Orlando, FL political money — 2010 cycle

Overlap dollars for Orlando, FL in 2010

Orlando, FL in 2010 is a filter, not a story about why money moved. The filtered dollars are $230,779. The filtered rows are 196. The unfiltered city dollars are $76,048,272. FEC.gov publishes the underlying itemized individual contribution file; this page reports the aggregate join only.

0.3% of the Orlando, FL stack landed in the 2010 tag under this extract. That is $230,779 out of $76,048,272. The other 99.7% — $75,817,493 — carries other cycle labels. Dollar share and row volume are separate facts. This packet has no all-cycle row count, so a row-share percentage is not computed.

2010 is a midterm FEC cycle: a two-year window labeled by its even year, without a presidential general on the ballot. The presidential or midterm label is a ballot calendar, not a finding about Orange County, Florida. Committees that received these gifts can file from any state. Donor city is not recipient city.

Geography: Orange County, Florida

Map first, then dollars: Orlando, FL is stored against Orange County, Florida. Neighbors include Winter Park, Kissimmee, and Altamonte Springs; those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into ORLANDO. The dollar facts remain $230,779 in 2010 and $76,048,272 across cycles. Geography does not change the arithmetic.

Florida pages accumulate every city in the state. Do not add $230,779 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. The city page already contains this cycle. Only the tie page isolates both filters at once.

Cycle 2010 is not a calendar-year census

FEC.gov cycle 2010 is a midterm FEC cycle: a two-year window labeled by its even year, without a presidential general on the ballot. Orlando, FL activity inside that window is $230,779 / 196 receipts. Mean about $1,177. The mean is not a typical Orange County, Florida household.

State-office campaigns in Florida file under state law and sit outside both $230,779 and $76,048,272. Federal itemized individual contributions are the only dollars on this page.

Unitemized gifts sit outside $230,779

Unitemized contributions below the FEC itemization threshold are omitted from both $230,779 and $76,048,272. Independent expenditures are another table. PAC transfers are another table. Mixing those tables with this join would misstate 2010 activity in Orlando, FL.

A candidate based in Orlando can raise from other cities; those receipts have other city keys. Money that left ORLANDO addresses in 2010 can support committees anywhere. Donor city ≠ recipient city.

Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city ORLANDO, state FL, election cycle 2010, itemized dollars $230,779, itemized rows 196, all-cycle city dollars $76,048,272. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2010 is a midterm election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Orange County, Florida against other places.

Correlation is not causation

Use Orlando, FL when the year does not matter. Use 2010 election cycle when the city does not matter. Use Florida campaign finance when the question is Florida-wide. Use this page when both city and 2010 matter. Use All FEC ties to move to another pair.

The source system is FEC.gov. LobbyVault indexes aggregates. Neither site is a bank of federal awards. USAspending is a different statute and a different table.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around Orlando, FL, filers also use labels such as Winter Park, Kissimmee, and Altamonte Springs; those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into ORLANDO. Those dollars, if any, sit on other city keys. Unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, and Florida state-office filings sit outside $230,779 and outside $76,048,272. FEC.gov is the source; USAspending is a different statute and is not funded by these receipts.

0.3% of the city stack is still one join

Orlando × 2010 remains $230,779 / 196 / mean $1,177 / city $76,048,272 / share 0.3%. That is the recap. The rest of the page exists to stop those numbers from being pasted onto the wrong hub.

See Orlando, FL, 2010 election cycle, Florida campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Do not invent donor names. Do not claim donations fund federal awards.

Arithmetic that stays inside the packet: $230,779 is 0.3% of $76,048,272; $75,817,493 is the other 99.7%; mean itemized line is about $1,177 ($230,779 ÷ 196). No unique-donor count, median, party split, or committee list is available here. Donor city is not recipient city. If the live Orlando, FL hub or the live 2010 cycle hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.
