How does 2014 compare with the rest of Milwaukee giving?

2014 is $151,550, 0.21% of the $73,400,945 Milwaukee, WI book. Other cycles hold $73,249,395 (99.8%). Those shares use this city aggregate as the denominator. They are not shares of Wisconsin or of the national 2014 cycle, which are not in these facts.

Are the 125 2014 rows unique Milwaukee residents?

No. 125 is a receipt count. The same household can appear more than once, and an office or joint-fundraising address stored as MILWAUKEE can sit beside a home address. LobbyVault does not convert the city field into a Census residency test. Unique-donor counts are not in the packet.

Do these Milwaukee dollars fund federal awards?

No. $151,550 is FEC itemized individual contributions. USAspending obligations are a different statute and a different table. This packet has no award dollars, contractor names, or recipient UEIs. A shared geography does not turn campaign receipts into federal spending.

What source backs the Milwaukee, WI 2014 figures?

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and election cycle. This snapshot stores $151,550 and 125 lines for MILWAUKEE in 2014, plus $73,400,945 for the city string across cycles. If a later extract disagrees, the Commission filing controls.

Milwaukee, WI political money — 2014 cycle

Inside Milwaukee, WI's $73,400,945 all-cycle itemized book, the 2014 window is $151,550 — 0.21% of that city stack, across 125 FEC contribution records. The remainder, $73,249,395, sits in other cycles under the same MILWAUKEE label. This page is the city-and-cycle join, sourced from FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, not a restatement of either hub.

Key figures

0.21% of Milwaukee, WI's $73,400,945 itemized book was filed in the 2014 cycle ($151,550).
125 itemized lines average about $1,212 each.
State WI stays on the key so Milwaukee is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures sit outside $151,550.

2014's share of the Milwaukee book

0.21% is $151,550 divided by $73,400,945. 99.8% is $73,249,395 divided by $73,400,945. Those two percentages use only the city aggregate as the denominator. They are not Milwaukee's share of Wisconsin itemized giving and not Milwaukee's share of the national 2014 cycle. Those other denominators are not in this packet and are not invented here.

The join still has a row count: 125 itemized gifts, a mid-size itemized file. Dollar share and row volume can tell different stories; this file reports both and ranks neither. Mean size is about $1,212 per row. 2014 is a midterm election cycle, which labels the two-year FEC window and does not interpret $151,550.

Two hubs, one intersection for Milwaukee, WI

Open Milwaukee, WI for every cycle stored under MILWAUKEE. Open the 2014 election cycle for every donor city in that window. The 125 rows totaling $151,550 exist only where both filters are true. Treating the city hub as a 2014 page, or the cycle hub as a Milwaukee page, collapses dimensions the FEC file kept separate.

Milwaukee sits in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Madison, Wauwatosa, and Shorewood are other Wisconsin city strings. Keep state WI on the citation. A repeated city name under another postal code is a different FEC key and is not folded into $73,400,945.

Donor city is the address field on the individual receipt. Committees that received these gifts can be anywhere in the FEC system. This join does not allocate $151,550 by office, party, or recipient state.

The Wisconsin context without double-counting

Wisconsin campaign finance already includes Milwaukee when the same extract is used. Adding $151,550 on top of a state total counts the same receipts twice. All FEC ties lists other city-cycle pages; none of them converts donations into USAspending obligations.

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and state-office filings sit outside $151,550 and outside $73,400,945. Both published dollars are itemized federal individual contributions.

Rows are not residents

125 is a mid-size itemized file. Repeat dates, multiple committees, and spelling variants of MILWAUKEE can add lines without adding people. Unique-person counts are not in the facts. Employer and occupation strings are other joins. This city-cycle page does not break $151,550 out by occupation, industry, or recipient committee.

Internal links on this file are Milwaukee, WI, the 2014 election cycle, Wisconsin campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four. Do not paste $151,550 into a USAspending award story. FEC individual contributions and federal obligations are collected under different statutes, on different forms, for different filers. This packet has no award dollars and no contractor names.

What the join is not

The page does not rank Milwaukee as more or less political than other places, and it does not treat itemized dollars as public opinion in Wisconsin. Amended filings can move $151,550 or $73,400,945. If the live Milwaukee, WI hub or the live 2014 cycle hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls. Source: FEC.gov.

This page does not rank Milwaukee against other cities, does not call 2014 a wave, and does not treat itemized giving as a proxy for public opinion in Wisconsin. Two columns matched: city MILWAUKEE and cycle 2014. The product of that match is $151,550 on 125 rows. Public-opinion claims, turnout claims, and wealth claims would require fields this packet does not have.

Filer spelling splits metros. A contributor who typed MILWAUKEE is inside $151,550. A contributor who typed a neighborhood, a firm city, or a nearby suburb is not recoded into Milwaukee. Milwaukee sits in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin. Madison, Wauwatosa, and Shorewood are other Wisconsin city strings. Treat 125 as lines that stored this string in 2014, not as a labor-force or voter-file headcount of Milwaukee, WI.

The live Milwaukee, WI hub is the place to browse other cycles under the same city label. The live 2014 election cycle hub is the place to browse other cities in the same two-year window. Wisconsin campaign finance is the state roll-up. All FEC ties is the directory. This snapshot cites $151,550, 125 rows, $73,400,945 citywide, and the derived remainder $73,249,395.
