VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES money in federal elections

A catch-all phrase, not a maritime-sector recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES is the three-word phrase as stored. The $3,779,885 total is those itemized individual gifts. It is not a named steamship line and not a NAICS deep-sea-freight category.

Named carriers, LONGSHOREMAN, and MARINER sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not recode those variants into this catch-all. The FEC field records what was typed, not a Coast Guard roster.

916 donors and 15,471 lines

916 unique donors produced 15,471 VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES contribution lines totaling $3,779,885. That is on the order of 17 itemized receipts per donor and a mean gift near $244. Mean per donor is about $4,127. 15,471 lines from 916 people is a thick receipt pattern; the packet does not publish a carrier-by-carrier split.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and committee PAC filings are outside the $3,779,885 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.

Named carriers stay on other pages

LONGSHOREMAN, MARINER, ENGINEER, and SALESMAN are separate employer-name or title keys. Combining them with VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES would mix distinct FEC fields. This page reports $3,779,885 for VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES only.

Occupation pages show MARINER, LONGSHOREMAN, and ENGINEER titles when those words filled the employer box instead of VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES.

Donor table without a vessel list

The VARIOUS SHIPPING COMPANIES donor table lists disclosed names, amounts, and recipient committees. A large gift is a public individual contribution. LobbyVault does not attach a vessel, a port, or a motive to that line. The FEC field is not a union membership file and not a carrier roster.

Repeat names are expected among 15,471 lines from 916 people. Follow committees on the table for party and office. This page does not assign a partisan percentage to the stored string.

Catch-all shipping phrase versus a named line
