PLUMBERS UNION LOCAL 690 POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE

A local PAC on a national occupation key

Local 690 is a local in the committee name. Plumber is a national occupation string. $4,061,088 does not prove every plumber in the file lives in that local’s geography. Filers anywhere can list Plumber and this committee if that is how the receipt was stored.

36,565 lines at mean $111 is a high-count, modest-check pattern typical of repeat itemizations. Unique donors are unpublished. Do not convert 36,565 into a membership roster.
