How much did Omaha, NE donors give in 2014?

Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city OMAHA and cycle 2014 total $534,051 across 163 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Omaha, NE book of $206.9 million. Unitemized gifts and Nebraska state-office filings sit outside both figures.

Is $534,051 all of Omaha’s federal political money?

No. $206.9 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city OMAHA in NE. The 2014 slice is $534,051, 0.3% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Omaha, NE hub. 163 is a 2014 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.

Does the 2014 Omaha total count only residents?

No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed OMAHA with state NE. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Omaha can sit in $534,051 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.

Where do the Omaha, NE 2014 numbers come from?

FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $534,051 and 163 lines for OMAHA in cycle 2014, and $206.9 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.

Omaha, NE political money in the 2014 election cycle

Filers listing Omaha, NE reported $534,051 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 midterm election cycle, across 163 FEC receipts. That dollar figure is the city-and-cycle join, not Omaha’s all-cycle book of $206.9 million and not a national 2014 total. Source: FEC.gov Schedule A aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Key figures

$534,051 across 163 itemized receipts is the Omaha, NE × 2014 join.
$206.9 million is the all-cycle Omaha, NE city book; 2014 is 0.3% of that book.
Mean near $3,276 is $534,051 ÷ 163, not a median resident.
City OMAHA is filer-entered; 2014 is the FEC cycle tag.
If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

How Omaha meets the 2014 election cycle

$534,051 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city OMAHA with state NE, and election cycle 2014. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Omaha, NE 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: Omaha, NE in 2014.

163 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 OMAHA is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $3,276 ($534,051 ÷ 163). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.

2014 is a midterm election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $534,051. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $534,051 for the 2014 slice and $206.9 million for the Omaha, NE book — and stop before assigning motive.

The Omaha, NE side of the join

Across cycles in this extract, contributor city OMAHA in Nebraska totals $206.9 million. $534,051 is 0.3% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2014 was quiet in Omaha; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Omaha, NE table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.

The stored city sits in Douglas County, Nebraska. Council Bluffs, Iowa is a different state-and-city key. State NE stays on the citation so Omaha is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $206.9 million is the NE key only.

The 2014 cycle side for Nebraska filers in Omaha

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. 163 Omaha, NE lines in that window produced $534,051. National 2014 activity — every city — lives on the 2014 election cycle hub, not here.

Nebraska campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Omaha. Do not add $534,051 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 $534,051 into spending by Omaha candidates.

What $534,051 does not measure

$534,051 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city OMAHA. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Nebraska file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Omaha can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.

City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed OMAHA is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Omaha. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 163 as lines that stored this string in 2014.

Reading Omaha and 2014 together without mixing tables

Correlation is not causation. $534,051 beside $206.9 million does not mean 2014 “caused” the city book or that Omaha “drove” the 2014 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Omaha, NE hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.

Internal links on this page go to Omaha, NE, the 2014 election cycle, Nebraska campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $534,051 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
