$18,000 exists only where both filters are true
Filter one: contributor city SHREVEPORT, state LA. Filter two: employer/industry grouping ATTORNEY. Result: $18,000, 14 receipts, 10 donors. City-only result: $41,792,825, 95746 contributions. Industry-side facts in this packet for the grouping are the same $18,000 / 14 / 10 published with the city filter.
If the industry hub later shows a different national total, the live hub controls; this snapshot uses the packet. Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. Mean per receipt about $1,286; mean per donor about $1,800.
ATTORNEY is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title. Blank employer rows, abbreviations, and near-matches never enter $18,000. Exact match is the method.
Keeping SHREVEPORT separate from nearby strings
Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. The city total $41,792,825 follows that stored spelling only. $18,000 follows the same spelling plus ATTORNEY. Nearby places that type a different city string never enter $41,792,825.
Louisiana, Virginia, and other state hubs are larger mixes; this page holds Shreveport only. under 0.1% of $41,792,825 is Attorney. 100.0% used other stored groupings. Donor city remains an address field, not a claim about where the recipient committee sits.
Attorney is an exact stored string
On the industry side, the packet lists $18,000, 14 receipts, and 10 donors for ATTORNEY. With the city filter, those same figures are the Shreveport intersection in this snapshot. Do not invent a larger national industry total. If you need Attorney in every city, use the industry hub, not this URL.
Occupation string labels can look like jobs or like firm names. Either way the rule is exact match. ATTORNEY in SHREVEPORT is counted. A longer label that merely contains related words is a different key unless it is exactly this string.
Filer-entered labels, exact match
Means near $1,286 per receipt and $1,800 per donor omit medians because medians are not in the packet. Unique-person counts beyond 10 are omitted for the same reason. Row counts can repeat households.

Shreveport × Attorney: dollars versus rows
Dollars and rows can move in different directions in other joins; here they are simply $18,000 and 14 for the grouping, $41,792,825 and 95746 for the city. under 0.1% uses dollars. A receipt share would use 14 and 95746 as a raw ratio of packet counts, still not unique people.
10 harvested donors produced the grouping file in Shreveport. Repeat itemizations explain why receipts (14) and donors (10) can differ. Both numbers are in the packet; both should be quoted.
File-structure reading: receipts (14) count itemized lines; donors (10) count harvested unique donors in this extract; city contributions (95746) count every itemized line that stored SHREVEPORT. Mixing those denominators produces a false typical gift. Use $1,286 only with the receipt denominator and $1,800 only with the donor denominator. 10 harvested donors is still not a named roster. Shreveport is stored as SHREVEPORT in Louisiana; Bossier City and Baton Rouge are other city keys. Louisiana campaign finance mixes other cities; this URL does not. Independent expenditures remain another FEC file.
Questions
- How much did Attorney donors in Shreveport, LA give?
- Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry grouping ATTORNEY and city SHREVEPORT total $18,000 across 14 receipts from 10 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Shreveport, LA's all-industry book of $41,792,825 on 95746 contributions. Original reports remain on FEC.gov. Labels are filer-entered.
- Does Attorney in Shreveport include every related job title?
- No. ATTORNEY is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings, parent names, and related titles are other keys and are omitted from $18,000. 10 donors and 14 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list or NAICS sector.
- What share of Shreveport, LA itemized money is Attorney?
- $18,000 is under 0.1% of the $41,792,825 Shreveport, LA city book (95746 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that the grouping is absent from Shreveport. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking or a Louisiana share.
- Do Attorney donations in Shreveport fund federal spending there?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $18,000 does not become a contract or assistance award because both datasets can mention Shreveport. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
