Oak Brook, IL and the 2012 FEC election cycle

Reading $143,703 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 Oak Brook, IL and 2012 overlap, the packet stores $143,703 and 98 contributions. That is smaller than the city lifetime figure $27,513,396 and is not a statewide Illinois total for 2012.

Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,466. That mean is $143,703 divided by 98. 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 $143,703, treat the live table as current and this JSON as a snapshot.

$27,513,396 across cycles on city key OAK BROOK

Keep Oak Brook, 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 $143,703.

Oak Brook is stored as OAK BROOK in Illinois. Chicago, Hinsdale, and Naperville are other city keys. The city lifetime total $27,513,396 is likewise limited to OAK BROOK. 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 2012

FEC even-year labels are not the same grain as a January–December calendar year. The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. Primary dates, runoff dates, and general-election dates also do not split $143,703 in this file.

The 98 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. $143,703 does not prove that local events in Oak Brook caused giving, or that 2012 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 $143,703; 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Do not cite this page as a donor list. Do not cite it as a ranking of Illinois cities.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: $143,703, 98 lines, Oak Brook, IL, 2012, FEC.gov. Share language, if used, must say 0.52% of the stored Oak Brook total $27,513,396, not 0.52% of national 2012 receipts.

Numbers this file is allowed to repeat

The first sentence of this article led with $143,703. The last section returns to it so the join cannot be misread as a city profile or a cycle profile. Oak Brook, IL without 2012 is $27,513,396. 2012 without Oak Brook, IL is a different hub. Together they are $143,703 from 98 itemized lines. That is the entire authorized story. Restating without new facts: Oak Brook, IL in 2012 is $143,703 from 98 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $27,513,396 across cycles, so this window is about 0.52% and other windows hold $27,369,693. Arithmetic mean per line is about $1,466. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2012 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $143,703: donor city Oak Brook, IL and FEC cycle 2012, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 98 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Oak Brook cycle pages. City lifetime money $27,513,396 already includes the 2012 window; do not add $143,703 to $27,513,396.

Questions

How much did Oak Brook donors give in 2012?

FEC individual-contribution aggregates assign $143,703 to donor city OAK BROOK in IL during cycle 2012. Volume is 98 itemized lines. This is not PAC spending and not a federal award total. Other even-year windows for Oak Brook are other pages; they are not mixed into $143,703.

What share of Oak Brook FEC money is 2012?

The 2012 window holds $143,703 of $27,513,396 recorded for Oak Brook, IL, roughly 0.52%. The 2012 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2011 from 2012. Because the city total already includes 2012, adding the slice to the lifetime total would double-count.

Is Oak Brook folded into Chicago?

The packet does not merge look-alike city names. Oak Brook, IL is one key. Same-name cities in other states are other pages. ZIP codes filed with a different city string are out of $143,703 even if the ZIP sits in Oak Brook.

Four packet links cover the overlays: /cities/il-oak-brook/, /election-cycles/2012/, /states/IL/, and /ties/. No additional URLs are authorized. If you need another cycle of Oak Brook, that is a different city-cycle slug, not an extra href here. FEC.gov is the source for $143,703, 98 contributions, and the $27,513,396 city total on Oak Brook, IL.
