Great Neck, NY political money — 2014 cycle

Remainder math for Great Neck after 2014

$37,353,623 minus $153,030 equals $37,200,593. $153,030 is 0.41% of the city book; $37,200,593 is 99.6%. Both percentages use the same denominator. They are not shares of New York and not shares of the national 2014 cycle. A thin slice of the citywide book describes this pair only.

The 2014 piece still has a row count (114, a mid-size itemized file) and a mean (about $1,342). 2014 is a midterm election cycle. Calendar class and remainder dollars are separate facts. Neither identifies recipients or donors by name.

What each hub still holds for Great Neck, NY

The city hub still holds $37,353,623, including the 2014 slice. The 2014 election cycle hub still holds every city, including Great Neck. This tie page holds only the overlap. Reading any one of those three pages as if it were the other two is the error this URL is meant to prevent.

Great Neck sits on Nassau County’s North Shore, Long Island. New York, Manhasset, and Port Washington are other city strings. State NY is part of the key. New York campaign finance includes this city and every other city in the state; do not stack $153,030 onto that total.

Donor city is not recipient city. A NY address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a New York candidate. Party, office, and committee ID are not in this packet.

Omitted money

Unitemized gifts never enter $153,030 or $37,353,623. Independent expenditures never enter them. State-office campaigns never enter them. Federal contract and grant obligations never enter them. All FEC ties lists other LobbyVault joins; none converts FEC receipts into USAspending awards.

City labels are filer-entered. Adjacent suburbs and neighborhood names are other keys. 114 counts lines stored as GREAT NECK in 2014, not a metro total.

No ranking, no motive

This page does not rank Great Neck against other cities and does not treat itemized giving as public opinion. Correlation is not causation. Amended filings can revise either dollar figure. If live pages disagree, the newer FEC extract controls.

Source note, restated: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. Original reports remain on the Commission site. LobbyVault indexes the join so a reader can hold $153,030 for Great Neck, NY in 2014 without mistaking it for the $37,353,623 city book. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Source and next links

Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. Continue to Great Neck, NY, the 2014 election cycle, New York campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Operational definition: 114 itemized contributions totaling $153,030 for Great Neck, NY in 2014, against $37,353,623 citywide.

Dollar share (0.41%) and row volume (114) are separate facts. A thin dollar slice can sit next to a mid-size itemized file; those labels describe this pair, not other cities. This packet does not include a citywide row count across all cycles, so a row-share percentage is not computed. Do not treat 0.41% as Great Neck's share of the 2014 national cycle.

Occupation, industry, and committee cuts of $153,030 are other joins. This city-cycle page does not break the 114 receipts by employer, occupation, party, or recipient. Inventing those breakdowns would go beyond the facts. The only names on this page are the stored city string GREAT NECK, the state NY, and the cycle year 2014.

A candidate who lives in Great Neck can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. A candidate who lives elsewhere can raise money from Great Neck; those gifts are this join when the contributor city stored GREAT NECK. Residence of the candidate is not a field in this packet. $153,030 is contributor geography in cycle 2014, nothing else.

Operational definition: contributor city GREAT NECK in NY during election cycle 2014 equals $153,030 across 114 itemized individual contribution records. The same city label across every cycle in this extract equals $37,353,623. Subtracting the cycle from the book leaves $37,200,593 in other even-year windows. Those three dollar figures and the row count are the entire numeric inventory for this page. FEC.gov is the source. No donor names, committee IDs, occupation strings, or award recipients appear in the packet, so none are invented in this prose.

Questions

Why does Great Neck, NY have a separate 2014 page?

Because the city hub and the cycle hub answer different questions. Great Neck, NY across cycles is $37,353,623. 2014 nationally mixes every donor city. The tie page isolates contributor city GREAT NECK in NY during cycle 2014: $153,030 across 114 itemized receipts.

Can I add $153,030 to the New York state total?

Do not add it a second time. New York campaign-finance pages already include Great Neck when the same extract is used. Double-counting $153,030 inflates the state figure. This join is a filter, not a new pool of money sitting outside the state table.

What does the 2014 cycle tag mean for Great Neck?

2014 is a midterm election cycle: a two-year FEC window, not a single calendar year of January gifts. Inside that window, Great Neck, NY donors itemized $153,030 on 114 rows. The tag is the Commission’s cycle field on the receipt, not an explanation of motive.

Does this page name Great Neck committees or donors?

No. The packet has city, state, cycle, cycle dollars, cycle row count, and citywide dollars. It does not list contributor names, committee IDs, occupations, or parties. Inventing those labels would go beyond FEC.gov aggregates stored here. Use the live hubs for row-level browsing.
