Donors in Salt Lake City, UT to SMP

Salt Lake City, UT itemized gifts tagged to SMP

$1,501,936 requires both keys at once: contributor city SALT LAKE CITY with state UT, and recipient committee C00484642 disclosed as SMP. LobbyVault keeps a Salt Lake City, UT city hub and a SMP committee hub. Neither hub is this page. The city hub lists every committee that received itemized gifts storing this city string. The committee hub lists every city that gave to C00484642. This URL is only the intersection.

The packet does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or election cycles for this pair. $1,501,936 is a dollar aggregate. Treating it as a typical gift size or as a count of households is arithmetic the file does not support.

The overlay, when present, points at the live committee path for C00484642. If that overlay or a later FEC extract disagrees with $1,501,936, the Commission’s filing controls. This JSON is a snapshot of one grouped extract.

Putting $93,960,108 in context

Salt Lake City, UT’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $93,960,108. $1,501,936 is 1.60% of that book. A thin or moderate share is the usual result of comparing one committee with every other recipient on the city tape. The leftover $92,458,172 went to other committees under SALT LAKE CITY, or sits outside this recipient filter.

The stored city sits in Utah. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into SALT LAKE CITY. Utah campaign-finance pages include other cities. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $1,501,936 into spending by Salt Lake City, UT candidates or into independent expenditures by SMP.

Committee SMP on one ID

C00484642 is disclosed as SMP. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $1,501,936 is itemized individual receipts storing city SALT LAKE CITY and committee C00484642. Other cities giving to SMP appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the city filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. SMP on another ID is a different page. This URL is Salt Lake City, UT × C00484642, not Utah × C00484642 and not every spelling of SALT LAKE CITY. If a live overlay at the committee path disagrees with $1,501,936, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Arithmetic of the leftover

1.60% of $93,960,108 is $1,501,936 to SMP (C00484642). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Salt Lake City, UT as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $93,960,108 city book went to other committees. Even when 1.60% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00484642 filter.

The leftover $92,458,172 under the SALT LAKE CITY city string went to other committees. The Salt Lake City, UT hub holds that remainder. The SMP page holds receipts whose city field did not store SALT LAKE CITY. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00484642; each join is its own filter.

What correlation is not

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $1,501,936. Utah 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 $1,501,936 as proof that Salt Lake City, UT “funded” SMP as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Utah. 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 $1,501,936 to federal spending in Utah.

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. Salt Lake City’s SMP cell is $1,501,936 against a $93,960,108 city book (1.60%). This URL is SALT LAKE CITY × C00484642 only. A San Francisco or Weston SMP page is a different city filter and is not a component of $1,501,936.

FEC.gov versus this snapshot

Internal links go to Salt Lake City, UT, SMP, Utah campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $93,960,108 book and the committees that received the leftover $92,458,172. The committee page holds C00484642 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: Salt Lake City, UT and SMP (C00484642). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $1,501,936 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 $1,501,936, $93,960,108, 1.60%, leftover $92,458,172, and C00484642. Keep both sides named: SALT LAKE CITY as filer-entered city, SMP 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.
