NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS FOR HOLLY LYNCH

A thin contribution count against a large dollar cell

Occupation ADVERTISING and committee C00658070 produce $1,464,174 from 63 itemized lines. Dividing those dollars by 63 gifts yields about $23,241 per contribution. That mean is an arithmetic result of a small denominator. It is not a typical advertising-worker check, and it is not a billings figure for any shop.

The occupation hub is $7,811,913 across every recipient. About 18.7% of that bucket matched NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS FOR HOLLY LYNCH. The other 81.3% of ADVERTISING-coded dollars sits elsewhere. Quoting only this tie as ‘advertising money’ drops that remainder.

ADVERTISING as typed is a trade label, not an employer. Filers who wrote COPYWRITER, MEDIA BUYER, or AD EXECUTIVE, if those strings exist, sit in other occupation hubs. This join does not certify employment at a New York agency or a role on any campaign creative team.

ADVERTISING as a filer-entered occupation bucket

The $7,811,913 national total is the ADVERTISING string only. It is not NAICS 5418, not an American Advertising Federation roster, and not a sum of agency PACs. Individual Schedule A lines carry whatever occupation the donor or the committee typed.

LobbyVault groups similar strings so a researcher can open one occupation hub. That grouping still leaves spelling variants in other buckets. This page locates how much of the labeled ADVERTISING money also named C00658070. 63 itemized lines carrying $1,464,174 is the opposite of a high-volume small-check pattern. A researcher who only quotes the $7,811,913 occupation hub will miss how concentrated this recipient cell is, and a researcher who only quotes C00658070 will miss every other occupation on that committee.
