How much did Chevy Chase, MD donors give in 2014?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city CHEVY CHASE and cycle 2014 total $604,865 across 230 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Chevy Chase, MD book of $94.9 million. Unitemized gifts and Maryland state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $604,865 all of Chevy Chase’s federal political money?

No. $94.9 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city CHEVY CHASE in MD. The 2014 slice is $604,865, 0.6% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Chevy Chase, MD hub. 230 is a 2014 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2014 Chevy Chase total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed CHEVY CHASE with state MD. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Chevy Chase can sit in $604,865 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Chevy Chase, MD 2014 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $604,865 and 230 lines for CHEVY CHASE in cycle 2014, and $94.9 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.

How Chevy Chase meets the 2014 election cycle

$604,865 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city CHEVY CHASE with state MD, and election cycle 2014. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Chevy Chase, MD city hub and the 2014 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Chevy Chase, MD in 2014.

230 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored CHEVY CHASE is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $2,630 ($604,865 ÷ 230). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2014 is a midterm election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $604,865. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $604,865 for the 2014 slice and $94.9 million for the Chevy Chase, MD book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Chevy Chase, MD side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city CHEVY CHASE in Maryland totals $94.9 million. $604,865 is 0.6% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2014 was quiet in Chevy Chase; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Chevy Chase, MD table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in Montgomery County, Maryland, on the District line. Washington, DC is a different state key. State MD stays on the citation so Chevy Chase is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $94.9 million is the MD key only.

The 2014 cycle side for Maryland filers in Chevy Chase

Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2014 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 230 Chevy Chase, MD lines in that window produced $604,865. National 2014 activity — every city — lives on the 2014 election cycle hub, not here.

Maryland campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Chevy Chase. Do not add $604,865 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $604,865 into spending by Chevy Chase candidates.

What $604,865 does not measure

$604,865 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city CHEVY CHASE. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Maryland file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Chevy Chase can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed CHEVY CHASE is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Chevy Chase. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 230 as lines that stored this string in 2014.

Reading Chevy Chase and 2014 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $604,865 beside $94.9 million does not mean 2014 “caused” the city book or that Chevy Chase “drove” the 2014 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Chevy Chase, MD hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Chevy Chase, MD, the 2014 election cycle, Maryland campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $604,865 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
