WASH, DC: $35.3M on 23,739 FEC receipts

WASH is the stored abbreviation

Twenty-three thousand seven hundred thirty-nine lines produce $35,306,017. Divide the pair and the mean itemized line is about $1,487. That mean is $35,306,017 divided by a relatively thin District book. It is not a typical household gift and not a typical K Street gift.

WASHINGTON is a different city string when filers typed the full name. This packet publishes WASH plus DC only. Expanding WASH to Washington would mix keys. $35,306,017 is the WASH match.

A thin District book on large dollars

Dropping the line count and quoting only $35,306,017 hides the thin-book shape. Twenty-three thousand seven hundred thirty-nine receipts is a smaller denominator than most cities in this dollar band. A few large rows move the mean quickly.

Committee streets are common in District filings. A PAC or joint-fundraising address counts if the filer typed WASH. The 23,739 lines are receipts, not unique persons. Recheck both facts on the live hub after a later extract.

City field versus ZIP pages

Filers type a city. The Commission stores that string. ZIP pages cut the same federal series by postal code. Summing District ZIPs will not reproduce $35,306,017, because some receipts used WASHINGTON or another label.

The 23,739-line count follows the WASH city field, not the postal map and not an employer field.

What this table omits

District of Columbia local campaigns file under local law. Those receipts sit outside $35,306,017 and outside 23,739. Unitemized federal gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures that never appear as contribution itemizations are outside both facts.

Nothing here estimates how the District voted. Occupation and recipient live on other FEC fields. Use the city table, then ZIP pages, then the cities index.

Citing WASH, DC

Name FEC.gov, name the abbreviated contributor city WASH, and print $35,306,017 with 23,739 together. Do not substitute a WASHINGTON hub total.

If the live hub disagrees with this snapshot, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named WASH receipt matters. The mean near $1,487 is optional arithmetic from a thin denominator.

How to read an abbreviated city key

Start on the live WASH city page. $35,306,017 is the city-string dollar total in this snapshot. 23,739 is the matching line count. Those two numbers move together when FEC.gov amends a receipt. They do not move because a researcher prefers the full spelling WASHINGTON.

Quote the abbreviation in the citation. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov for any named WASH receipt that needs a line-by-line check.

Do not expand WASH to Washington in the citation. Do not borrow a WASHINGTON hub total. Carry FEC.gov, contributor city WASH, DC, $35,306,017, and 23,739 lines. The mean near $1,487 is optional arithmetic from a thin denominator. It is not a typical household gift and not a typical committee gift. Unitemized federal gifts stay off this page. Local non-federal filings stay off this page. A thin line count can still include repeat givers. 23,739 is not a unique-donor census. $35,306,017 is still the dollar sum of those lines. Quote both. The live WASH hub is the table. This guide is the footnote. If they disagree, trust the hub. Open original reports on FEC.gov when a named WASH receipt matters. ZIP pages split a different field. Occupation lives on other FEC fields.

WASH’s pair is $35,306,017 and 23,739 lines. Print both. A later extract that adds or removes a few large rows will move the mean quickly because 23,739 is a smaller denominator than most cities in this dollar band. That is why the line count belongs in every citation. District ZIP sums will not reproduce $35,306,017 when some receipts used WASHINGTON or another label. Independent expenditures that are not contribution itemizations never enter either fact. If a later extract on the live hub prints a different pair, discard this snapshot. Original filings remain on FEC.gov. Quote the abbreviation you actually matched. Do not treat WASH as a recode of the full spelling.

WASH’s pair on this extract is $35,306,017 and 23,739 lines, mean near $1,487. Print the abbreviation with both numbers. Do not substitute a WASHINGTON hub total. A thin denominator moves the mean quickly when FEC.gov amends a few large rows. District ZIP sums will not reproduce $35,306,017 when some receipts used another label. Local non-federal filings and unitemized federal gifts sit outside both facts. Repeat givers can inflate 23,739 without adding unique persons. The live WASH FEC page is the authority if this snapshot and the hub diverge. Open FEC.gov for a named receipt. Quote contributor city WASH, DC with both packet numbers.
