St Paul, MN political money — 2010 cycle

Two dimensions: St Paul, MN and 2010

Two dimensions define this URL: donor city St Paul, MN and election cycle 2010. Where both are true, FEC itemized individual receipts add to $225,655 across 216 lines. The city dimension alone is $39.4 million. The cycle dimension alone is a national file that is not in these facts. Only the overlap is cited here.

Share of the city book: 0.6% ($225,655 ÷ $39,406,084). Remainder in other cycles: $39,180,429 (99.4%). Those percentages use the city total as denominator. They are not St Paul, MN's share of Minnesota, not St Paul, MN's share of the national 2010 cycle, and not a turnout rate.

Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. Treat 216 as rows. Treat $225,655 as itemized dollars with this city string and this cycle tag. Do not invent a unique-donor headcount. Do not invent recipient names.

$39,406,084 is the city book, not the cycle slice

City total $39,406,084 is every cycle under ST PAUL in MN. Cycle total $225,655 is 2010 only. Contribution count 216 is 2010 only. Missing from the packet: all-cycle row count, unique donors, party, office, and committee identifiers. Those omissions are why this prose does not rank neighborhoods or name recipients.

Ramsey County, Minnesota is geographic color, not an extra FEC field. The Commission stores the city string the committee keyed. If a filer used a suburb name among Minneapolis, Maplewood, and Roseville, that money is on another city page. Minneapolis is a different FEC city key and is not rolled into ST PAUL.

216 receipts in a midterm window

Cycle coding is mechanical. The Commission tags itemized receipts with a two-year even year. 216 ST PAUL lines received the 2010 tag in this aggregate and summed to $225,655. National volume for that tag is a different page.

Presidential cycles (2008, 2012) and midterm cycles (2010, 2014) are calendar types, not size ranks. This packet has one cycle: 2010, which is midterm. Adjacent St Paul, MN joins for other years are other URLs.

Donor city is an address field

No donor names are listed because the packet has none. Inventing names would be a fabrication. The 216 lines remain anonymous in this overlay. Committee names are likewise absent from the facts and absent from this prose.

$225,655 does not measure public opinion in Ramsey County, Minnesota. Itemized filers are a disclosure set, not a sample of residents. Mean $1,045 is a row average, not a resident average.

Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city ST PAUL, state MN, election cycle 2010, itemized dollars $225,655, itemized rows 216, all-cycle city dollars $39,406,084. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2010 is a midterm election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Ramsey County, Minnesota against other places.

Share math uses only these two dollars

Amended FEC reports can revise itemized totals. This JSON is a snapshot of one extract. Prefer live hub numbers when they differ. The relationship remains the same: city ST PAUL × cycle 2010.

Do not convert $225,655 into “support for Minnesota candidates.” Recipient geography is not in the facts. Do not convert 216 into “households.” Rows are receipts.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around St Paul, MN, filers also use labels such as Minneapolis, Maplewood, and Roseville; Minneapolis is a different FEC city key and is not rolled into ST PAUL. Those dollars, if any, sit on other city keys. Unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, and Minnesota state-office filings sit outside $225,655 and outside $39,406,084. FEC.gov is the source; USAspending is a different statute and is not funded by these receipts.

Amended reports and extract vintage

Treat 0.6% as a filing-tag share inside one city key. Treat midterm as a calendar type. Treat Ramsey County, Minnesota as map color. None of those treatments adds a number that is missing from the packet.

The overlay is complete when a reader can say: St Paul, MN, 2010, $225,655 itemized, 216 lines, city book $39,406,084, source FEC.gov, not USAspending.

Arithmetic that stays inside the packet: $225,655 is 0.6% of $39,406,084; $39,180,429 is the other 99.4%; mean itemized line is about $1,045 ($225,655 ÷ 216). No unique-donor count, median, party split, or committee list is available here. Donor city is not recipient city. If the live St Paul, MN hub or the live 2010 cycle hub disagrees with this snapshot, the newer FEC extract controls.

Questions

How much did St Paul, MN donors give in 2010?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city ST PAUL and cycle 2010 total $225,655 across 216 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle St Paul, MN book of $39.4 million. Unitemized gifts and Minnesota state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $225,655 all of St Paul's federal political money?

No. $39.4 million ($39,406,084) is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city ST PAUL in MN. The 2010 slice is $225,655, 0.6% of that book. Other cycles hold $39,180,429. 216 is a 2010 receipt count, not a unique-donor count. The city hub holds the stack; this page holds the year.

Did St Paul, MN 2010 donations stay in Minnesota?

Not necessarily. Donor city is St Paul, MN; recipients can be committees anywhere that file with the FEC. This join does not allocate the $225,655 by office, state of the committee, or party. A MN city code is an address field on the individual receipt, not a map of Minnesota races.

How many St Paul, MN contributions were itemized in 2010?

216 itemized contribution records sum to $225,655. That count is rows, not unique donors. The arithmetic mean is about $1,045 per row. Unitemized gifts below the FEC threshold and independent expenditures are not included. Citywide unique-donor counts are not in these facts.
