do not split $138,860 in this file.

The 110 lines are not labeled as primary versus general in the facts. They are not labeled as candidate versus PAC versus party committee in the facts. Recipient-side pages exist elsewhere; this join stays on city × cycle.

PAC money, awards, and unitemized gifts

Correlation of a city and a cycle is not causation. $138,860 does not prove that local events in Sacramento caused giving, or that 2010 national contests caused giving. The table records matching form fields. Treat the number as a public-record cell. Unitemized receipts, if any, would raise a true economic-support figure above $138,860; this file does not estimate that gap.

Internal links for this city-cycle tie

Do not cite this page as a donor list. Do not cite it as a ranking of California cities. Cite it as a city-cycle aggregate: $138,860, 110 lines, Sacramento, CA, 2010, FEC.gov. Share language, if used, must say 0.087% of the stored Sacramento total $159,401,418, not 0.087% of national 2010 receipts.

Numbers this file is allowed to repeat

The first sentence of this article led with $138,860. The last section returns to it so the join cannot be misread as a city profile or a cycle profile. Sacramento, CA without 2010 is $159,401,418. 2010 without Sacramento, CA is a different hub. Together they are $138,860 from 110 itemized lines. That is the entire authorized story. Restating without new facts: Sacramento, CA in 2010 is $138,860 from 110 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $159,401,418 across cycles, so this window is about 0.09% and other windows hold $159,262,558. Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,262. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2010 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $138,860: donor city Sacramento, CA and FEC cycle 2010, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 110 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Sacramento cycle pages. City lifetime money $159,401,418 already includes the 2010 window; do not add $138,860 to $159,401,418.

Questions

How much did Sacramento donors give in 2010?

FEC individual-contribution aggregates assign $138,860 to donor city SACRAMENTO in CA during cycle 2010. Volume is 110 itemized lines. This is not PAC spending and not a federal award total. Other even-year windows for Sacramento are other pages; they are not mixed into $138,860.

What share of Sacramento FEC money is 2010?

The 2010 window holds $138,860 of $159,401,418 recorded for Sacramento, CA, roughly 0.087%. The 2010 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2009 from 2010. Because the city total already includes 2010, adding the slice to the lifetime total would double-count.

Does this include all California capital-region cities?

The packet does not merge look-alike city names. Sacramento, CA is one key. Same-name cities in other states are other pages. ZIP codes filed with a different city string are out of $138,860 even if the ZIP sits in Sacramento.

Where are the Sacramento and 2010 overlay pages?

Four packet links cover the overlays: /cities/ca-sacramento/, /election-cycles/2010/, /states/CA/, and /ties/. No additional URLs are authorized. If you need another cycle of Sacramento, that is a different city-cycle slug, not an extra href here. FEC.gov is the source for $138,860, 110 contributions, and the $159,401,418 city total on Sacramento, CA.
