How much have LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $4,157,632 to the LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS employer string, from 84,102 contributions and 1,927 donors. These are itemized individual receipts on FEC.gov, not a union PAC total and not a NAICS labor-organization category. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Does this include every Laborers local?

No. Numbered locals and LIUNA are separate grouped strings if filers used those spellings. The $4.2M total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS. LobbyVault does not merge local numbers into this row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS?

The rollup counts 1,927 donors and 84,102 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a membership headcount. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS money in federal elections

Filers who listed LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS on federal itemized receipts account for $4.2M ($4,157,632) on FEC.gov. The cluster holds 84,102 contributions and 1,927 donors. The string is a union-and-locals employer label as typed, not a NAICS labor-organization total and not a single local’s PAC. Mean gift size is small relative to the receipt count.

Key figures

LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS as FEC employer text totals $4.2M ($4,157,632) from 1,927 donors.
84,102 contribution lines sit under that union-and-locals string.
Numbered locals and LIUNA are separate FEC keys if stored that way.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or union PAC total.

Union-and-locals text, not a sector wage bill

1,927 unique donors produced 84,102 contributions totaling $4,157,632. About 44 itemized gifts per person and a mean gift near $49 describe the arithmetic. That is the thickest receipt file in this slice: many small itemized lines, not a handful of large checks. Official union treasury gifts to federal candidates follow separate rules; these rows are contributor disclosures that listed LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS as employer.

Top employer matches LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS. Laborers, LIUNA, and numbered local strings can exist as other keys. They are not inside $4,157,632 unless they grouped to this exact label. LobbyVault does not recode local numbers into this affiliated-locals phrase.

1,927 donors and 84,102 lines

84,102 lines from 1,927 people is a payroll-deduction-style pattern on the packet arithmetic, not a certified dues file. Mean per donor is about $2,158. The packet does not publish a local-by-local split or a cycle-year cut. Repeat small gifts raise the contribution count without raising unique donors at the same pace.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $4,157,632 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Numbered locals stay on other pages

A numbered local, LIUNA, and LABORERS are separate employer-name keys if filers used those spellings. Combining them with LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS would invent a union recode. This page reports $4,157,632 for this affiliated-locals string only.

Occupation pages show titles stored beside the union phrase. LABORER and UNION MEMBER exist as title keys when donors put the function in the employer box instead of LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS.

Donor table without local inference

The LDC AND AFFILIATED LOCALS donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution; most lines in a 84,102-receipt file will be smaller. LobbyVault does not attach a job site, a local number, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a membership roster.

Follow committees on the table for party and office. This guide does not assign a partisan percentage to the union string. Coverage is itemized federal individual receipts only.
