Donors in Palm Beach, FL to TRUMP VICTORY

How Palm Beach, FL meets Trump Victory on the FEC tape

$1,390,500 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city PALM BEACH with state FL, and recipient committee C00618389 disclosed as TRUMP VICTORY. LobbyVault keeps a Palm Beach, FL city hub and a committee hub for Trump Victory. 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 C00618389. This page is only both filters at once.

TRUMP VICTORY is the stored name on C00618389. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $1,390,500. 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. PALM BEACH 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 PALM BEACH and a different committee ID is in the leftover $107,267,271 of the city book, not in $1,390,500.

The Palm Beach, FL side of the Trump Victory join

Palm Beach, FL’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $108,657,771. $1,390,500 is 1.3% of Palm Beach, FL’s $108,657,771 all-committee book. A small share is expected when one committee is compared with every other recipient on the city tape. The leftover $107,267,271 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Palm Beach, 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 PALM BEACH. Florida campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $1,390,500 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 $1,390,500 into spending by Palm Beach, FL candidates or into independent expenditures by Trump Victory.

TRUMP VICTORY (C00618389) as the recipient key

C00618389 is disclosed as TRUMP VICTORY. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,390,500 is itemized individual receipts storing city PALM BEACH and committee C00618389. Other cities giving to Trump Victory 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. Trump Victory on another ID is a different page. This URL is Palm Beach, FL × C00618389, not Florida × C00618389 and not every spelling of PALM BEACH. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,390,500, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Palm Beach, FL book

1.3% of $108,657,771 is $1,390,500 to TRUMP VICTORY (C00618389). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Palm Beach, FL as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $108,657,771 city book went to other committees unless 1.3% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00618389 filter.

The leftover $107,267,271 under the PALM BEACH city string went to other committees. The Palm Beach, FL hub holds that remainder. The Trump Victory page holds receipts whose city field did not store PALM BEACH. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00618389; each join is its own filter.

What the Palm Beach, FL × Trump Victory dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,390,500. 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 $1,390,500 as proof that Palm Beach, FL “funded” Trump Victory 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 $1,390,500 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 Palm Beach, FL × Trump Victory join

Internal links go to Palm Beach, FL, TRUMP VICTORY, Florida campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $108,657,771 book and the committees that received the leftover $107,267,271. The committee page holds C00618389 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: Palm Beach, FL and TRUMP VICTORY (C00618389). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,390,500 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 $1,390,500, $108,657,771, 1.3%, leftover $107,267,271, and C00618389. Keep both sides named: PALM BEACH as filer-entered city, TRUMP VICTORY 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.
