Donors in Montclair, NJ to LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE

How Montclair, NJ meets Lautenberg for Senate on the FEC tape

$1,405,100 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city MONTCLAIR with state NJ, and recipient committee C00382457 disclosed as LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE. LobbyVault keeps a Montclair, NJ city hub and a committee hub for Lautenberg for Senate. 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 C00382457. This page is only both filters at once.

LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE is a Senate candidate committee name as stored on C00382457. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $1,405,100. 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. MONTCLAIR 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 MONTCLAIR and a different committee ID is in the leftover $25,313,006 of the city book, not in $1,405,100.

The Montclair, NJ side of the Lautenberg for Senate join

Montclair, NJ’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $26,718,106. $1,405,100 is 5.3% of Montclair, NJ’s $26,718,106 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to Lautenberg for Senate. The leftover $25,313,006 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Montclair, NJ hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in New Jersey. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into MONTCLAIR. New Jersey campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $1,405,100 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 $1,405,100 into spending by Montclair, NJ candidates or into independent expenditures by Lautenberg for Senate.

LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE (C00382457) as the recipient key

C00382457 is disclosed as LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,405,100 is itemized individual receipts storing city MONTCLAIR and committee C00382457. Other cities giving to Lautenberg for Senate 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. Lautenberg for Senate on another ID is a different page. This URL is Montclair, NJ × C00382457, not New Jersey × C00382457 and not every spelling of MONTCLAIR. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,405,100, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Montclair, NJ book

5.3% of $26,718,106 is $1,405,100 to LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE (C00382457). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Montclair, NJ as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $26,718,106 city book went to other committees unless 5.3% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C00382457 filter.

The leftover $25,313,006 under the MONTCLAIR city string went to other committees. The Montclair, NJ hub holds that remainder. The Lautenberg for Senate page holds receipts whose city field did not store MONTCLAIR. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00382457; each join is its own filter.

What the Montclair, NJ × Lautenberg for Senate dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,405,100. New Jersey 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 $1,405,100 as proof that Montclair, NJ “funded” Lautenberg for Senate as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in New Jersey. 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 $1,405,100 to federal spending in New Jersey.

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 Montclair, NJ × Lautenberg for Senate join

Internal links go to Montclair, NJ, LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE, New Jersey campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $26,718,106 book and the committees that received the leftover $25,313,006. The committee page holds C00382457 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: Montclair, NJ and LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE (C00382457). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,405,100 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 $1,405,100, $26,718,106, 5.3%, leftover $25,313,006, and C00382457. Keep both sides named: MONTCLAIR as filer-entered city, LAUTENBERG FOR SENATE 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.
