Donors in Mclean, VA to DSCC

Mclean, VA itemized gifts tagged to DSCC

$404,501 requires both keys at once: contributor city MCLEAN with state VA, and recipient committee C00042366 disclosed as DSCC. LobbyVault keeps a Mclean, VA city hub and a DSCC 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 C00042366. This URL is only the intersection.

The packet does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or election cycles for this pair. $404,501 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 C00042366. If that overlay or a later FEC extract disagrees with $404,501, the Commission’s filing controls. This JSON is a snapshot of one grouped extract.

Putting $117,414,488 in context

Mclean, VA’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $117,414,488. $404,501 is 0.34% 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 $117,009,987 went to other committees under MCLEAN, or sits outside this recipient filter.

The stored city sits in Virginia. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into MCLEAN. Virginia campaign-finance pages include other cities. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $404,501 into spending by Mclean, VA candidates or into independent expenditures by DSCC.

Committee DSCC on one ID

C00042366 is disclosed as DSCC. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $404,501 is itemized individual receipts storing city MCLEAN and committee C00042366. Other cities giving to DSCC 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. DSCC on another ID is a different page. This URL is Mclean, VA × C00042366, not Virginia × C00042366 and not every spelling of MCLEAN. If a live overlay at the committee path disagrees with $404,501, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Arithmetic of the leftover

0.34% of $117,414,488 is $404,501 to DSCC (C00042366). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Mclean, VA as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $117,414,488 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.34% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00042366 filter.

The leftover $117,009,987 under the MCLEAN city string went to other committees. The Mclean, VA hub holds that remainder. The DSCC page holds receipts whose city field did not store MCLEAN. Do not stack this cell with another city’s gifts to C00042366; each join is its own filter.

What correlation is not

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $404,501. Virginia 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 $404,501 as proof that Mclean, VA “funded” DSCC as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Virginia. 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 $404,501 to federal spending in Virginia.

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. The stored city is MCLEAN (displayed Mclean in titles). DSCC (C00042366) received $404,501 from that string, 0.34% of $117,414,488. McLean spellings with different capitalization or Mc Lean are other keys if they exist. Leftover: $117,009,987.

FEC.gov versus this snapshot

Internal links go to Mclean, VA, DSCC, Virginia campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $117,414,488 book and the committees that received the leftover $117,009,987. The committee page holds C00042366 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: Mclean, VA and DSCC (C00042366). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $404,501 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 $404,501, $117,414,488, 0.34%, leftover $117,009,987, and C00042366. Keep both sides named: MCLEAN as filer-entered city, DSCC 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
