Donors in Waco, TX to OHIO FREEDOM FUND

Relationship between Waco and OHIO FREEDOM FUND

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered city WACO in Texas. The other side is OHIO FREEDOM FUND on C00628842. $700,000 is what remains after both filters. Opening only the Waco, TX hub restates $25,504,084. Opening only the committee hub restates every city that gave to C00628842. Adding those hubs together double-counts.

City labels are filer-entered. WACO is the stored string, not a Census place recode and not a metro-area roll-up. A neighboring municipality is another hub. A WACO line to a different committee ID sits in the leftover $24,804,084, not in $700,000.

Waco, TX sits in Texas. The state campaign-finance hub includes other cities. Do not add $700,000 to the state total; the state extract already contains these rows when the tape is the same.

City hub versus this cell

Take the committee filter off and WACO still shows $25,504,084 itemized. $700,000 is the slice tagged to C00628842. Open the Waco, TX hub for the remainder $24,804,084. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night.

OHIO FREEDOM FUND (C00628842) is the recipient; WACO and Texas are the donor-city geography. $700,000 does not mean the committee spent $700,000 in Ohio or in Waco. The join is two fields. Waco leftover: $24,804,084 (2.74% of the city book is this cell).

Committee hub versus this cell

C00628842 is disclosed as OHIO FREEDOM FUND. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $700,000 is itemized individual receipts storing city WACO and committee C00628842. Other cities giving to OHIO FREEDOM FUND appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Long or truncated FEC names stay as stored. DBA clauses, AKA clauses, slashes, and parentheticals are part of the label on C00628842. Short titles on this page still point at that ID. Do not invent a cleaner legal name.

Exact-match city strings

2.74% of $25,504,084 is $700,000 to OHIO FREEDOM FUND (C00628842). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Waco, TX as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $25,504,084 city book went to other committees. Even when 2.74% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00628842 filter.

The leftover $24,804,084 under the WACO city string went to other committees. The Waco, TX hub holds that remainder. The OHIO FREEDOM FUND page holds receipts whose city field did not store WACO. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00628842; each join is its own filter.

Outside the $700,000 total

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $700,000. Texas 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 $700,000 as proof that Waco, TX “funded” OHIO FREEDOM FUND as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Texas. 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 $700,000 to federal spending in Texas.

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. OHIO FREEDOM FUND (C00628842) is the recipient; WACO and Texas are the donor-city geography. $700,000 does not mean the committee spent $700,000 in Ohio or in Waco. The join is two fields. Waco leftover: $24,804,084 (2.74% of the city book is this cell).

How researchers should quote C00628842

Internal links go to Waco, TX, OHIO FREEDOM FUND, Texas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $25,504,084 book and the committees that received the leftover $24,804,084. The committee page holds C00628842 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: Waco, TX and OHIO FREEDOM FUND (C00628842). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $700,000 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 $700,000, $25,504,084, 2.74%, leftover $24,804,084, and C00628842. Keep both sides named: WACO as filer-entered city, OHIO FREEDOM FUND 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.

Questions

What is the Waco × OHIO FREEDOM FUND FEC total?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city WACO and recipient OHIO FREEDOM FUND (C00628842) total $700,000 in this extract. That is the join, not Waco, TX’s all-committee book of $25,504,084. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Is WACO merged with nearby cities?

No. WACO is the exact stored city string with state TX. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $700,000. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Waco, TX hub for the all-committee book of $25,504,084.

How much of the $25.5M Waco book is C00628842?

$700,000 is 2.74% of the $25,504,084 Waco, TX city book. The leftover $24,804,084 went to other committees under the same city string. Quote both dollars and the committee ID C00628842. Do not upgrade 2.74% into a ranking of civic preference.

Do Waco donations to OHIO FREEDOM FUND fund USAspending awards?

No. The series is FEC individual contributions. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Geography on a contribution line does not convert the gift into a federal award in Texas.
