Donors in Ft Lauderdale, FL to PRIORITIES USA ACTION

How Ft Lauderdale, FL meets Priorities USA Action on the FEC tape

$1,000,000 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city FT LAUDERDALE with state FL, and recipient committee C00495861 disclosed as PRIORITIES USA ACTION. LobbyVault keeps a Ft Lauderdale, FL city hub and a committee hub for Priorities USA Action. 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 C00495861. This page is only both filters at once.

PRIORITIES USA ACTION is the stored name on C00495861. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $1,000,000. 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. FT LAUDERDALE 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 FT LAUDERDALE and a different committee ID is in the leftover $22,841,914 of the city book, not in $1,000,000.

The Ft Lauderdale, FL side of the Priorities USA Action join

Ft Lauderdale, FL’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $23,841,914. $1,000,000 is 4.2% of Ft Lauderdale, FL’s $23,841,914 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to Priorities USA Action. The leftover $22,841,914 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Ft Lauderdale, FL hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in Florida. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into FT LAUDERDALE. Florida campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000 into spending by Ft Lauderdale, FL candidates or into independent expenditures by Priorities USA Action.

PRIORITIES USA ACTION (C00495861) as the recipient key

C00495861 is disclosed as PRIORITIES USA ACTION. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,000,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city FT LAUDERDALE and committee C00495861. Other cities giving to Priorities USA Action 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. Priorities USA Action on another ID is a different page. This URL is Ft Lauderdale, FL × C00495861, not Florida × C00495861 and not every spelling of FT LAUDERDALE. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,000,000, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Ft Lauderdale, FL book

4.2% of $23,841,914 is $1,000,000 to PRIORITIES USA ACTION (C00495861). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Ft Lauderdale, FL as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $23,841,914 city book went to other committees unless 4.2% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00495861 filter.

The leftover $22,841,914 under the FT LAUDERDALE city string went to other committees. The Ft Lauderdale, FL hub holds that remainder. The Priorities USA Action page holds receipts whose city field did not store FT LAUDERDALE. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00495861; each join is its own filter.

What the Ft Lauderdale, FL × Priorities USA Action dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,000,000. Florida 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 $1,000,000 as proof that Ft Lauderdale, FL “funded” Priorities USA Action as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Florida. 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 $1,000,000 to federal spending in Florida.

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 Ft Lauderdale, FL × Priorities USA Action join

Internal links go to Ft Lauderdale, FL, PRIORITIES USA ACTION, Florida campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $23,841,914 book and the committees that received the leftover $22,841,914. The committee page holds C00495861 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: Ft Lauderdale, FL and PRIORITIES USA ACTION (C00495861). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,000,000 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 $1,000,000, $23,841,914, 4.2%, leftover $22,841,914, and C00495861. Keep both sides named: FT LAUDERDALE as filer-entered city, PRIORITIES USA ACTION 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.
