How much have CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES-listed donors given federally?

LobbyVault attributes $4,116,084 to the CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES employer string, from 11,008 contributions and 222 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not the firm’s PAC and not a NAICS public-relations total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

Is this the same as LDA lobbying totals?

No. LDA filings are a different disclosure system. The $4.1M total is FEC itemized individual receipts whose employer text grouped to CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES. LobbyVault does not import LDA client billings into this row. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Cite FEC.gov via LobbyVault.

Does this include people who typed only LOBBYIST?

No. LOBBYIST is a separate title string. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES. Staff who typed GOVERNMENT RELATIONS without the firm sit in that title row instead. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.

How many unique donors listed CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES?

The rollup counts 222 donors and 11,008 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not an employee headcount from the firm. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.

Key figures

CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES as FEC employer text totals $4.1M ($4,116,084) from 222 donors.
11,008 contribution lines sit under that ampersand firm string.
LOBBYIST as a title is a separate FEC key.
The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or LDA total.

Ampersand firm name, not a lobbying-disclosure recode

LobbyVault ranks grouped employer text. CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES is the ampersand spelling as committees stored it. The $4,116,084 total is those itemized gifts. It is not LDA registration dollars, not a client-billings total, and not a NAICS public-relations category.

People who typed CASSIDY AND ASSOCIATES without the ampersand, CASSIDY ASSOCIATES, or LOBBYIST without the firm sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not collapse those spellings into this key. Researchers who want a combined Cassidy family must recode after export.

222 donors and a dense receipt file

222 unique donors produced 11,008 CASSIDY & ASSOCIATES contribution lines totaling $4,116,084. That is on the order of 50 itemized receipts per donor—among the densest firm patterns in this slice—and a mean gift near $374. Mean per donor is about $18,541.

Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and the firm’s committee PAC filings are outside the $4,116,084 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
