How Attorney meets Topeka
This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Topeka, KS. The other is occupation or industry grouping Attorney (stored as ATTORNEY). $30,872 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $23,094,820 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 75,100 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 12 donors, not a census of everyone in Topeka who ever worked in a related trade.
LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the Topeka, KS city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Attorney industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Kansas campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.
25 contributions from 12 donors produced $30,872. Repeat gifts add receipts; 12 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Attorney workers in Topeka. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,235; per donor, about $2,573. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.
What the Topeka city book holds
Topeka indexes $23,094,820 ($23.1 million rounded) on 75,100 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $23,094,820. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Topeka can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 75,100.
Kansas campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Topeka. Do not treat $23,094,820 as the KS state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $23,094,820. State-office campaigns in Kansas file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.
The Attorney slice inside Topeka
Inside Topeka, receipts tagged Attorney total $30,872 on 25 lines from 12 donors. That is 0.13% of $23,094,820. About $1,235 per receipt is $30,872 divided by 25. About $2,573 per harvested donor is $30,872 divided by 12. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.
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. $30,872 counts only rows that stored this string in Topeka, KS.
Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Attorney that did not match this key never enter $30,872. Repeat gifts that did match add to 25 without necessarily adding to 12. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Topeka.
What this join is not
It is not a ranking of Topeka neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Attorney money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.
It is not Attorney nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing.
0.13% is $30,872 divided by $23,094,820. Rounding the city total to $23.1 million does not create a second extract. Use $23,094,820 in a table. Use $23.1 million only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Attorney “controls” Topeka politics.
How to cite the Topeka × Attorney facts
Citation template: occupation or industry grouping Attorney, contributor city Topeka, KS, $30,872 on 25 itemized individual contributions from 12 donors, against a city-wide $23,094,820 on 75,100 contributions (0.13% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.
Then send the reader to the live Topeka, KS hub, the Attorney industry page, Kansas campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $30,872 to $23,094,820; the first number is already inside the second.
Using the Topeka and Attorney hubs together
The Topeka, KS hub is the unfiltered city index: $23,094,820 on 75,100 lines. The Attorney hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $30,872. Kansas campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Topeka. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $30,872 into a federal award.
If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 12 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Topeka, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Attorney in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Topeka and Attorney, $30,872, 25 receipts, 12 donors.
