Donors in Minneapolis, MN to FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON

How Minneapolis, MN meets Friends of Mark Dayton on the FEC tape

$6,939,916 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city MINNEAPOLIS with state MN, and recipient committee C00141788 disclosed as FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON. LobbyVault keeps a Minneapolis, MN city hub and a committee hub for Friends of Mark Dayton. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub is every city that gave to C00141788. This page is only both filters at once.

FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON is a candidate committee name as stored on C00141788. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $6,939,916. Repeat gifts, joint fundraising, and conduit memo entries can sit inside a city×committee total without this packet splitting them.

City labels are filer-entered. MINNEAPOLIS is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A donor who stored a neighboring city is on another hub. A donor who stored MINNEAPOLIS and a different committee ID is in the leftover $135,300,129 of the city book, not in $6,939,916.

The Minneapolis, MN side of the Friends of Mark Dayton join

Minneapolis, MN’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $142,240,045. $6,939,916 is 4.9% of Minneapolis, MN’s $142,240,045 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to Friends of Mark Dayton. The leftover $135,300,129 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Minneapolis, MN hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in Minnesota. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into MINNEAPOLIS. Minnesota campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $6,939,916 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $6,939,916 into spending by Minneapolis, MN candidates or into independent expenditures by Friends of Mark Dayton.

FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON (C00141788) as the recipient key

C00141788 is disclosed as FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $6,939,916 is itemized individual receipts storing city MINNEAPOLIS and committee C00141788. Other cities giving to Friends of Mark Dayton appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. Friends of Mark Dayton on another ID is a different page. This URL is Minneapolis, MN × C00141788, not Minnesota × C00141788 and not every spelling of MINNEAPOLIS. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $6,939,916, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Minneapolis, MN book

4.9% of $142,240,045 is $6,939,916 to FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON (C00141788). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Minneapolis, MN as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $142,240,045 city book went to other committees unless 4.9% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00141788 filter.

The leftover $135,300,129 under the MINNEAPOLIS city string went to other committees. The Minneapolis, MN hub holds that remainder. The Friends of Mark Dayton page holds receipts whose city field did not store MINNEAPOLIS. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00141788; each join is its own filter.

What the Minneapolis, MN × Friends of Mark Dayton dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $6,939,916. Minnesota 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 $6,939,916 as proof that Minneapolis, MN “funded” Friends of Mark Dayton as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Minnesota. 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 $6,939,916 to federal spending in Minnesota.

Contribution lines can cluster in a few ZIPs or spread across many. This packet does not list those ZIPs or a donor headcount. Open the city hub and the committee hub rather than guessing a postal split from the city string alone.

How to cite the Minneapolis, MN × Friends of Mark Dayton join

Internal links go to Minneapolis, MN, FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON, Minnesota campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $142,240,045 book and the committees that received the leftover $135,300,129. The committee page holds C00141788 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: Minneapolis, MN and FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON (C00141788). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $6,939,916 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 $6,939,916, $142,240,045, 4.9%, leftover $135,300,129, and C00141788. Keep both sides named: MINNEAPOLIS as filer-entered city, FRIENDS OF MARK DAYTON as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control.
