FIRST NATIONAL BANK as FEC employer text: $6.8 million

One string, many possible charters

LobbyVault groups exact employer text. FIRST NATIONAL BANK is a label that appears on storefronts in dozens of cities. The $6,829,508 total is itemized gifts whose receipts grouped to that phrase. It is not one bank’s payroll export and not a NAICS rollup of all national banks.

People who typed FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF [city], FNB, BANK OF AMERICA, or BANKER without a charter sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not split this key by city or FDIC certificate. Researchers who need a single institution must recode after reading the donor table.

City-suffixed variants such as FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF followed by a place name, if stored, are other keys. This page is the unsuffixed phrase only. That is why the donor table matters more here than on a unique legal name.

501 donors and 17,562 lines

501 unique donors produced 17,562 FIRST NATIONAL BANK contribution lines totaling $6,829,508. That is on the order of 35 itemized receipts per donor. The packet does not publish a mean gift, a city split, or a count of distinct charters hiding under the same letters.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any one bank’s committee PAC filings are outside the $6,829,508 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

501 unique donors produced 17,562 lines totaling $6,829,508. Those people may have worked at different charters. LobbyVault does not cluster them by routing number or FDIC certificate.

Bank of America, banker, and broker rows

BANK OF AMERICA is a separate, specific holding-company string. BANKER and BROKER are title keys when donors put the function in the employer box. Combining them with FIRST NATIONAL BANK would mix a generic trade name with other FEC fields. This page stays at $6,829,508 for FIRST NATIONAL BANK only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the bank text. MORGAN STANLEY and GOLDMAN SACHS remain securities-firm keys, not substitutes for this community-bank-style label.

Donor table

The FIRST NATIONAL BANK donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a call report, a merger, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not an FDIC institution list. Two donors on this table may have worked at different banks that share the name.

Repeat names are expected among 17,562 lines from 501 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the trade-name string.

Shared trade names need the donor table

FIRST NATIONAL BANK grouped $6,829,508 from 501 donors and 17,562 lines under a label many unrelated charters use. The industry headline cannot tell those charters apart. City suffixes, FNB abbreviations, and BANK OF AMERICA are other keys. Researchers who need one FDIC certificate must read names and addresses on the donor table.

BANKER and BROKER are title strings. MORGAN STANLEY and GOLDMAN SACHS are securities-firm strings. None of those totals belong inside the $6,829,508. Unitemized gifts and any one bank’s PAC filings stay out unless an individual receipt lists FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

LobbyVault does not attach a call report to a large gift. Two donors on this table may have worked at different banks that share the name. Follow committees for party and office. Source: FEC.gov via LobbyVault, not a NAICS commercial-banking total.
