Donors in Phila, PA to DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC

How Phila, PA meets DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp on the FEC tape

$1,182,500 is the overlap of two keys: contributor city PHILA with state PA, and recipient committee C60001245 disclosed as DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC. LobbyVault keeps a Phila, PA city hub and a committee hub for DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp. 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 C60001245. This page is only both filters at once.

DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC is the stored name on C60001245. The join does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or cycles. Do not invent a headcount from $1,182,500. 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. PHILA 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 PHILA and a different committee ID is in the leftover $30,657,153 of the city book, not in $1,182,500.

The Phila, PA side of the DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp join

Phila, PA’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $31,839,653. $1,182,500 is 3.7% of Phila, PA’s $31,839,653 all-committee book. That is a visible slice, not a finding that the city as a civic body directed gifts to DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp. The leftover $30,657,153 went to other committees under the same city string, or sits outside this recipient filter. Open the Phila, PA hub for that remainder; do not subtract by hand from a different extract.

The stored city sits in Pennsylvania. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into PHILA. Pennsylvania campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $1,182,500 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 $1,182,500 into spending by Phila, PA candidates or into independent expenditures by DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp.

DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC (C60001245) as the recipient key

C60001245 is disclosed as DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,182,500 is itemized individual receipts storing city PHILA and committee C60001245. Other cities giving to DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp 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. DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp on another ID is a different page. This URL is Phila, PA × C60001245, not Pennsylvania × C60001245 and not every spelling of PHILA. If the overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,182,500, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Share of the Phila, PA book

3.7% of $31,839,653 is $1,182,500 to DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC (C60001245). 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 unless 3.7% is read as a large slice — even then, the slice is still only the C60001245 filter.

The leftover $30,657,153 under the PHILA city string went to other committees. The Phila, PA hub holds that remainder. The DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp page holds receipts whose city field did not store PHILA. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C60001245; each join is its own filter.

What the Phila, PA × DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,182,500. 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 $1,182,500 as proof that Phila, PA “funded” DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp 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 $1,182,500 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.

How to cite the Phila, PA × DSCC/Non-Fed Unincorp join

Internal links go to Phila, PA, DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC, 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 $30,657,153. The committee page holds C60001245 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 DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC (C60001245). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,182,500 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 $1,182,500, $31,839,653, 3.7%, leftover $30,657,153, and C60001245. Keep both sides named: PHILA as filer-entered city, DSCC/NON-FED UNINCORP ASSOC 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.
