Lake Forest, IL political money — 2010 cycle

Reading $137,254 as a two-table overlap

Two public tables meet here. One groups itemized individual receipts by donor city. The other groups the same receipts by even-year FEC cycle. Where Lake Forest, IL and 2010 overlap, the packet stores $137,254 and 83 contributions. That is smaller than the city lifetime figure $157,374,022 and is not a statewide Illinois total for 2010.

Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,654. That mean is $137,254 divided by 83. It is not a median, not a typical-donor portrait, and not a contribution limit. FEC itemization thresholds and committee reporting rules sit outside this packet. If a live overlay disagrees with $137,254, treat the live table as current and this JSON as a snapshot.

$157,374,022 across cycles on city key LAKE FOREST

Keep Lake Forest, IL geographically tight. Illinois campaign-finance pages mix many cities. This join uses one city key and one cycle. If a filer in a nearby town used a different city string, those dollars are not in $137,254.

Lake Forest is stored as LAKE FOREST in Illinois. Highland Park, Winnetka, and Chicago are other city keys. Same-named Lake Forest strings in other states are other pages. The city lifetime total $157,374,022 is likewise limited to LAKE FOREST. It is not a metro statistical-area total and not a county total. County and MSA rolls are not in the facts.

Two-year tagging for cycle 2010

FEC even-year labels are not the same grain as a January–December calendar year. The 2010 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2009 from 2010. Primary dates, runoff dates, and general-election dates also do not split $137,254 in this file.

The 83 lines are not labeled as primary versus general in the facts. They are not labeled as candidate versus PAC versus party committee in the facts. Recipient-side pages exist elsewhere; this join stays on city × cycle.

PAC money, awards, and unitemized gifts

Correlation of a city and a cycle is not causation. $137,254 does not prove that local events in Lake Forest caused giving, or that 2010 national contests caused giving. The table records matching form fields. Treat the number as a public-record cell. Unitemized receipts, if any, would raise a true economic-support figure above $137,254; this file does not estimate that gap.

Internal links for this city-cycle tie

Do not cite this page as a donor list. Do not cite it as a ranking of Illinois cities. Cite it as a city-cycle aggregate: $137,254, 83 lines, Lake Forest, IL, 2010, FEC.gov. Share language, if used, must say 0.087% of the stored Lake Forest total $157,374,022, not 0.087% of national 2010 receipts.

Numbers this file is allowed to repeat

The first sentence of this article led with $137,254. The last section returns to it so the join cannot be misread as a city profile or a cycle profile. Lake Forest, IL without 2010 is $157,374,022. 2010 without Lake Forest, IL is a different hub. Together they are $137,254 from 83 itemized lines. That is the entire authorized story. Restating without new facts: Lake Forest, IL in 2010 is $137,254 from 83 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $157,374,022 across cycles, so this window is about 0.09% and other windows hold $157,236,768. Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,654. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2010 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $137,254: donor city Lake Forest, IL and FEC cycle 2010, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 83 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Lake Forest cycle pages.

Questions

How much did Lake Forest donors give in 2010?

FEC individual-contribution aggregates assign $137,254 to donor city LAKE FOREST in IL during cycle 2010. Volume is 83 itemized lines. This is not PAC spending and not a federal award total. Other even-year windows for Lake Forest are other pages; they are not mixed into $137,254.

What share of Lake Forest FEC money is 2010?

The 2010 window holds $137,254 of $157,374,022 recorded for Lake Forest, IL, roughly 0.087%. The 2010 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2009 from 2010. Because the city total already includes 2010, adding the slice to the lifetime total would double-count.

Does this include Lake Forest in other states?

The packet does not merge look-alike city names. Lake Forest, IL is one key. Same-name cities in other states are other pages. ZIP codes filed with a different city string are out of $137,254 even if the ZIP sits in Lake Forest.

Where are the Lake Forest and 2010 overlay pages?

Four packet links cover the overlays: /cities/il-lake-forest/, /election-cycles/2010/, /states/IL/, and /ties/. No additional URLs are authorized. If you need another cycle of Lake Forest, that is a different city-cycle slug, not an extra href here. FEC.gov is the source for $137,254, 83 contributions, and the $157,374,022 city total on Lake Forest, IL.
