AMAZON.COM money in federal elections

Dotted .COM as stored, not an e-commerce recode

Two hundred sixty-five unique donors produced 9,951 contributions totaling $3,570,195. About 38 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $359 describe the arithmetic. AMAZON without the .COM, AMAZON.COM INC, AMAZON WEB SERVICES, and WHOLE FOODS can exist as other keys. They are not inside $3,570,195 unless they grouped to AMAZON.COM.

Top employer matches AMAZON.COM. The FEC field records what was typed, not a securities-filing legal name. LobbyVault does not recode AMAZON or AWS into this dotted domain stamp. Researchers who want a combined Amazon family must recode after export. Two hundred sixty-five unique people is a narrower roster than several communications brands near this dollar band.

265 donors and 9,951 lines

9,951 lines from 265 people is a thick receipt pattern relative to the donor count. Mean per donor is about $13,472 — among the higher per-person means in this packet wave, driven by fewer unique donors rather than a published large-gift field. The packet does not publish a retail-versus-cloud split or a cycle year.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the company’s committee PAC filings are outside the $3,570,195 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.

AMAZON, AWS, and AMAZON.COM INC stay separate

AMAZON, AMAZON.COM INC, AWS, and SOFTWARE ENGINEER are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with AMAZON.COM would mix a short brand, a legal-suffix spelling, a cloud unit, and a job title. This page reports $3,570,195 for AMAZON.COM only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the dotted stamp. ENGINEER, MANAGER, and WAREHOUSE exist as industry keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of AMAZON.COM.

Donor table without fulfillment inference

The AMAZON.COM donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a fulfillment center, a cloud region, or a motive to that line. Alumni who still type the dotted domain share the string with current staff. The FEC field is not an HR file.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the domain stamp. Repeat names among 9,951 lines from 265 people are expected. People who typed only AMAZON are not in these 265 unless a receipt also grouped to AMAZON.COM.

Dotted AMAZON.COM versus short AMAZON and AWS

AMAZON.COM keyed $3.6M from 9,951 contributions and 265 donors. AMAZON, AMAZON.COM INC, and AWS remain other keys. The 265 unique donors are matching text, not a headcount of the company’s workforce. Occupation breakdowns list titles stored beside the dotted stamp.

Keep $3,570,195 on this .COM spelling. WHOLE FOODS stays on its own employer page if stored that way. The donor table lists disclosed recipients; this guide does not assign party percentages. Unitemized gifts remain omitted.

Read $3,570,195 as the AMAZON.COM cluster only. About 38 gifts per person, a mean gift near $359, and about $13,472 per donor are packet arithmetic. Fewer unique donors than several utility stamps at similar dollars raise the per-person mean; the packet does not publish a retail-versus-cloud split. Unitemized gifts and company PAC filings sit outside the $3.6M unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string.

LobbyVault does not recode AMAZON or AWS into this dotted domain. The FEC field is not a securities-filing legal name and not a NAICS electronic-shopping total. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Questions

How much have AMAZON.COM-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $3,570,195 to the AMAZON.COM employer string, from 9,951 contributions and 265 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not the company’s PAC and not a NAICS electronic-shopping total. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is the short AMAZON brand included?

Only if those receipts grouped to AMAZON.COM. AMAZON without the .COM, AMAZON.COM INC, and AWS are separate grouped keys if filers used them. The $3.6M total is receipts whose employer text grouped to AMAZON.COM. LobbyVault does not merge those variants into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Does this include the company’s PAC?

Not unless an individual receipt itself lists AMAZON.COM. Committee PAC filings sit outside the $3,570,195 individual rollup. This page reports itemized contributor disclosures, not independent expenditures. Unitemized gifts are omitted. The $3.6M figure is the individual employer-string total only. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed AMAZON.COM?

The rollup counts 265 donors and 9,951 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the company. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
