New Orleans, LA contributions to ACTBLUE (C00401224)

$482,100 as a two-field overlap

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered city NEW ORLEANS in Louisiana. The other side is ACTBLUE on C00401224. $482,100 is what remains after both filters. Opening only the New Orleans, LA hub restates $96,628,564. Opening only the committee hub restates every city that gave to C00401224. Adding those hubs together double-counts.

City labels are filer-entered. NEW ORLEANS is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A neighboring municipality is another hub. A NEW ORLEANS line to a different committee ID sits in the leftover $96,146,464, not in $482,100. NEW ORLEANS is the stored string, not Metairie and not a parish roll-up. ACTBLUE’s $482,100 sits inside a $96,628,564 New Orleans book. Louisiana’s state hub already contains these rows when the tape matches.

NEW ORLEANS without the C00401224 filter

Take the committee filter off and NEW ORLEANS still shows $96,628,564 itemized. $482,100 is the slice tagged to C00401224. Open the New Orleans, LA hub for the remainder $96,146,464. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night.

New Orleans is displayed for readers; NEW ORLEANS is the grouping key. Titles use New Orleans, LA. The leftover $96,146,464 is $96,628,564 minus $482,100 on this extract only. The Louisiana hub is a different roll-up.

Reading the ACTBLUE label

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. $482,100 is itemized individual receipts storing city NEW ORLEANS and committee C00401224. Other cities giving to ACTBLUE appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Long or truncated FEC names stay as stored. DBA clauses, AKA clauses, slashes, and parentheticals are part of the label on C00401224. Short titles on this page still point at that ID. Do not invent a cleaner legal name.

0.50% is a share, not a ranking

0.50% of $96,628,564 is $482,100 to ACTBLUE (C00401224). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of New Orleans, LA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $96,628,564 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.50% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00401224 filter.

The leftover $96,146,464 under the NEW ORLEANS city string went to other committees. The New Orleans, LA hub holds that remainder. The ACTBLUE page holds receipts whose city field did not store NEW ORLEANS. Do not stack this cell with another city's gifts to C00401224; each join is its own filter.

Rows that never enter $482,100

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $482,100. Louisiana 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 $482,100 as proof that New Orleans, LA funded ACTBLUE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Louisiana. 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 $482,100 to federal spending in Louisiana.

Doors out of the New Orleans, LA × C00401224 page

Internal links go to New Orleans, LA, ACTBLUE, Louisiana campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $96,628,564 book and the committees that received the leftover $96,146,464. 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: New Orleans, LA and ACTBLUE (C00401224). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $482,100 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 $482,100, $96,628,564, 0.50%, leftover $96,146,464, and C00401224.

Questions

What is the New Orleans × ACTBLUE FEC total?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city NEW ORLEANS and recipient ACTBLUE (C00401224) total $482,100 in this extract. That is the join, not New Orleans, LA's all-committee book of $96,628,564. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is NEW ORLEANS merged with nearby cities?

No. NEW ORLEANS is the exact stored city string with state LA. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $482,100. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the New Orleans, LA hub for the all-committee book of $96,628,564.

How much of the $96.6M New Orleans book is C00401224?

$482,100 is 0.50% of the $96,628,564 New Orleans, LA city book. The leftover $96,146,464 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C00401224. Do not upgrade 0.50% into a ranking of civic preference.
