Donors in Washington, DC to WOMEN VOTE

How Washington, DC meets WOMEN VOTE on the FEC tape

$5,407,626 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city WASHINGTON with state DC, and recipient committee C00473918 disclosed as WOMEN VOTE. LobbyVault keeps a Washington, DC city hub and a committee hub for WOMEN VOTE. 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 C00473918. This page is only both filters at once.

WOMEN VOTE is the stored name on C00473918. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $5,407,626. 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. WASHINGTON 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 WASHINGTON and a different committee ID is in the leftover $3.74 billion of the city book, not in $5,407,626.

The Washington, DC side of the WOMEN VOTE join

Washington, DC’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $3.74 billion. $5,407,626 is 0.14% of Washington, DC’s $3.74 billion all-committee book. A small share is expected when one committee is compared with every other recipient on the city tape. The leftover $3.74 billion went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Washington, DC hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in District of Columbia. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into WASHINGTON. District of Columbia campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $5,407,626 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 $5,407,626 into spending by Washington, DC candidates or into independent expenditures by WOMEN VOTE.

WOMEN VOTE (C00473918) as the recipient key

C00473918 is disclosed as WOMEN VOTE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $5,407,626 is itemized individual receipts storing city WASHINGTON and committee C00473918. Other cities giving to WOMEN VOTE 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. WOMEN VOTE on another ID is a different page. This URL is Washington, DC × C00473918, not District of Columbia × C00473918 and not every spelling of WASHINGTON. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $5,407,626, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Washington, DC book

0.14% of $3.74 billion is $5,407,626 to WOMEN VOTE (C00473918). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Washington, DC as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $3.74 billion city book went to other committees unless 0.14% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00473918 filter.

The leftover $3.74 billion under the WASHINGTON city string went to other committees. The Washington, DC hub holds that remainder. The WOMEN VOTE page holds receipts whose city field did not store WASHINGTON. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00473918; each join is its own filter.

What the Washington, DC × WOMEN VOTE dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $5,407,626. District of Columbia 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 $5,407,626 as proof that Washington, DC “funded” WOMEN VOTE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in District of Columbia. 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 $5,407,626 to federal spending in District of Columbia.

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 Washington, DC × WOMEN VOTE join

Internal links go to Washington, DC, WOMEN VOTE, District of Columbia campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $3.74 billion book and the committees that received the leftover $3.74 billion. The committee page holds C00473918 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: Washington, DC and WOMEN VOTE (C00473918). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $5,407,626 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 $5,407,626, $3.74 billion, 0.14%, leftover $3.74 billion, and C00473918. Keep both sides named: WASHINGTON as filer-entered city, WOMEN VOTE 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.

No. WASHINGTON is the exact stored city string with state DC. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $5,407,626. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Washington, DC hub for the all-committee book of $3.74 billion.
