Donors in Walnut Creek, CA to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL

How Walnut Creek, CA meets DNC-Non-Federal on the FEC tape

$2,500,000 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city WALNUT CREEK with state CA, and recipient committee C60000254 disclosed as DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL. LobbyVault keeps a Walnut Creek, CA city hub and a committee hub for DNC-Non-Federal. 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 C60000254. This page is only both filters at once.

DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL is the stored name on C60000254. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $2,500,000. 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. WALNUT CREEK 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 WALNUT CREEK and a different committee ID is in the leftover $24,434,936 of the city book, not in $2,500,000.

The Walnut Creek, CA side of the DNC-Non-Federal join

Walnut Creek, CA’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $26,934,936. $2,500,000 is 9.3% of Walnut Creek, CA’s $26,934,936 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to DNC-Non-Federal. The leftover $24,434,936 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Walnut Creek, 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 WALNUT CREEK. California campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $2,500,000 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 $2,500,000 into spending by Walnut Creek, CA candidates or into independent expenditures by DNC-Non-Federal.

DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254) as the recipient key

C60000254 is disclosed as DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $2,500,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city WALNUT CREEK and committee C60000254. Other cities giving to DNC-Non-Federal 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. DNC-Non-Federal on another ID is a different page. This URL is Walnut Creek, CA × C60000254, not California × C60000254 and not every spelling of WALNUT CREEK. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $2,500,000, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Walnut Creek, CA book

9.3% of $26,934,936 is $2,500,000 to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Walnut Creek, CA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $26,934,936 city book went to other committees unless 9.3% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C60000254 filter.

The leftover $24,434,936 under the WALNUT CREEK city string went to other committees. The Walnut Creek, CA hub holds that remainder. The DNC-Non-Federal page holds receipts whose city field did not store WALNUT CREEK. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C60000254; each join is its own filter.

What the Walnut Creek, CA × DNC-Non-Federal dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $2,500,000. 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 $2,500,000 as proof that Walnut Creek, CA “funded” DNC-Non-Federal 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 $2,500,000 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 Walnut Creek, CA × DNC-Non-Federal join

Internal links go to Walnut Creek, CA, DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $26,934,936 book and the committees that received the leftover $24,434,936. The committee page holds C60000254 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: Walnut Creek, CA and DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $2,500,000 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 $2,500,000, $26,934,936, 9.3%, leftover $24,434,936, and C60000254. Keep both sides named: WALNUT CREEK as filer-entered city, DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL 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.

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city WALNUT CREEK and recipient DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254) total $2,500,000 in this extract. That is the join, not Walnut Creek, CA’s all-committee book of $26,934,936. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Walnut Creek, CA total include every spelling of the city name?

No. WALNUT CREEK is the exact stored city string with state CA. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $2,500,000. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Walnut Creek, CA hub for the all-committee book of $26,934,936.

$2,500,000 is 9.3% of the $26,934,936 Walnut Creek, CA city book. The leftover $24,434,936 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C60000254. Do not upgrade 9.3% into a ranking of civic preference.
