How does 2012 compare with the rest of Sioux Falls giving?

2012 is $157,793, 0.47% of the $33,377,799 Sioux Falls, SD book. Other cycles hold $33,220,006 (99.5%). Those shares use this city aggregate as the denominator. They are not shares of South Dakota or of the national 2012 cycle, which are not in these facts.

Are the 81 2012 rows unique Sioux Falls residents?

No. 81 is a receipt count. The same household can appear more than once, and an office or joint-fundraising address stored as SIOUX FALLS can sit beside a home address. LobbyVault does not convert the city field into a Census residency test. Unique-donor counts are not in the packet.

Do these Sioux Falls dollars fund federal awards?

No. $157,793 is FEC itemized individual contributions. USAspending obligations are a different statute and a different table. This packet has no award dollars, contractor names, or recipient UEIs. A shared geography does not turn campaign receipts into federal spending.

What source backs the Sioux Falls, SD 2012 figures?

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. This snapshot stores $157,793 and 81 lines for SIOUX FALLS in 2012, plus $33,377,799 for the city string across cycles. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Sioux Falls, SD political money — 2012 cycle

Inside Sioux Falls, SD's $33,377,799 all-cycle itemized book, the 2012 window is $157,793 — 0.47% of that city stack, across 81 FEC contribution records. The remainder, $33,220,006, sits in other cycles under the same SIOUX FALLS label. This page is the city-and-cycle join, sourced from FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, not a restatement of either hub.

Key figures

0.47% of Sioux Falls, SD's $33,377,799 itemized book was filed in the 2012 cycle ($157,793).
81 itemized lines average about $1,948 each.
State SD stays on the key so Sioux Falls is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures sit outside $157,793.

2012's share of the Sioux Falls book

0.47% is $157,793 divided by $33,377,799. 99.5% is $33,220,006 divided by $33,377,799. Those two percentages use only the city aggregate as the denominator. They are not Sioux Falls's share of South Dakota itemized giving and not Sioux Falls's share of the national 2012 cycle. Those other denominators are not in this packet and are not invented here.

The join still has a row count: 81 itemized gifts, a modest itemized file. Dollar share and row volume can tell different stories; this file reports both and ranks neither. Mean size is about $1,948 per row. 2012 is a presidential election cycle, which labels the two-year FEC window and does not interpret $157,793.

Two hubs, one intersection for Sioux Falls, SD

Open Sioux Falls, SD for every cycle stored under SIOUX FALLS. Open the 2012 election cycle for every donor city in that window. The 81 rows totaling $157,793 exist only where both filters are true. Treating the city hub as a 2012 page, or the cycle hub as a Sioux Falls page, collapses dimensions the FEC file kept separate.

Sioux Falls sits in Minnehaha County, South Dakota. Rapid City is another South Dakota city string; Sioux City, Iowa is a different state key. Keep state SD on the citation. A repeated city name under another postal code is a different FEC key and is not folded into $33,377,799.

Donor city is the address field on the individual receipt. Committees that received these gifts can be anywhere in the FEC system. This join does not allocate $157,793 by office, party, or recipient state.

The South Dakota context without double-counting

South Dakota campaign finance already includes Sioux Falls when the same extract is used. Adding $157,793 on top of a state total counts the same receipts twice. All FEC ties lists other city-cycle pages; none of them converts donations into USAspending obligations.

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and state-office filings sit outside $157,793 and outside $33,377,799. Both published dollars are itemized federal individual contributions.

Rows are not residents

81 is a modest itemized file. Repeat dates, multiple committees, and spelling variants of SIOUX FALLS can add lines without adding people. Unique-person counts are not in the facts. Employer and occupation strings are other joins. This city-cycle page does not break $157,793 out by occupation, industry, or recipient committee.

Internal links on this file are Sioux Falls, SD, the 2012 election cycle, South Dakota campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four. Do not paste $157,793 into a USAspending award story. FEC individual contributions and federal obligations are collected under different statutes, on different forms, for different filers. This packet has no award dollars and no contractor names.

What the join is not

The page does not rank Sioux Falls as more or less political than other places, and it does not treat itemized dollars as public opinion in South Dakota. Amended filings can move $157,793 or $33,377,799. If the live Sioux Falls, SD hub or the live 2012 cycle hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls. Source: FEC.gov.

This page does not rank Sioux Falls against other cities, does not call 2012 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in South Dakota. Two columns matched: city SIOUX FALLS and cycle 2012. The product of that match is $157,793 on 81 rows. Public-opinion claims, turnout claims, and wealth claims would require fields this packet does not have.

Filer spelling splits metros. A contributor who typed SIOUX FALLS is inside $157,793. A contributor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Sioux Falls. Sioux Falls sits in Minnehaha County, South Dakota. Rapid City is another South Dakota city string; Sioux City, Iowa is a different state key. Treat 81 as lines that stored this string in 2012, not as a labor-force or voter-file headcount of Sioux Falls, SD.
