Donors in San Francisco, CA to DCCC

How San Francisco, CA meets DCCC on the FEC tape

$2,586,758 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city SAN FRANCISCO with state CA, and recipient committee C00000935 disclosed as DCCC. LobbyVault keeps a San Francisco, CA city hub and a committee hub for DCCC. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub is every city that gave to C00000935. This page is only both filters at once.

DCCC is the stored committee name on C00000935. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $2,586,758. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and conduit memo entries can sit inside a city×committee total without this packet splitting them.

City labels are filer-entered. SAN FRANCISCO is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A donor who stored a neighboring city is on another hub. A donor who stored SAN FRANCISCO and a different committee ID is in the leftover $1.42 billion of the city book, not in $2,586,758.

The San Francisco, CA side of the DCCC join

San Francisco, CA’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $1.42 billion. $2,586,758 is 0.18% of San Francisco, CA’s $1.42 billion all-committee book. A small share is expected when one committee is compared with every other recipient on the city tape. The leftover $1.42 billion went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the San Francisco, CA hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in California. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into SAN FRANCISCO. California campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $2,586,758 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $2,586,758 into spending by San Francisco, CA candidates or into independent expenditures by DCCC.

DCCC (C00000935) as the recipient key

C00000935 is disclosed as DCCC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $2,586,758 is itemized individual receipts storing city SAN FRANCISCO and committee C00000935. Other cities giving to DCCC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. DCCC on another ID is a different page. This URL is San Francisco, CA × C00000935, not California × C00000935 and not every spelling of SAN FRANCISCO. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $2,586,758, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the San Francisco, CA book

0.18% of $1.42 billion is $2,586,758 to DCCC (C00000935). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of San Francisco, CA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $1.42 billion city book went to other committees unless 0.18% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00000935 filter.

The leftover $1.42 billion under the SAN FRANCISCO city string went to other committees. The San Francisco, CA hub holds that remainder. The DCCC page holds receipts whose city field did not store SAN FRANCISCO. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00000935; each join is its own filter.

What the San Francisco, CA × DCCC dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $2,586,758. California state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file; the source note on this packet says these aggregates are not independent expenditures. City labels are filer-entered. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this city string follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $2,586,758 as proof that San Francisco, CA “funded” DCCC as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in California. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $2,586,758 to federal spending in California.

Contribution lines can cluster in a few ZIPs or spread across many. This packet does not list those ZIPs or a donor headcount. Open the city hub and the committee hub rather than guessing a postal split from the city string alone.

How to cite the San Francisco, CA × DCCC join

Internal links go to San Francisco, CA, DCCC, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $1.42 billion book and the committees that received the leftover $1.42 billion. The committee page holds C00000935 receipts from every city. All FEC ties collects neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this cell.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: San Francisco, CA and DCCC (C00000935). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $2,586,758 is the only overlap this extract published. A later amendment wave can move a dollar without this file rewriting itself. Treat the live LobbyVault hub as newer than this packet snapshot.

Cite $2,586,758, $1.42 billion, 0.18%, leftover $1.42 billion, and C00000935. Keep both sides named: SAN FRANCISCO as filer-entered city, DCCC as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Questions

How much did San Francisco, CA donors give DCCC?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city SAN FRANCISCO and recipient DCCC (C00000935) total $2,586,758 in this extract. That is the join, not San Francisco, CA’s all-committee book of $1.42 billion. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the San Francisco, CA total include every spelling of the city name?

No. SAN FRANCISCO is the exact stored city string with state CA. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $2,586,758. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the San Francisco, CA hub for the all-committee book of $1.42 billion.

What share of San Francisco, CA itemized money went to DCCC?

$2,586,758 is 0.18% of the $1.42 billion San Francisco, CA city book. The leftover $1.42 billion went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C00000935. Do not upgrade 0.18% into a ranking of civic preference.
