Nevada federal obligations beside FEC fundraising totals

NV is a join key, not a Strip-to-PAC pipeline

SpendingVault indexes $110,757,882,463 in Nevada obligations. LobbyVault indexes $33.3 million in Nevada candidate receipts. Hotel, mining, and test-site stories may send a reader to both hubs. They do not map a Schedule A gift to an award ID. The relationship is the NV abbreviation shared by 84,479 award actions and 666 committees.

$110.8 billion in commitments is not a restatement of $33.3 million in receipts. Obligations measure what agencies promised to pay. Receipts measure what candidate committees booked. Citing either number as a proxy for the other is a category error.

Open Nevada federal spending for the award table and Nevada FEC totals for the candidate table. All spending ties lists other state joins built the same way.

What the 84,479-award extract actually counts

84,479 is a row count of award actions, including modifications. It is not a unique-vendor census. $110,757,882,463 is the matching obligation sum. Average dollars per action are about $1,311,070 if you divide those two facts — not a typical defense line and not a typical assistance award.

Place of performance tagged to Nevada is not proof that every dollar was disbursed in-state. Outlays can lag. This packet publishes obligations, not outlays. Recipient names live on Nevada federal spending, not inside the FEC roster.

Republican-majority receipts on 666 committees

Republican committees reported $20.5 million (61.8% of $33.3 million). Democratic committees reported $12.6 million (37.9%). Other filers reported $102,615 (0.3%). 666 federal candidate committees tagged to Nevada sit behind those lines. A 61.8% receipt share is not a share of $110,757,882,463.

Party labels travel with candidate committees. USAspending rows here have no party field. State-office campaigns file under Nevada law and sit outside the FEC total. Do not paint obligation dollars with FEC colors.

Clark County versus the rest of Nevada is not a packet split

This extract does not divide $110,757,882,463 or $33.3 million between Las Vegas metro and rural Nevada. 84,479 awards and 666 committees are statewide. A metro cut would be a different file. Independent expenditures about Nevada candidates can be paid from elsewhere and sit in neither total.

Do not add $33.3 million to $110,757,882,463. Do not divide awards by committees. Candidate committees are not award recipients in this join. Correlation is not causation.

Nevada citation without a plus sign

USAspending.gov: $110,757,882,463; 84,479 awards. FEC.gov: $33.3 million; 666 committees; Republican $20.5 million; Democratic $12.6 million; other $102,615. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. 666 is a filing count, not a November ballot census. 84,479 is an action count, not unique vendors.

Local procurement paid without a federal award sits outside the obligation total. Amended reports move receipts; award restatements move obligations. Nevada federal spending and Nevada FEC totals are the live hubs. A later ingest can restate the obligation total without touching receipts. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

What a later Nevada ingest would change

A later USAspending file can restate $110,757,882,463 without touching receipts. A later FEC file can restate $33.3 million without touching 84,479. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. All spending ties does not hide a blended Nevada total.

Do not rank Nevada as more connected because receipts sit beside obligations. Influence is not a field in this packet. Tourism folklore remains outside both extracts unless it appears as an agency or recipient row. Clark County names belong on Nevada federal spending if they appear as place-of-performance rows; they do not belong on the FEC sentence. Keep each dollar on the statute that produced it.

Casino-tax and tourism talking points are not packet NAICS. Keep Nevada’s obligation total labeled as commitments, not outlays. A researcher who wants both pictures keeps two tabs and does not add the totals. Clark County is not a third ledger in this extract. Amended candidate reports move receipts; award restatements move obligations. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.

Questions

Do Nevada campaign donations pay for federal awards in Nevada?

No. $33.3 million in FEC receipts and $110,757,882,463 in USAspending obligations are different datasets joined by the NV code. 666 committees are not the 84,479 award actions. A shared state tag is not a funding path.
