Itemized Milwaukee, WI money to ACTBLUE

Milwaukee, WI itemized gifts tagged to ACTBLUE

$563,415 requires both keys at once: contributor city MILWAUKEE with state WI, and recipient committee C00401224 disclosed as ACTBLUE. LobbyVault keeps a Milwaukee, WI city hub and a ACTBLUE 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 C00401224. This URL is only the intersection.

The packet does not name unique donors, contribution counts, or election cycles for this pair. $563,415 is a dollar aggregate. Treating it as a typical gift size or as a count of households is arithmetic the file does not support. MILWAUKEE is the stored city string; Madison and other Wisconsin place names are other keys. ACTBLUE’s $563,415 sits inside a $73,400,945 Milwaukee book. Do not rank Wisconsin cities from this cell.

Putting $73,400,945 in context

Milwaukee, WI's all-committee itemized book in this extract is $73,400,945. $563,415 is 0.77% 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 $72,837,530 went to other committees under MILWAUKEE, or sits outside this recipient filter.

The stored city sits in Wisconsin. Neighboring municipalities are not absorbed into MILWAUKEE. Wisconsin campaign-finance pages include other cities. All FEC ties lists other city-committee pages. None of them converts $563,415 into spending by Milwaukee, WI candidates or into independent expenditures by ACTBLUE.

Committee ACTBLUE on one ID

C00401224 is disclosed as ACTBLUE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $563,415 is itemized individual receipts storing city MILWAUKEE and committee C00401224. Other cities giving to ACTBLUE 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. ACTBLUE on another ID is a different page. This URL is Milwaukee, WI × C00401224, not Wisconsin × C00401224 and not every spelling of MILWAUKEE. If a live overlay at the committee path disagrees with $563,415, the overlay and FEC.gov control.

Arithmetic of the leftover

0.77% of $73,400,945 is $563,415 to ACTBLUE (C00401224). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that residents of Milwaukee, WI as a group preferred this committee. Most of the $73,400,945 city book went to other committees. Even when 0.77% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00401224 filter.

The leftover $72,837,530 under the MILWAUKEE city string went to other committees. The Milwaukee, WI hub holds that remainder. The ACTBLUE page holds receipts whose city field did not store MILWAUKEE. Do not stack this cell with another city's gifts to C00401224; each join is its own filter.

What correlation is not

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $563,415. Wisconsin 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 $563,415 as proof that Milwaukee, WI funded ACTBLUE as a municipal act, or that the committee spent the money in Wisconsin. 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 $563,415 to federal spending in Wisconsin.

FEC.gov versus this snapshot

Internal links go to Milwaukee, WI, ACTBLUE, Wisconsin campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The city page holds the $73,400,945 book and the committees that received the leftover $72,837,530. The committee page holds C00401224 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: Milwaukee, WI and ACTBLUE (C00401224). Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $563,415 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 $563,415, $73,400,945, 0.77%, leftover $72,837,530, and C00401224.

Questions

How much did Milwaukee, WI donors give ACTBLUE?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing city MILWAUKEE and recipient ACTBLUE (C00401224) total $563,415 in this extract. That is the join, not Milwaukee, WI's all-committee book of $73,400,945. These figures are not independent expenditures. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does the Milwaukee, WI total include every spelling of the city name?

No. MILWAUKEE is the exact stored city string with state WI. Other spellings, abbreviations, and neighboring places are other keys and are omitted from $563,415. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a Census place. Use the Milwaukee, WI hub for the all-committee book of $73,400,945.
