Attorney political contributions from Washington, DC

How Attorney meets Washington, DC on the FEC tape

$243,745 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping ATTORNEY and contributor city WASHINGTON with state DC. LobbyVault keeps a Washington, DC city hub and an Attorney industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Washington. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

400 contributions from 217 donors produced $243,745. Repeat gifts add receipts; 217 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Attorney workers in Washington. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $609; per donor, about $1,123. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

ATTORNEY is an exact employer/industry string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person who works in a related job. Other law-firm names, “LAWYER,” partnership titles, and blank employer rows are other keys. $243,745 counts only rows that stored this string in Washington, DC.

The Washington side of the Attorney join

Washington, DC’s all-industry itemized book in this extract is $3.7 billion across 2,458,173 contributions. $243,745 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Washington receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as “the legal sector’s weight in Washington” unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists ATTORNEY only.

The stored city is the District of Columbia. Maryland and Virginia suburbs are other state keys even when the commute is the same. District of Columbia campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $243,745 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $243,745 into spending by Washington candidates.

The Attorney side outside Washington

The Attorney industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a District of Columbia-only table. $243,745 is the Washington, DC slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored ATTORNEY is not in this join. A donor in Washington who stored a different employer string is not in this join either.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Attorney × Washington, DC overlap. Open the live Attorney page and the live Washington, DC page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $243,745, 400 receipts, 217 donors, and the $3.7 billion city book.

Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side. A later amendment wave can move a dollar without this file rewriting itself. Treat the live LobbyVault hub as newer than this packet snapshot.

What the Attorney × Washington dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $243,745. District of Columbia state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. City labels and industry labels are both filer-entered; LobbyVault does not recode WASHINGTON into a Census place or ATTORNEY into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $243,745 as proof that Attorney “controls” Washington politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $243,745 or 217 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Using Washington, DC and Attorney links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Washington, DC, Attorney, District of Columbia campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $243,745 to federal spending in District of Columbia.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Attorney and Washington, DC. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $243,745 across 400 receipts from 217 donors is the only overlap this extract published.

Questions

How much did Attorney donors in Washington, DC give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry ATTORNEY and city WASHINGTON total $243,745 across 400 receipts from 217 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Washington, DC’s all-industry book of $3.7 billion. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does Attorney in Washington include every related job title?

No. ATTORNEY is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $243,745. 217 donors and 400 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list.

What share of Washington, DC itemized money is Attorney?

$243,745 is under 0.1% of the $3.7 billion Washington, DC city book (2,458,173 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that Attorney workers are absent. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Are the Attorney Washington figures from FEC.gov?

Yes. The numbers are FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $243,745, 400 receipts, 217 donors for the join, and $3.7 billion for the city string. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
