Donors in Atlanta, GA to ACTBLUE

How Atlanta, GA meets ACTBLUE on the FEC tape

$1,227,555 requires both keys at once: contributor city ATLANTA with state GA, and recipient committee C00401224 disclosed as ACTBLUE. LobbyVault keeps a Atlanta, GA city hub and a ACTBLUE committee hub. Neither hub is this page. The city hub lists every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub lists every city that gave to C00401224. This URL is only the intersection.

The packet does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or election cycles for this pair. $1,227,555 is a dollar aggregate. Treating it as a typical gift size or as a count of households is arithmetic the file does not support.

The overlay, when present, points at the live committee path for C00401224. If that overlay or a later FEC extract disagrees with $1,227,555, the Commission’s filing controls. This JSON is a snapshot of one grouped extract.

The Atlanta, GA side of the ACTBLUE join

Atlanta, GA’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $381,643,337. $1,227,555 is 0.32% of that book. A thin or moderate share is the usual result of comparing one committee with every other recipient on the city tape. The leftover $380,415,782 went to other committees under ATLANTA, or sits outside this recipient filter.

The stored city sits in Georgia. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into ATLANTA. Georgia campaign-finance pages include other cities. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $1,227,555 into spending by Atlanta, GA candidates or into independent expenditures by ACTBLUE.

ACTBLUE (C00401224) as the recipient key

C00401224 is disclosed as ACTBLUE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,227,555 is itemized individual receipts storing city ATLANTA and committee C00401224. Other cities giving to ACTBLUE 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. ACTBLUE on another ID is a different page. This URL is Atlanta, GA × C00401224, not Georgia × C00401224 and not every spelling of ATLANTA. If a live overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,227,555, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Atlanta, GA book

0.32% of $381,643,337 is $1,227,555 to ACTBLUE (C00401224). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Atlanta, GA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $381,643,337 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.32% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00401224 filter.

The leftover $380,415,782 under the ATLANTA city string went to other committees. The Atlanta, GA hub holds that remainder. The ACTBLUE page holds receipts whose city field did not store ATLANTA. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00401224; each join is its own filter.

What the Atlanta, GA × ACTBLUE dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,227,555. Georgia 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 $1,227,555 as proof that Atlanta, GA “funded” ACTBLUE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Georgia. 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 $1,227,555 to federal spending in Georgia.

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. Atlanta’s ACTBLUE cell is $1,227,555 against $381,643,337 (0.32%). Washington, DC and Beverly Hills also appear as ACTBLUE city joins on other URLs; those dollars are not inside $1,227,555. ATLANTA is the stored city string for this page.

How to cite the Atlanta, GA × ACTBLUE join

Internal links go to Atlanta, GA, ACTBLUE, Georgia campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $381,643,337 book and the committees that received the leftover $380,415,782. The committee page holds C00401224 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: Atlanta, GA and ACTBLUE (C00401224). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,227,555 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 $1,227,555, $381,643,337, 0.32%, leftover $380,415,782, and C00401224. Keep both sides named: ATLANTA as filer-entered city, ACTBLUE 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

How much did Atlanta, GA donors give ACTBLUE?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city ATLANTA and recipient ACTBLUE (C00401224) total $1,227,555 in this extract. That is the join, not Atlanta, GA’s all-committee book of $381,643,337. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Atlanta, GA total include every spelling of the city name?

No. ATLANTA is the exact stored city string with state GA. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $1,227,555. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Atlanta, GA hub for the all-committee book of $381,643,337.
