Chattanooga, TN political money — 2010 cycle

FEC.gov records $138,700 from Chattanooga, TN donors in the 2010 election cycle, produced by 51 itemized individual contributions. Mean line size in this packet is about $2,720 (arithmetic mean, not a median). City lifetime receipts on this key are $40,880,211. The 2010 tag is a two-year FEC election-cycle window (the even year and the odd year paired with it). This packet does not split 2009 from 2010. No donor names appear in the packet, and none are invented here.

The 2010 cell on the Chattanooga city key

The authorized headline is $138,700 from Chattanooga, TN in 2010. Contribution count 51 is the only volume statistic in the facts. Unique-donor counts are not in this packet and are not estimated. City all-cycle money $40,880,211 is stored so a reader can see that 2010 is one slice (0.34%), not the whole city record.

Chattanooga is stored as CHATTANOOGA in Tennessee. Nashville, Knoxville, and Memphis are other Tennessee keys. Same-named cities in other states are other pages. Tennessee campaign-finance hubs roll many cities; this file keeps one city string. Do not read $138,700 as evidence that Chattanooga donors funded a federal program. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are separate datasets.

City spelling, state TN, and neighbor keys

Display name on this page is Chattanooga, TN. Stored city field is CHATTANOOGA. State is TN (Tennessee). Those three labels must travel together. Dropping the state would collide with same-named cities elsewhere. Dropping the cycle would collide with other Chattanooga tie pages that use different even years.

The city hub remains the place to scan other cycles. This tie stays on 2010 at $138,700 and 51 lines. Internal links on this file point at the city hub, the 2010 cycle hub, Tennessee campaign finance, and the ties index.

2010 as an even-year FEC label

Time on this page is the cycle integer 2010. Geography is Chattanooga, TN. Money is $138,700. Count is 51. That is the full numeric inventory besides the city lifetime $40,880,211. Dates of individual gifts inside the window are not listed.

A researcher who needs day-level receipts must leave this aggregate and use itemized FEC exports. This JSON will not grow extra dates. Packet facts only.

Limits of the individual-receipt join

Do not add $138,700 to a USAspending state or district total. Do not subtract it from one. The two systems use different reporting entities, different time grains, and different legal definitions of a dollar. LobbyVault city-cycle pages stay on FEC individual receipts. SpendingVault pages stay on federal awards. This file does not mix them.

Where to go after the Chattanooga × 2010 snapshot

The four internal links in the packet are required reading paths: Chattanooga, TN (/cities/tn-chattanooga/), 2010 election cycle (/election-cycles/2010/), Tennessee campaign finance (/states/TN/), and All FEC ties (/ties/). Each href is used here. No other URLs are added. Cross-site award URLs are intentionally absent because this packet is FEC-only.

Closing the join without extra claims

This join is a Hamilton County city string against a 2010 FEC window. Dollars $138,700. Lines 51. City lifetime $40,880,211. Share 0.34%. Remainder $40,741,511. Source FEC.gov. Neighbor city keys stay out. Other cycles stay out of the $138,700 sentence. USAspending stays out. Use All FEC ties to move to the next two-dimension page. Restating without new facts: Chattanooga, TN in 2010 is $138,700 from 51 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The city string stores $40,880,211 across cycles, so this window is about 0.34% and other windows hold $40,741,511. Arithmetic mean per line is about $2,720. Unique donors, recipient committees, party split, and USAspending dollars are not in the packet. Live overlays at the city hub, the 2010 hub, and All FEC ties outrank this snapshot if they differ. Keep both join sides in any reuse of $138,700: donor city Chattanooga, TN and FEC cycle 2010, sourced from FEC.gov itemized individual receipts. The 51 contribution lines are volume for this cell only and are not added to counts from other Chattanooga cycle pages. City lifetime money $40,880,211 already includes the 2010 window; do not add $138,700 to $40,880,211.

Chattanooga, TN remains one donor-city string on FEC.gov. Cycle 2010 remains one even-year tag. Together they produce $138,700 from 51 itemized individual contributions. The city key still stores $40,880,211 when every stored cycle is included, so 2010 is about 0.34% of that running total and $40,741,511 sits in other windows. Those other windows are not listed here and are not estimated. Mean line size about $2,720 is $138,700 divided by 51, an arithmetic mean rather than a median.

Questions

How much did Chattanooga donors give in 2010?
Quote $138,700 for Chattanooga, TN in 2010, produced by 51 itemized contributions. Do not quote $40,880,211 as the 2010 amount. $40,880,211 is the city key across cycles. The join exists because the city table and the cycle table share those receipts.
What share of Chattanooga FEC money is 2010?
Share language on this page always means $138,700 as a fraction of $40,880,211 (about 0.34%). It never means a fraction of all FEC dollars in 2010. If you need a national cycle share, you need a number this packet does not contain.
Is Nashville folded into Chattanooga?
Exact-string matching applies. CHATTANOOGA in TN is in; other strings are out. Chattanooga is stored as CHATTANOOGA in Tennessee. Nashville, Knoxville, and Memphis are other Tennessee keys. That is why a handmade map of “greater Chattanooga” can disagree with $138,700 without either source being “wrong.”
Where are the Chattanooga and 2010 overlay pages?
City overlay /cities/tn-chattanooga/ holds $40,880,211 across cycles. Cycle overlay /election-cycles/2010/ is the 2010 window nationwide. This page is only their overlap at Chattanooga, TN: $138,700. State hub /states/TN/ and ties index /ties/ complete the internal link set.
