Donors in Cincinnati, OH to NRSC - NONFEDERAL
FEC.gov records $1,207,000 where the contributor city stored CINCINNATI and the recipient is NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148). Cincinnati, OH’s unfiltered city book in the same extract is $199,862,427. The first figure is the overlap; the second is every committee under that city string. Independent expenditures are outside this series.
Key figures
- $1,207,000 is the Cincinnati, OH × NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148) itemized join.
- $199,862,427 is the all-committee Cincinnati, OH book; this committee is 0.60% of that book.
- Leftover $198,655,427 under the CINCINNATI 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.
$1,207,000 as a two-field overlap
This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered city CINCINNATI in Ohio. The other side is NRSC - NONFEDERAL on C60000148. $1,207,000 is what remains after both filters. Opening only the Cincinnati, OH hub restates $199,862,427. Opening only the committee hub restates every city that gave to C60000148. Adding those hubs together double-counts.
City labels are filer-entered. CINCINNATI is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A neighboring municipality is another hub. A CINCINNATI line to a different committee ID sits in the leftover $198,655,427, not in $1,207,000.
Cincinnati, OH sits in Ohio. The state campaign-finance hub includes other cities. Do not add $1,207,000 to the state total; the state extract already contains these rows when the tape is the same.
CINCINNATI without the C60000148 filter
Take the committee filter off and CINCINNATI still shows $199,862,427 itemized. $1,207,000 is the slice tagged to C60000148. Open the Cincinnati, OH hub for the remainder $198,655,427. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night.
NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148) is the labeled recipient, distinct from a federal NRSC committee ID if one exists on another page. Cincinnati’s join is $1,207,000, 0.60% of $199,862,427. The NONFEDERAL token is part of the stored name and is not dropped.
Reading the NRSC - NONFEDERAL label
C60000148 is disclosed as NRSC - NONFEDERAL. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,207,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city CINCINNATI and committee C60000148. Other cities giving to NRSC - NONFEDERAL appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.
Long or truncated FEC names stay as stored. DBA clauses, AKA clauses, slashes, and parentheticals are part of the label on C60000148. Short titles on this page still point at that ID. Do not invent a cleaner legal name.
0.60% is a share, not a ranking
0.60% of $199,862,427 is $1,207,000 to NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Cincinnati, OH as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $199,862,427 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.60% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C60000148 filter.
The leftover $198,655,427 under the CINCINNATI city string went to other committees. The Cincinnati, OH hub holds that remainder. The NRSC - NONFEDERAL page holds receipts whose city field did not store CINCINNATI. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C60000148; each join is its own filter.
Rows that never enter $1,207,000
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,207,000. Ohio 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 $1,207,000 as proof that Cincinnati, OH “funded” NRSC - NONFEDERAL as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Ohio. 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 $1,207,000 to federal spending in Ohio.
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. NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148) is the labeled recipient, distinct from a federal NRSC committee ID if one exists on another page. Cincinnati’s join is $1,207,000, 0.60% of $199,862,427. The NONFEDERAL token is part of the stored name and is not dropped.
Doors out of the Cincinnati, OH × C60000148 page
Internal links go to Cincinnati, OH, NRSC - NONFEDERAL, Ohio campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $199,862,427 book and the committees that received the leftover $198,655,427. The committee page holds C60000148 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: Cincinnati, OH and NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,207,000 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 $1,207,000, $199,862,427, 0.60%, leftover $198,655,427, and C60000148. Keep both sides named: CINCINNATI as filer-entered city, NRSC - NONFEDERAL 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.
Questions
- What is the Cincinnati × NRSC-NONFEDERAL FEC total?
- Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city CINCINNATI and recipient NRSC - NONFEDERAL (C60000148) total $1,207,000 in this extract. That is the join, not Cincinnati, OH’s all-committee book of $199,862,427. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
- Is CINCINNATI merged with nearby cities?
- No. CINCINNATI is the exact stored city string with state OH. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $1,207,000. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Cincinnati, OH hub for the all-committee book of $199,862,427.
- How much of the $199.9M Cincinnati book is C60000148?
- $1,207,000 is 0.60% of the $199,862,427 Cincinnati, OH city book. The leftover $198,655,427 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C60000148. Do not upgrade 0.60% into a ranking of civic preference.
- Do Cincinnati donations to NRSC-NONFEDERAL fund USAspending awards?
- No. The series is FEC individual contributions. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Geography on a contribution line does not convert the gift into a federal award in Ohio.
FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by donor city and recipient committee. Not independent expenditures.
