Cambridge, MA itemized contributions to DSCC

A city string joined to C00042366

This URL exists because two tables meet: the Cambridge, MA city extract ($147,227,540 across recipients) and the DSCC committee extract. $422,789 is the cell where those keys coincide. Quoting only $147,227,540 drops the committee. Quoting only DSCC without Cambridge drops every other city on C00042366.

$146,804,751 remains after subtracting $422,789 from $147,227,540. That leftover (99.7% of the city book) went to other committees under the same CAMBRIDGE grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Cambridge, MA city hub holds that remainder. The DSCC page holds receipts whose city field did not group to Cambridge.

Cite $422,789, $147,227,540, and C00042366. Keep both sides named: Cambridge, MA as the city string, DSCC as the recipient. Motive is outside the packet. This join is party-committee receipts from one city key, not a spending ledger.

The Cambridge, MA side of the join

The stored city sits in Massachusetts. Neighboring places are not rolled into CAMBRIDGE. State MA stays on the citation so Cambridge is not merged with a same-named city in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $147,227,540 is the MA key only.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed CAMBRIDGE is counted in the city book. A donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, a nearby suburb, or a misspelling is not recoded into Cambridge. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place. Treat $147,227,540 as lines that stored this string.

DSCC (C00042366) as the recipient key

C00042366 is disclosed as DSCC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $422,789 is Cambridge-coded individual receipts. Other cities giving to DSCC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the Cambridge filter.

The committee hub for DSCC holds receipts whose city field did not group to Cambridge. This tie page exists so the city total and the committee overlay stay comparable without being stacked. FEC.gov is the source. Live hubs override this snapshot.

A city gift is not a federal-award trail

Do not read $422,789 as proof that Cambridge “controls” DSCC or that DSCC “represents” Cambridge. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

This packet does not publish contribution counts, unique-donor counts, occupation mix, or cycle splits for the Cambridge × DSCC overlap. Open the live Cambridge, MA page and the live DSCC page for breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $422,789 and $147,227,540.

If the overlay on C00042366 disagrees with $422,789, the overlay and FEC.gov control. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Amended Form 3/3X filings can move a city-committee cell after this file was written.

How to cite Cambridge × DSCC

The Cambridge, MA city page holds the $147,227,540 grouping and the committees that received the other 99.7%. The DSCC page holds C00042366 receipts from every city. All FEC ties collects neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this cell. Massachusetts campaign finance is the state roll-up.

Name both keys: city Cambridge, MA totaling $147,227,540 across all recipients, and $422,789 in itemized gifts to DSCC (C00042366). The share of the city bucket is 0.29%. The leftover is $146,804,751. Do not print a Cambridge share of federal awards. This packet has no USAspending field.

Keep the three numbers together: $422,789 dollars, $147,227,540 city book, and committee C00042366. Quoting only the $147,227,540 city hub without C00042366 drops this cell. Quoting only the committee without the Cambridge string drops every other city on the fund.

Related tables without stacking dollars

A high or low share (0.29%) is a filing pattern, not an unique-donor census and not a ranking of Cambridge against other cities. Do not rank cities as more or less politically active from this single cell. Other city-committee pages are other filters.

Live hubs override this snapshot. If the Cambridge, MA overlay or the DSCC overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Cite $422,789, $147,227,540, 0.29%, $146,804,751, and C00042366. Keep both sides named.

This tie only publishes the overlap: $422,789 coded to Cambridge, MA and received by DSCC (C00042366), against a city grouping of $147,227,540. About 0.29% of that grouping is here; $146,804,751 is not. Independent expenditures are not in this join.
