San Marino, CA political money — 2012 cycle

Relationship: San Marino donors and cycle 2012

Headline overlap: $194,425, 79 itemized rows, city SAN MARINO (CA), cycle 2012. City without year: $28,503,529. Share in 2012: 0.68%. Share in other cycles: 99.3% ($28,309,104). A minority slice of the city stack relative to this city's own stack, not relative to other places.

San Marino, CA as a hub still contains other years. 2012 as a hub still contains other cities. Only the join holds $194,425 and 79 together. A matched city and year do not establish motive or a California recipient. Committees can be anywhere in the FEC system.

2012 is a presidential two-year cycle on FEC.gov and includes a presidential general election. That fact does not account for $194,425. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle.

All-cycle San Marino, CA aggregate

Read $28,503,529 as the city running total. 2012 is $194,425 of it; everything else is $28,309,104. The running total is dollars on a city string, not people. California statewide views still mix San Marino with other cities.

The stored city is San Marino in Los Angeles County, California — not the country of San Marino. Pasadena, South Pasadena, and San Gabriel are different city strings. State CA stays on the citation. $28,503,529 uses state CA only. Large stacks and small cycle cells can coexist: here $28,503,529 versus $194,425 (0.68%). The city hub omits the year filter; this tie keeps 2012. Donor city ≠ recipient city.

2012 presidential receipts, city-filtered

FEC cycle 2012 covers two years of receipts, not one calendar year. San Marino, CA inside that tag: $194,425, 79 gifts, mean about $2,461. Mean = dollars / rows. Median and unique-donor counts are not supplied.

The 2012 cycle hub is still national. The California hub is still multi-cycle. This URL is San Marino × 2012. Unitemized amounts and independent expenditures are omitted. 79 itemized rows is a moderate absolute count of receipts for this join.

Keep cityTotal and cycleTotal apart. $194,425 is the 2012 cell for San Marino, CA: itemized individual contributions in that two-year FEC window only, across 79 records. $28,503,529 is the same city string across every cycle in this extract. Subtracting them leaves $28,309,104 in other even-year windows. Citing $28,503,529 as a 2012 figure mixes the city hub into this join. Citing $194,425 as the lifetime San Marino total mixes the join into the city hub. 79 is cycleContributions for 2012 only; the packet has no all-cycle row count, so 79 cannot be turned into a share of citywide gifts. 0.68% is dollars only — $194,425 divided by $28,503,529 — not a share of California and not a share of the national 2012 cycle. PAC receipts, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other FEC tables; they are not mixed into $194,425 or $28,503,529. Donor names are not in the packet and are not invented.

Remainder after removing 2012

0.68% and 79 answer different questions. No all-cycle row count exists in the packet, so no row share is given. 0.68% is not San Marino's fraction of all 2012 itemized receipts nationwide.
