How much did Hinsdale, IL donors give in 2014?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city HINSDALE and cycle 2014 total $603,666 across 96 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Hinsdale, IL book of $29.8 million. Unitemized gifts and Illinois state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $603,666 all of Hinsdale’s federal political money?

No. $29.8 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city HINSDALE in IL. The 2014 slice is $603,666, 2.0% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Hinsdale, IL hub. 96 is a 2014 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2014 Hinsdale total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed HINSDALE with state IL. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Hinsdale can sit in $603,666 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Hinsdale, IL 2014 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $603,666 and 96 lines for HINSDALE in cycle 2014, and $29.8 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

How Hinsdale meets the 2014 election cycle

$603,666 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city HINSDALE with state IL, and election cycle 2014. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Hinsdale, IL city hub and the 2014 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Hinsdale, IL in 2014.

96 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored HINSDALE is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $6,288 ($603,666 ÷ 96). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2014 is a midterm election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $603,666. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $603,666 for the 2014 slice and $29.8 million for the Hinsdale, IL book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Hinsdale, IL side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city HINSDALE in Illinois totals $29.8 million. $603,666 is 2.0% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2014 was quiet in Hinsdale; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Hinsdale, IL table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in DuPage County, Illinois. Oak Brook and Western Springs are other western-suburb strings. State IL stays on the citation so Hinsdale is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $29.8 million is the IL key only.

The 2014 cycle side for Illinois filers in Hinsdale

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2014 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 96 Hinsdale, IL lines in that window produced $603,666. National 2014 activity — every city — lives on the 2014 election cycle hub, not here.

Illinois campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Hinsdale. Do not add $603,666 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $603,666 into spending by Hinsdale candidates.

What $603,666 does not measure

$603,666 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city HINSDALE. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Illinois file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Hinsdale can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed HINSDALE is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Hinsdale. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 96 as lines that stored this string in 2014.

Reading Hinsdale and 2014 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $603,666 beside $29.8 million does not mean 2014 “caused” the city book or that Hinsdale “drove” the 2014 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Hinsdale, IL hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Hinsdale, IL, the 2014 election cycle, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $603,666 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
