Shreveport, LA political money — 2010 cycle

2010 is a midterm election cycle on FEC.gov. For donors who stored city SHREVEPORT and state LA, that two-year window totals $156,426 across 146 itemized individual contributions. The same city string across every cycle in this table is $41,792,825. LobbyVault publishes the intersection so the calendar label and the geography are not collapsed into one hub.

Key figures

  • FEC.gov records $156,426 from contributor city SHREVEPORT in cycle 2010 (146 receipts).
  • Other cycles under the same Shreveport, LA label hold $41,636,399 of the $41,792,825 city book.
  • 2010 is a midterm election cycle; that calendar fact does not explain $156,426.
  • 146 is a row count, not a headcount of Shreveport residents.
  • FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.

A midterm election cycle filtered to Shreveport, LA

Presidential cycles include a presidential general election; midterm cycles do not. That is a calendar classification, not a finding about Shreveport voters. $156,426 is still just the itemized overlap of SHREVEPORT and 2010. 146 rows is a mid-size itemized file. Mean size is about $1,071. None of those facts explains why filers gave.

Relative to $41,792,825, 2010 is 0.37% (a thin slice of the citywide book). The other 99.6% of the city book, $41,636,399, sits in other even-year windows. Percentages here use the city aggregate only. National cycle totals are not in the packet.

Geography stored as SHREVEPORT

Shreveport sits in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Bossier City are other Louisiana city strings. Filers type the city. LobbyVault does not recode a suburb into a central city or a neighborhood into a Census place. A donor who typed a nearby name is not in $156,426 even if mail service looks similar.

The Shreveport, LA hub remains the all-cycle view ($41,792,825). Louisiana campaign finance remains the state view. The 2010 election cycle remains the national two-year view. This tie page is the filter where those stories meet.

Recipient location is not in these facts. Money itemized from a LA city can support committees that file from other states. Do not read $156,426 as a map of Louisiana races.

Itemized only

Both $156,426 and $41,792,825 omit unitemized gifts. They omit independent expenditures. They omit state-office campaigns. They omit federal awards. Mixing any of those tables with this join invents a headline FEC.gov did not publish.

146 is a line count. Repeat contributors add lines. Unique-donor census figures are not here and are not estimated. All FEC ties points to other city-cycle intersections built from the same method.

Correlation is not causation

Placing Shreveport next to 2010 does not mean the city caused the cycle or the cycle caused the city book. Two columns matched. Amended filings can move the dollars. If live hubs disagree with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemization is a threshold rule, not a taste judgment. Gifts that never reached the FEC itemization line never enter $156,426 and never enter $41,792,825. Independent expenditures are disclosed on other forms. Committee-to-committee transfers are another table. State-office campaigns in Louisiana file under state law. USAspending obligations are a different statute. Stacking any of those omitted tables onto $156,426 would publish a total the Commission did not publish for this city-cycle join.

Doors out of the Shreveport × 2010 page

Use Shreveport, LA for the city without a year filter, the 2010 election cycle for the national window, Louisiana campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Those four links are the intended next steps. This file does not list donor names or award recipients.

Operational definition: contributor city SHREVEPORT in LA during election cycle 2010 equals $156,426 across 146 itemized individual contribution records. The same city label across every cycle in this extract equals $41,792,825. Subtracting the cycle from the book leaves $41,636,399 in other even-year windows. Those three dollar figures and the row count are the entire numeric inventory for this page. FEC.gov is the source. No donor names, committee IDs, occupation strings, or award recipients appear in the packet, so none are invented in this prose.

The Shreveport, LA city hub, the 2010 election cycle hub, Louisiana campaign finance, and All FEC ties are the four internal doors. The city hub answers the all-cycle question ($41,792,825). The cycle hub answers the national two-year question. The state hub answers the Louisiana roll-up, which already contains Shreveport when the same extract is used. All FEC ties lists sibling city-cycle pages. This URL is only the intersection of SHREVEPORT and 2010.

Did Shreveport, LA 2010 donations stay in Louisiana?
Not necessarily. Donor city is Shreveport, LA; recipients can be committees anywhere that file with the FEC. This join does not allocate the $156,426 by office, state of the committee, or party. A LA city code is an address field on the individual receipt, not a map of Louisiana races.
How many Shreveport, LA contributions were itemized in 2010?
146 itemized contribution records sum to $156,426. That count is rows, not unique donors. The arithmetic mean is about $1,071 per row. Unitemized gifts below the FEC threshold and independent expenditures are not included. Citywide unique-donor counts are not in these facts.
