FEC join: Fairfield, CT and DNC-Non-Federal Individual
Committee DNC-Non-Federal Individual (C60000254) received $375,000 in itemized individual contributions that stored contributor city FAIRFIELD in CT. Against $24,944,085 of Fairfield, CT itemized dollars to all recipients, the slice is 1.5%. Correlation is not causation. An address in Fairfield does not locate the campaign office.
Key figures
- $375,000 is the Fairfield, CT × DNC-Non-Federal Individual (C60000254) join.
- $24,944,085 is the all-committee Fairfield, CT book; this committee is 1.5% of that book.
- This page is a city × committee join, not a donor roster.
- FAIRFIELD is an exact filer-entered city string in CT.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
Why this page is not a Fairfield donor list
FAIRFIELD is the city key. C60000254 is the committee key. $375,000 is the dollar overlap. $24,944,085 is the city parent set. 1.5% is the quotient. Five facts, one join. This page does not add a sixth fact by listing contributors.
A searcher looking for a roster of Fairfield people who gave to DNC-Non-Federal Individual will not find names here. The packet did not include them. FEC bulk files remain the place to inspect itemized lines if a researcher has a lawful need for those rows.
C60000254 is stored as DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL, a distinct account from other DNC committee IDs. Fairfield is stored as FAIRFIELD in Connecticut; Bridgeport, Westport, and other Fairfield County strings are other keys. Source: FEC.gov aggregates grouped by donor city and recipient committee.
The parent set: Fairfield, CT to every committee
Parent set $24,944,085: every itemized individual dollar stored under FAIRFIELD in this extract. Subset $375,000: those dollars whose recipient is C60000254. Complement $24,569,085: every other recipient. The parent is not a donor list either; it is a city aggregate.
All FEC ties indexes other city-committee pages, including other Fairfield joins and other DNC-Non-Federal Individual joins. Sibling joins are not components of $375,000.
Keeping C60000254 on the citation
Researchers should keep C60000254 in footnotes even when the prose uses DNC-Non-Federal Individual. IDs do not collide the way names do. $375,000 attaches to C60000254 and city FAIRFIELD together.
All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. A sibling join to a different committee from Fairfield is not a component of $375,000. A sibling join to DNC-Non-Federal Individual from another city is not a component of $375,000.
Packet slug ct-fairfield-to-dnc-non-federal-individual is the LobbyVault filename for this Fairfield × DNC-Non-Federal Individual join. Canonical path is /ties/ct-fairfield-to-dnc-non-federal-individual/. Overlay the city hub and the committee hub; do not treat either hub as $375,000.
City string FAIRFIELD plus state CT plus committee C60000254 is the three-part key behind $375,000. Drop the state and a same-named city elsewhere could collide. Drop the committee and the page becomes the city hub of $24,944,085. Keep all three.
Remainder $24,569,085 stays in Fairfield
$24,569,085 did not leave Fairfield. It left this committee filter. The city hub still holds those dollars. This tie does not itemize which other committees received them.
Researchers who need the rest of Fairfield should open the Fairfield, CT hub. Researchers who need $375,000 should stay on this /ties/ URL.
Recompute the share from the raw integers: 375,000 divided by 24,944,085 is 1.5%. The complement 24,569,085 is $24,569,085, which is 98.5% of the FAIRFIELD city book. Those identities do not invent a receipt count.
FEC individual contributions are not USAspending obligations. $375,000 has no award count beside it in this packet. Do not fold $375,000 into federal spending in Fairfield or Connecticut. Different statutes, different forms, different tables.
Unitemized gifts and other FEC tables
Unitemized gifts below the federal itemization threshold never enter $375,000 or $24,944,085. Independent expenditures never enter them. Committee-to-committee transfers never enter them. The operational definition remains itemized individual Schedule A lines with both stored keys.
Mixing those other tables with this join would invent a total the packet does not contain. Stay on itemized individuals.
Connecticut campaign-finance coverage still includes every other CT city. This tie does not. Researchers who need a state mix should leave this URL and open the Connecticut hub. Researchers who need Fairfield to DNC-Non-Federal Individual should stay here.
Do not invent donor names. Do not invent a unique-person count. The packet published city, committee, $375,000, and $24,944,085. That is the complete numeric payload besides stored labels FAIRFIELD and DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL.
Canonical path for Fairfield to C60000254
Canonical path /ties/ct-fairfield-to-dnc-non-federal-individual/ is the /ties/ URL for Fairfield, CT to DNC-Non-Federal Individual. Slug ct-fairfield-to-dnc-non-federal-individual is the filename. Overlay the city hub and the committee hub; do not treat either hub as $375,000.
Packet slug and canonical path are navigation, not extra dollars. The money remains $375,000 inside $24,944,085.
Itemized individual contributions are the only money in $375,000 and $24,944,085. PAC disbursements, party coordinated expenditures, and independent expenditures are other FEC files. Mixing those files with this join would invent a total the packet does not contain.
If a later extract revises $375,000 or $24,944,085, the live Fairfield, CT hub and the live DNC-Non-Federal Individual hub control. This file is a packet snapshot, not a parallel disclosure system. Amended FEC reports can move either side of the join.
Questions
- What is the Fairfield, CT × DNC-Non-Federal Individual join?
- It is $375,000 in itemized individual contributions matching donor city FAIRFIELD (CT) and recipient DNC-Non-Federal Individual (C60000254). The city hub without that committee filter is $24,944,085. This page is the intersection, not a restatement of either hub and not a named-donor list. Source: FEC.gov.
- Why does this page omit a donor count?
- Because the packet did not include one. Unique-person counts and receipt counts are unpublished for this city-committee pair. Inventing a headcount would violate the facts-only rule. Quote $375,000 and $24,944,085 without a fake number of people. FEC bulk files remain the source for line-level rows.
- Is FAIRFIELD merged with nearby Connecticut cities?
- No. Fairfield is stored as FAIRFIELD in Connecticut; Bridgeport, Westport, and other Fairfield County strings are other keys. $375,000 and $24,944,085 follow the exact stored city string plus state CT. Nearby spellings are other pages. LobbyVault does not recode contributor city into a metro. Keep CT on the name so same-named cities in other states do not collide.
- Does $375,000 fund USAspending awards coded to Fairfield?
- No. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes. This packet has only FEC individual contribution aggregates. $375,000 has no obligation dollars beside it. Do not add the join to federal spending in Fairfield or Connecticut. Cite FEC.gov for the contribution file.
FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by donor city and recipient committee. Not independent expenditures.
