San Diego, CA political money — 2014 cycle

Relationship: San Diego donors and cycle 2014

Headline overlap: $198,720, 216 itemized rows, city SAN DIEGO (CA), cycle 2014. City without year: $156,910,327. Share in 2014: 0.13%. Share in other cycles: 99.9% ($156,711,607). A thin slice of the city stack relative to this city's own stack, not relative to other places.

San Diego, CA as a hub still contains other years. 2014 as a hub still contains other cities. Only the join holds $198,720 and 216 together. A matched city and year do not establish motive or a California recipient. Committees can be anywhere in the FEC system.

2014 is a midterm two-year cycle on FEC.gov on the midterm calendar. That fact does not account for $198,720. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

All-cycle San Diego, CA aggregate

Read $156,910,327 as the city running total. 2014 is $198,720 of it; everything else is $156,711,607. The running total is dollars on a city string, not people. California statewide views still mix San Diego with other cities.

The stored city is San Diego in southern California. Chula Vista, La Jolla as a neighborhood label, and Los Angeles are not rolled into SAN DIEGO. State CA stays on the citation. $156,910,327 uses state CA only. Large stacks and small cycle cells can coexist: here $156,910,327 versus $198,720 (0.13%). The city hub omits the year filter; this tie keeps 2014. Donor city ≠ recipient city.

2014 midterm receipts, city-filtered

FEC cycle 2014 covers two years of receipts, not one calendar year. San Diego, CA inside that tag: $198,720, 216 gifts, mean about $920. Mean = dollars / rows. Median and unique-donor counts are not supplied.

The 2014 cycle hub is still national. The California hub is still multi-cycle. This URL is San Diego × 2014. Unitemized amounts and independent expenditures are omitted. 216 itemized rows is a large absolute count of receipts for this join. Use linked city, cycle, state, and ties pages for neighboring cuts.

Keep cityTotal and cycleTotal apart. $198,720 is the 2014 cell for San Diego, CA: itemized individual contributions in that two-year FEC window only, across 216 records. $156,910,327 is the same city string across every cycle in this extract. Subtracting them leaves $156,711,607 in other even-year windows. Citing $156,910,327 as a 2014 figure mixes the city hub into this join. Citing $198,720 as the lifetime San Diego total mixes the join into the city hub. 216 is cycleContributions for 2014 only; the packet has no all-cycle row count, so 216 cannot be turned into a share of citywide gifts. 0.13% is dollars only — $198,720 divided by $156,910,327 — not a share of California and not a share of the national 2014 cycle. PAC receipts, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other FEC tables; they are not mixed into $198,720 or $156,910,327. Donor names are not in the packet and are not invented.

Remainder after removing 2014

$198,720 is 0.13% of $156,910,327; $156,711,607 is 99.9%. In plain terms, about 0.13% of San Diego, CA itemized individual dollars in this aggregate were filed in 2014, and about 99.9% were filed in other cycles. Not a state share. Not a national-cycle share. Not a voter share.

0.13% and 216 answer different questions. No all-cycle row count exists in the packet, so no row share is given. 0.13% is not San Diego's fraction of all 2014 itemized receipts nationwide.
