NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

Majority of a short occupation key

54.1% of Dealer itemized dollars landed on NADA PAC. That is a high share for an occupation-PAC join. $3,810,600 still went to other federal committees. Majority of this key is not majority of every auto-related title. Auto dealer, car dealer, and dealer principal can exist as other occupation strings.

6,625 receipts at mean $677 is a thicker check size than several labor-PAC joins with more lines. The packet still has no unique-donor count and no franchise-brand split. Toyota versus Ford is not a field.

Read Dealer for the occupation hub, NADA PAC for C00040998, All occupations for neighboring titles, and All FEC ties for other joins. General Manager to the same NADA PAC is a sibling page, not a subset of this one.

Keep Dealer → NADA PAC (C00040998): $4,483,011 in 6,625 itemized receipts. on one sentence and the occupation-wide total on another. All FEC ties is the index for other occupation-to-committee pages. This snapshot does not replace FEC.gov bulk files.

DEALER as stored

Dealer’s occupation-wide total is $8,293,611. Art dealer, antiques dealer, and auto dealer can share the same four-letter stamp if that is what was typed. This aggregate does not separate them. The committee name supplies the auto-trade context for the join, not a recode of the occupation field.

LobbyVault does not merge dealer principal, general manager, or owner into Dealer. Those keys keep their own occupation totals. Adding them would invent a dealership-workforce recode.

Quote Dealer for the occupation-wide $8,293,611 and quote NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00040998) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $4,483,011 across 6,625 itemized receipts, 54.1% of the occupation book, mean $677. Remainder $3,810,600 (45.9%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Itemized individual contributions only; independent expenditures are outside the source note. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $4,483,011 to $8,293,611. Do not treat 6,625 as unique donors.

Questions

How much did Dealer filers give to NADA PAC?

$4,483,011 in 6,625 itemized receipts to C00040998, 54.1% of Dealer’s $8,293,611 occupation total. Mean $677 is total divided by contribution count. Unique donors are not in the packet. Independent expenditures are excluded. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Are art dealers in this $4.5 million?

They can be if the occupation line stored Dealer and the recipient was C00040998. The FEC field is the short string, not a NAICS auto-dealer code. The committee name is the National Automobile Dealers Association PAC, which is context for the join, not a recode of every Dealer row.

Is this the same as General Manager money to NADA PAC?

No. General Manager is a different occupation key with its own join to C00040998. Adding the two joins would double-count nothing and would invent a dealership-staff total FEC did not store. Use each /ties/ page separately. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Does 54.1 percent mean most dealers give to NADA?

No. 54.1% is a dollar share of itemized Dealer occupation receipts, not a share of people and not a membership rate. $3,810,600 of the Dealer book went to other federal committees. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
