Shreveport, LA itemized giving inside the 2012 cycle
Shreveport, LA itemized $217,580 inside the 2012 FEC presidential cycle. 183 contribution records carry that total. The same city label, all cycles, is $41.8 million ($41,792,825). This page is the intersection, written so neither hub is mistaken for the join.
Mean itemized size is about $1,189 per row. Repeat givers, bundled events, and office addresses sit in the same 183-line stack. Unique people are not counted in the packet. Employer and occupation strings are other joins.
Cite FEC.gov. Do not paste $217,580 into a USAspending award narrative. Itemized campaign receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
City aggregate $41.8 million across cycles
All-cycle Shreveport, LA itemized individual contributions: $41,792,825. 2012 slice: $217,580 (0.5%). Other cycles: $41,575,245 (99.5%). Those three numbers are closed arithmetic on the packet. They do not include unitemized gifts.
The city sits in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. Bossier City is a different FEC city key and is not rolled into SHREVEPORT. Donor city is still not recipient city. A LA address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Louisiana candidate.
What a presidential cycle means on FEC.gov
A presidential cycle on FEC.gov is still a two-year reporting window. Shreveport, LA donors itemized $217,580 in that window. 183 records. 0.5% of the city book. Those are the cycle-side facts in the packet.
Do not upgrade presidential into a narrative about national mood, local turnout, or Louisiana competitiveness. The packet has dollars, a row count, a city string, and a cycle year.
183 is a receipt count
This page does not rank Shreveport against other cities, does not call 2012 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Louisiana. Two columns matched. The city of the contributor is not the city of the campaign.
A LA address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Louisiana candidate. A candidate who lives in Shreveport can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. City labels are filer-entered.
Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city SHREVEPORT, state LA, election cycle 2012, itemized dollars $217,580, itemized rows 183, all-cycle city dollars $41,792,825. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2012 is a presidential election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Caddo Parish, Louisiana against other places.
How to read the two hubs without collapsing them: Shreveport, LA still mixes 2012 with every other even-year tag under SHREVEPORT. The 2012 election cycle still mixes Shreveport, LA with every other donor city in the United States. Louisiana campaign finance still mixes this city with the rest of Louisiana. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. $217,580 exists only where city SHREVEPORT and cycle 2012 are both true.
