Radnor, PA political money in the 2014 election cycle
Filers listing Radnor, PA reported $731,304 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 midterm election cycle, across 253 FEC receipts. That dollar figure is the city-and-cycle join, not Radnor’s all-cycle book of $15.4 million and not a national 2014 total. Source: FEC.gov Schedule A aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.
Key figures
- $731,304 across 253 itemized receipts is the Radnor, PA × 2014 join.
- $15.4 million is the all-cycle Radnor, PA city book; 2014 is 4.8% of that book.
- Mean near $2,891 is $731,304 ÷ 253, not a median resident.
- City RADNOR is filer-entered; 2014 is the FEC cycle tag.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
How Radnor meets the 2014 election cycle
$731,304 is the overlap of two FEC dimensions: contributor city RADNOR with state PA, and election cycle 2014. LobbyVault stores that join so a reader can open the Radnor, PA city hub and the 2014 election cycle hub without treating either page as a substitute for this one. The city hub answers “how much itemized money has this city string produced across cycles.” The cycle hub answers “how much itemized money did that two-year federal window produce nationally.” This page answers only the intersection: Radnor, PA in 2014.
253 is a receipt count for that intersection, not a unique-donor census. A person who gave twice is two lines. A PAC or joint-fundraising address that stored RADNOR is in the same city field as a household street. Arithmetic mean per line is about $2,891 ($731,304 ÷ 253). That mean is division, not a typical resident and not a median.
2014 is a midterm election cycle. That calendar label does not explain $731,304. This packet does not carry party splits, committee names, or occupation mix for the join. Cite the two packet dollars — $731,304 for the 2014 slice and $15.4 million for the Radnor, PA book — and stop before assigning motive.
The Radnor, PA side of the join
Across cycles in this extract, contributor city RADNOR in Pennsylvania totals $15.4 million. $731,304 is 4.8% of that city book. A small share does not mean 2014 was quiet in Radnor; it means later or earlier cycles in the same city string can dwarf a single window. The live Radnor, PA table is the place to compare other years. This snapshot lists one cycle.
The stored city sits in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on the Main Line. Wayne and Villanova are other city strings even when mail shares a ZIP story. State PA stays on the citation so Radnor is not merged with a same-named place in another state. A repeated city name under another state code is a different FEC key. $15.4 million is the PA key only.
The 2014 cycle side for Pennsylvania filers in Radnor
Federal election cycles are two-year windows on FEC.gov. The 2014 cycle is not a calendar year of January gifts only; it is the Commission’s cycle tag on itemized receipts. 253 Radnor, PA lines in that window produced $731,304. National 2014 activity — every city — lives on the 2014 election cycle hub, not here.
Pennsylvania campaign-finance pages roll up the state, including cities that are not Radnor. Do not add $731,304 to a state total from that hub; the state page already contains this city when the same extract is used. All FEC ties is the directory of other city-cycle and city-industry joins. None of those pages converts $731,304 into spending by Radnor candidates.
What $731,304 does not measure
$731,304 is itemized federal individual contributions with contributor city RADNOR. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold sit outside it. State-office campaigns in Pennsylvania file under state law and sit outside it. Independent-expenditure totals are a different FEC table. A candidate who lives in Radnor can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join.
City labels are filer-entered. A donor who typed RADNOR is counted; a donor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Radnor. LobbyVault does not rewrite the city field into a Census place or a residency test. Treat 253 as lines that stored this string in 2014.
Reading Radnor and 2014 together without mixing tables
Correlation is not causation. $731,304 beside $15.4 million does not mean 2014 “caused” the city book or that Radnor “drove” the 2014 cycle. The join is a filter: city string plus cycle tag. Amended reports can move either number. If the live Radnor, PA hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees with this prose, the newer FEC extract controls.
Internal links on this page go to Radnor, PA, the 2014 election cycle, Pennsylvania campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. Do not paste $731,304 into a USAspending award story; FEC receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
Questions
- How much did Radnor, PA donors give in 2014?
- Itemized FEC individual contributions listing contributor city RADNOR and cycle 2014 total $731,304 across 253 receipts in this LobbyVault extract. That is the city-cycle join, not the all-cycle Radnor, PA book of $15.4 million. Unitemized gifts and Pennsylvania state-office filings sit outside both figures.
- Is $731,304 all of Radnor’s federal political money?
- No. $15.4 million is the all-cycle itemized book for contributor city RADNOR in PA. The 2014 slice is $731,304, 4.8% of that book. Other cycles in the same city string are on the Radnor, PA hub. 253 is a 2014 receipt count, not a unique-donor count.
- Does the 2014 Radnor total count only residents?
- No. The city is the contributor-city value on the FEC itemization. Filers typed RADNOR with state PA. Office addresses and joint-fundraising mail that list Radnor can sit in $731,304 when that is the stored string. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a residential-only book.
- Where do the Radnor, PA 2014 numbers come from?
- FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates, indexed on LobbyVault: $731,304 and 253 lines for RADNOR in cycle 2014, and $15.4 million for the city string across cycles. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
