Donors in Phila, PA to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL

$829,000 as a two-field overlap

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered city PHILA in Pennsylvania. The other side is DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL on C60000254. $829,000 is what remains after both filters. Opening only the Phila, PA hub restates $31,839,653. Opening only the committee hub restates every city that gave to C60000254. Adding those hubs together double-counts.

City labels are filer-entered. PHILA is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A neighboring municipality is another hub. A PHILA line to a different committee ID sits in the leftover $31,010,653, not in $829,000.

Phila, PA sits in Pennsylvania. The state campaign-finance hub includes other cities. Do not add $829,000 to the state total; the state extract already contains these rows when the tape is the same.

PHILA without the C60000254 filter

Take the committee filter off and PHILA still shows $31,839,653 itemized. $829,000 is the slice tagged to C60000254. Open the Phila, PA hub for the remainder $31,010,653. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night.

PHILA is the exact stored city string, not a recode of PHILADELPHIA. DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254) received $829,000 from PHILA, 2.60% of the $31,839,653 Phila book. Keep the abbreviation; merging city spellings would invent a total this packet does not publish.

Reading the DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL label

C60000254 is disclosed as DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $829,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city PHILA and committee C60000254. Other cities giving to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL 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 C60000254. Short titles on this page still point at that ID. Do not invent a cleaner legal name.

2.60% is a share, not a ranking

2.60% of $31,839,653 is $829,000 to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Phila, PA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $31,839,653 city book went to other committees. Even when 2.60% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C60000254 filter.

The leftover $31,010,653 under the PHILA city string went to other committees. The Phila, PA hub holds that remainder. The DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL page holds receipts whose city field did not store PHILA. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C60000254; each join is its own filter.

Rows that never enter $829,000

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $829,000. Pennsylvania 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 $829,000 as proof that Phila, PA “funded” DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Pennsylvania. 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 $829,000 to federal spending in Pennsylvania.

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. PHILA is the exact stored city string, not a recode of PHILADELPHIA. DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254) received $829,000 from PHILA, 2.60% of the $31,839,653 Phila book. Keep the abbreviation; merging city spellings would invent a total this packet does not publish.

Doors out of the Phila, PA × C60000254 page

Internal links go to Phila, PA, DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL, Pennsylvania campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $31,839,653 book and the committees that received the leftover $31,010,653. The committee page holds C60000254 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: Phila, PA and DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $829,000 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 $829,000, $31,839,653, 2.60%, leftover $31,010,653, and C60000254. Keep both sides named: PHILA as filer-entered city, DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL 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 Phila × DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL FEC total?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city PHILA and recipient DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL (C60000254) total $829,000 in this extract. That is the join, not Phila, PA’s all-committee book of $31,839,653. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is PHILA merged with nearby cities?

No. PHILA is the exact stored city string with state PA. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $829,000. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Phila, PA hub for the all-committee book of $31,839,653.

How much of the $31.8M Phila book is C60000254?

$829,000 is 2.60% of the $31,839,653 Phila, PA city book. The leftover $31,010,653 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C60000254. Do not upgrade 2.60% into a ranking of civic preference.

Do Phila donations to DNC-NON-FEDERAL INDIVIDUAL 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 Pennsylvania.
