Memphis, TN itemized giving inside the 2010 cycle
Memphis, TN itemized $234,276 inside the 2010 FEC midterm cycle. 192 contribution records carry that total. The same city label, all cycles, is $81 million ($81,045,423). This page is the intersection, written so neither hub is mistaken for the join.
Mean itemized size is about $1,220 per row. Repeat givers, bundled events, and office addresses sit in the same 192-line stack. Unique people are not counted in the packet. Employer and occupation strings are other joins.
Cite FEC.gov. Do not paste $234,276 into a USAspending award narrative. Itemized campaign receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.
City aggregate $81 million across cycles
All-cycle Memphis, TN itemized individual contributions: $81,045,423. 2010 slice: $234,276 (0.3%). Other cycles: $80,811,147 (99.7%). Those three numbers are closed arithmetic on the packet. They do not include unitemized gifts.
The city sits in Shelby County, Tennessee. those suburbs are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into MEMPHIS. Donor city is still not recipient city. A TN address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Tennessee candidate.
What a midterm cycle means on FEC.gov
A midterm cycle on FEC.gov is still a two-year reporting window. Memphis, TN donors itemized $234,276 in that window. 192 records. 0.3% of the city book. Those are the cycle-side facts in the packet.
Do not upgrade midterm into a narrative about national mood, local turnout, or Tennessee competitiveness. The packet has dollars, a row count, a city string, and a cycle year.
192 is a receipt count
This page does not rank Memphis against other cities, does not call 2010 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Tennessee. Two columns matched. The city of the contributor is not the city of the campaign.
A TN address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Tennessee candidate. A candidate who lives in Memphis can raise money from other cities; those gifts are not this join. City labels are filer-entered.
Repeat the filters in one sentence: contributor city MEMPHIS, state TN, election cycle 2010, itemized dollars $234,276, itemized rows 192, all-cycle city dollars $81,045,423. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2010 is a midterm election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of Shelby County, Tennessee against other places.
How to read the two hubs without collapsing them: Memphis, TN still mixes 2010 with every other even-year tag under MEMPHIS. The 2010 election cycle still mixes Memphis, TN with every other donor city in the United States. Tennessee campaign finance still mixes this city with the rest of Tennessee. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. $234,276 exists only where city MEMPHIS and cycle 2010 are both true.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around Memphis, TN, filers also use labels such as Germantown, Collierville, and Bartlett; those suburbs are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into MEMPHIS.
