Seattle, WA political money — 2014 cycle

Seattle, WA itemized giving inside the 2014 cycle

Seattle, WA itemized $213,035 inside the 2014 FEC midterm cycle. 216 contribution records carry that total. The same city label, all cycles, is $327.1 million ($327,126,798). This page is the intersection, written so neither hub is mistaken for the join.

Mean itemized size is about $986 per row. Repeat givers, bundled events, and office addresses sit in the same 216-line stack. Unique people are not counted in the packet. Employer and occupation strings are other joins.

Cite FEC.gov. Do not paste $213,035 into a USAspending award narrative. Itemized campaign receipts and federal obligations are different statutes. This packet has no award dollars.

City aggregate $327.1 million across cycles

All-cycle Seattle, WA itemized individual contributions: $327,126,798. 2014 slice: $213,035 (0.1%). Other cycles: $326,913,763 (99.9%). Those three numbers are closed arithmetic on the packet. They do not include unitemized gifts.

The city sits in King County, Washington. those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into SEATTLE. Donor city is still not recipient city. A WA address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Washington candidate.

What a midterm cycle means on FEC.gov

A midterm cycle on FEC.gov is still a two-year reporting window. Seattle, WA donors itemized $213,035 in that window. 216 records. 0.1% 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 Washington competitiveness. The packet has dollars, a row count, a city string, and a cycle year.

216 is a receipt count

This page does not rank Seattle against other cities, does not call 2014 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Washington. Two columns matched. The city of the contributor is not the city of the campaign.

A WA address on an individual receipt does not mean the money supported a Washington candidate. A candidate who lives in Seattle 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 SEATTLE, state WA, election cycle 2014, itemized dollars $213,035, itemized rows 216, all-cycle city dollars $327,126,798. Any citation that drops the cycle or drops the city is a different claim. 2014 is a midterm election cycle. That label is a two-year FEC window, not a reason the dollars moved and not a ranking of King County, Washington against other places.

How to read the two hubs without collapsing them: Seattle, WA still mixes 2014 with every other even-year tag under SEATTLE. The 2014 election cycle still mixes Seattle, WA with every other donor city in the United States. Washington campaign finance still mixes this city with the rest of Washington. All FEC ties is the directory of other two-dimension pages. $213,035 exists only where city SEATTLE and cycle 2014 are both true.

No party, office, or occupation split here

If a later extract revises $213,035 or $327,126,798, update from the live Seattle, WA and 2014 hubs. This file documents the packet that produced the overlay, not a permanent statute total.

Cross-check: donor city SEATTLE, state WA, cycle 2014, cycle dollars $213,035, cycle rows 216, city dollars $327,126,798. Those six facts are the entire numeric set. Everything else is definition and caveat.

Neighboring city strings remain outside this join. Around Seattle, WA, filers also use labels such as Bellevue, Tacoma, and Redmond; those nearby strings are separate FEC city keys and are not rolled into SEATTLE. Those dollars, if any, sit on other city keys. Unitemized federal gifts, independent expenditures, PAC transfers, and Washington state-office filings sit outside $213,035 and outside $327,126,798. FEC.gov is the source; USAspending is a different statute and is not funded by these receipts.

Questions

Seattle, WA 2014 donations: how much is itemized at the FEC?

$213,035 across 216 itemized individual contribution records. Citywide across cycles the same string is $327,126,798. Unitemized federal gifts and Washington state filings are outside both numbers. Source: FEC.gov. 2014 is 0.1% of that city book by dollars. This is the city-cycle join, not a unique-donor census.

Does the $327.1 million Seattle, WA total equal the 2014 cycle?

No. $327.1 million ($327,126,798) is every cycle. 2014 is $213,035 (0.1%). Subtract to get $326,913,763 in other cycles. Adding $213,035 to the city book would double-count this window. Use the city hub for the stack and this tie page for the 2014 slice.

Where did Seattle, WA 2014 contributions go?

This join does not list recipient committees, parties, or offices. Donor city SEATTLE is an address field. Recipients can be anywhere the FEC accepts filings. $213,035 is not allocated in these facts and is not a map of Washington campaigns.

Is 216 the number of Seattle, WA donors in 2014?

No. 216 is itemized receipts, not unique donors. One person can appear on several lines. Mean about $986 per line uses $213,035 ÷ 216. A unique-donor census is not in the packet, and unitemized gifts are omitted. Treat 216 as Schedule A lines for this city string.
