Air Force contributions received by Sean Eldridge for Congress

A service-branch string meeting a House campaign

Air Force is the grouped employer or occupation key. SEAN ELDRIDGE FOR CONGRESS is committee C00541227. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to AIR FORCE and whose recipient is that committee. The $4,255,000 figure is the intersection.

246 contributions averaging about $17,297 ($4,255,000 ÷ 246) describe a service-branch string meeting a House campaign at a high mean on 246 lines. Two hundred forty-six lines averaging about $17,297 are a high mean under a service-branch word that many people could have typed. The packet does not identify rank, duty status, or whether the filers were airmen. LobbyVault does not infer Hatch Act questions from the string.

The join exists so the industry hub ($5,586,340) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00541227 is the FEC committee ID on this URL.

AIR FORCE as stored FEC text

AIR FORCE is filer-entered text. USAF, DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE, and a contractor legal name can sit in other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $5,586,340.

The Air Force 2014 cycle page elsewhere in the portfolio is industry × year, not this industry × committee type. Do not treat those two AIR FORCE joins as the same cell. RETIRED is a different key unless a receipt grouped here.

Seventy-six percent of the AIR FORCE grouping

About 76.2% of $5,586,340 is $4,255,000 to Sean Eldridge for Congress. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Air Force as an entity directed the gifts. A 76.2% share of the $5,586,340 AIR FORCE book sitting in one House campaign is concentration in the table, not a finding that the service directed political money.

The leftover $1,331,340 (23.8% of $5,586,340) went to other committees under the same Air Force grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Air Force industry hub holds that remainder. The SEAN ELDRIDGE FOR CONGRESS page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to AIR FORCE.

A branch word is not a Pentagon award ledger

USAspending obligations tagged to the Department of the Air Force are a different dataset. This join does not claim that $4,255,000 in itemized gifts funded federal work, or that federal work funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail.

Cite $4,255,000, 246 contributions, $5,586,340, and C00541227. Keep both sides named: Air Force as grouped text, SEAN ELDRIDGE FOR CONGRESS as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear.

United States Senate × Feinstein in this slice is another chamber-or-service-style employer string meeting a campaign, with a different mean and committee. Do not stack those cells.
