Donors in Wayzata, MN to ADAMS, STEPHEN

$1,663,816 in itemized individual contributions is the join between donor city WAYZATA (MN) and recipient committee ADAMS, STEPHEN (C90016221). That cell is not Wayzata, MN’s all-committee book of $41,812,850. Source: FEC.gov aggregates of itemized Schedule A lines grouped by filer-entered city and committee ID. These figures are not independent expenditures.

Key figures

  • $1,663,816 is the Wayzata, MN × ADAMS, STEPHEN (C90016221) itemized join.
  • $41,812,850 is the all-committee Wayzata, MN book; this committee is 4.0% of that book.
  • Leftover $40,149,034 under the WAYZATA city string went to other committees.
  • City labels are filer-entered; this packet is not independent expenditures.
  • If the live hub or overlay disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

How Wayzata, MN meets Adams, Stephen on the FEC tape

$1,663,816 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city WAYZATA with state MN, and recipient committee C90016221 disclosed as ADAMS, STEPHEN. LobbyVault keeps a Wayzata, MN city hub and a committee hub for Adams, Stephen. 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 C90016221. This page is only both filters at once.

ADAMS, STEPHEN is the stored committee/filer name on C90016221. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $1,663,816. 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. WAYZATA 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 WAYZATA and a different committee ID is in the leftover $40,149,034 of the city book, not in $1,663,816.

The Wayzata, MN side of the Adams, Stephen join

Wayzata, MN’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $41,812,850. $1,663,816 is 4.0% of Wayzata, MN’s $41,812,850 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to Adams, Stephen. The leftover $40,149,034 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Wayzata, 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 WAYZATA. Minnesota campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $1,663,816 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 $1,663,816 into spending by Wayzata, MN candidates or into independent expenditures by Adams, Stephen.

ADAMS, STEPHEN (C90016221) as the recipient key

C90016221 is disclosed as ADAMS, STEPHEN. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,663,816 is itemized individual receipts storing city WAYZATA and committee C90016221. Other cities giving to Adams, Stephen 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. Adams, Stephen on another ID is a different page. This URL is Wayzata, MN × C90016221, not Minnesota × C90016221 and not every spelling of WAYZATA. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,663,816, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Wayzata, MN book

4.0% of $41,812,850 is $1,663,816 to ADAMS, STEPHEN (C90016221). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Wayzata, MN as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $41,812,850 city book went to other committees unless 4.0% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C90016221 filter.

The leftover $40,149,034 under the WAYZATA city string went to other committees. The Wayzata, MN hub holds that remainder. The Adams, Stephen page holds receipts whose city field did not store WAYZATA. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C90016221; each join is its own filter.

What the Wayzata, MN × Adams, Stephen dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,663,816. 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 $1,663,816 as proof that Wayzata, MN “funded” Adams, Stephen 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 $1,663,816 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 Wayzata, MN × Adams, Stephen join

Internal links go to Wayzata, MN, ADAMS, STEPHEN, Minnesota campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $41,812,850 book and the committees that received the leftover $40,149,034. The committee page holds C90016221 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: Wayzata, MN and ADAMS, STEPHEN (C90016221). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,663,816 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 $1,663,816, $41,812,850, 4.0%, leftover $40,149,034, and C90016221. Keep both sides named: WAYZATA as filer-entered city, ADAMS, STEPHEN 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.
