Wichita, KS political money — 2010 cycle

$227,654 at the Wichita, KS × 2010 intersection

At the intersection of Wichita, KS and the 2010 FEC cycle, itemized individual contributions sum to $227,654. The count of those itemized records is 164. Divide the two numbers and the mean line is about $1,388. Keep that ratio in its lane: it is $227,654 divided by 164, not a household survey and not a median gift.

Across cycles, Wichita in KS totals $115,332,696. $227,654 is 0.2% of that book; $115,105,042 is the other 99.8%. A small or large share does not grade the city. It only locates this even-year tag inside a multi-cycle stack. Later or earlier cycles for the same city string live on other tie URLs.

2010 is a midterm election cycle. Federal cycles are two-year FEC windows, not a January-to-December census of Sedgwick County, Kansas. National 2010 activity — every city — lives on the cycle hub. Kansas-wide activity lives on the state hub. This page keeps the filter pair.

All-cycle Wichita, KS dollars versus this window

$115,332,696 answers “how much itemized individual money has this city string produced in the extract?” $227,654 answers “how much of that carried cycle 2010?” Those are different questions. 0.2% is the second divided by the first. 99.8% is the rest.

Keep KS on the city name. Wichita in another state would be a different slug and a different dollar stack. Derby, Andover, and Goddard illustrate the split: those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into Wichita. The Wichita, KS hub remains the all-cycle door; this URL remains the 2010 door.

Presidential versus midterm labeling for 2010

A midterm FEC cycle: a two-year window labeled by its even year, without a presidential general on the ballot. Inside it, Wichita, KS itemized $227,654. Outside it, the same city string still has $115,105,042 in other tags. The midterm label does not allocate $227,654 by presidential versus down-ballot committees; that split is not in the packet.

Two-year windows overlap calendar years. A gift dated in the odd year before 2010 can still carry the 2010 tag. Do not treat $227,654 as “calendar 2010 only.” Treat it as FEC cycle 2010 for city Wichita.

Filer-entered city strings

What is out: unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, party coordinated expenditures, PAC-to-PAC transfers, and Kansas state-office filings. What is in: itemized federal individual contributions with city Wichita and cycle 2010. $227,654 and 164 describe only the in-set.

Filer-entered cities split metros. Derby, Andover, and Goddard show the split. those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into Wichita. Quote Wichita as stored. For PHILA, that stored token is an abbreviation, not a recode of every Philadelphia spelling.

Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city Wichita, state KS, election cycle 2010, itemized dollars $227,654, itemized rows 164, all-cycle city dollars $115,332,696. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2010 is a midterm election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Sedgwick County, Kansas against other places.

Where did Wichita, KS 2010 contributions go?
