Donors in Greenwich, CT to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Relationship between Greenwich and Republican National Cmte

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered city GREENWICH in Connecticut. The other side is REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE on C00003418. $499,013 is what remains after both filters. Opening only the Greenwich, CT hub restates $281,199,418. Opening only the committee hub restates every city that gave to C00003418. Adding those hubs together double-counts.

City labels are filer-entered. GREENWICH is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A neighboring municipality is another hub. A GREENWICH line to a different committee ID sits in the leftover $280,700,405, not in $499,013.

Greenwich, CT sits in Connecticut. The state campaign-finance hub includes other cities. Do not add $499,013 to the state total; the state extract already contains these rows when the tape is the same.

City hub versus this cell

Take the committee filter off and GREENWICH still shows $281,199,418 itemized. $499,013 is the slice tagged to C00003418. Open the Greenwich, CT hub for the remainder $280,700,405. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418) received $499,013 from GREENWICH, 0.18% of a $281,199,418 city book. This ID is C00003418, not the RNC Contributions account C00003376 and not the RNC State Elections committee C60000015.

Committee hub versus this cell

C00003418 is disclosed as REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $499,013 is itemized individual receipts storing city GREENWICH and committee C00003418. Other cities giving to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Long or truncated FEC names stay as stored. DBA clauses, AKA clauses, slashes, and parentheticals are part of the label on C00003418. Short titles on this page still point at that ID. Do not invent a cleaner legal name.

Exact-match city strings

0.18% of $281,199,418 is $499,013 to REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Greenwich, CT as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $281,199,418 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.18% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00003418 filter.

The leftover $280,700,405 under the GREENWICH city string went to other committees. The Greenwich, CT hub holds that remainder. The REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE page holds receipts whose city field did not store GREENWICH. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00003418; each join is its own filter.

Outside the $499,013 total

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $499,013. Connecticut 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 $499,013 as proof that Greenwich, CT “funded” REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Connecticut. 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 $499,013 to federal spending in Connecticut.

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. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418) received $499,013 from GREENWICH, 0.18% of a $281,199,418 city book. This ID is C00003418, not the RNC Contributions account C00003376 and not the RNC State Elections committee C60000015.

How researchers should quote C00003418

Internal links go to Greenwich, CT, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE, Connecticut campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $281,199,418 book and the committees that received the leftover $280,700,405. The committee page holds C00003418 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: Greenwich, CT and REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $499,013 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 $499,013, $281,199,418, 0.18%, leftover $280,700,405, and C00003418. Keep both sides named: GREENWICH as filer-entered city, REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE 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

What is the Greenwich × Republican National Cmte FEC total?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city GREENWICH and recipient REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE (C00003418) total $499,013 in this extract. That is the join, not Greenwich, CT’s all-committee book of $281,199,418. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is GREENWICH merged with nearby cities?

No. GREENWICH is the exact stored city string with state CT. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $499,013. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Greenwich, CT hub for the all-committee book of $281,199,418.

How much of the $281.2M Greenwich book is C00003418?

$499,013 is 0.18% of the $281,199,418 Greenwich, CT city book. The leftover $280,700,405 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C00003418. Do not upgrade 0.18% into a ranking of civic preference.

Do Greenwich donations to Republican National Cmte fund USAspending awards?

No. The series is FEC individual contributions. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Geography on a contribution line does not convert the gift into a federal award in Connecticut.
