FEC join: Louisville, KY and ACTBLUE

Headline cell $623,618

FEC.gov itemized individual contributions are grouped by donor city and recipient committee. For LOUISVILLE, KY × ACTBLUE, the published overlap is $623,618. Cycle splits, donor names, and receipt counts are absent from the packet. Do not invent a headcount from the dollar figure.

ACTBLUE is the stored name on C00401224. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and conduit memo entries can sit inside a city×committee total without this packet splitting them. Do not invent donor names. The committee title is a recipient label, not a roster of contributors in Louisville. LOUISVILLE in Kentucky is the stored city; Jefferson County and other Kentucky place names are other keys. ACTBLUE’s $623,618 sits inside a $125,985,924 Louisville book. This is not a ranking of Kentucky cities.

KY city string LOUISVILLE

The city book $125,985,924 is not a budget. It is a sum of Schedule A lines that stored this city string. PAC addresses, joint-fundraising addresses, and household streets that stored LOUISVILLE follow the same rule. Leftover after C00401224: $125,362,306.

Louisville is displayed for readers; LOUISVILLE is the grouping key. Titles use Louisville, KY. The leftover $125,362,306 is $125,985,924 minus $623,618 on this extract only. The Kentucky hub is a different roll-up.

Recipient ID C00401224

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. $623,618 is itemized individual receipts storing city LOUISVILLE and committee C00401224. Other cities giving to ACTBLUE appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Committee hubs roll up every city. This join does not. $623,618 is not the committee's national total. Researchers who need the all-city figure must leave this URL for the ACTBLUE hub.

Louisville, KY remainder after ACTBLUE

0.49% of $125,985,924 is $623,618 to ACTBLUE (C00401224). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Louisville, KY as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $125,985,924 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.49% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00401224 filter.

The leftover $125,362,306 under the LOUISVILLE city string went to other committees. The Louisville, KY hub holds that remainder. The ACTBLUE page holds receipts whose city field did not store LOUISVILLE. Do not stack this cell with another city's gifts to C00401224; each join is its own filter.

Caveats on motive and spending

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $623,618. Kentucky 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 $623,618 as proof that Louisville, KY funded ACTBLUE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Kentucky. 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 $623,618 to federal spending in Kentucky.

Keep Louisville and ACTBLUE in one sentence

Internal links go to Louisville, KY, ACTBLUE, Kentucky campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $125,985,924 book and the committees that received the leftover $125,362,306. 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: Louisville, KY and ACTBLUE (C00401224). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $623,618 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 $623,618, $125,985,924, 0.49%, leftover $125,362,306, and C00401224.
