Attorney political contributions from Philadelphia, PA

How Attorney meets Philadelphia, PA on the FEC tape

$28,412 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping ATTORNEY and contributor city PHILADELPHIA with state PA. LobbyVault keeps a Philadelphia, PA city hub and an Attorney industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in PHILADELPHIA. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

55 contributions from 43 donors produced $28,412. Repeat gifts add receipts; 43 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Attorney workers in Philadelphia, PA. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $517; per donor, about $661. 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. $28,412 counts only rows that stored this string in Philadelphia, PA.

The Philadelphia, PA side of the Attorney join

Philadelphia, PA’s all-industry itemized book in this extract is $322,266,398 across 832,561 contributions. $28,412 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most PHILADELPHIA receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as “the legal sector’s weight in Philadelphia, PA” unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists ATTORNEY only. The leftover $322,237,986 on the city tape used other industry strings or other employer text.

The stored city sits in Pennsylvania. Neighboring places are not absorbed into PHILADELPHIA. Pennsylvania campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $28,412 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 $28,412 into spending by Philadelphia, PA candidates.

The Attorney side outside Philadelphia, PA

The Attorney industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Pennsylvania-only table. $28,412 is the Philadelphia, PA slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored ATTORNEY is not in this join. A donor in PHILADELPHIA who stored a different employer string is not in this join either.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Attorney × Philadelphia, PA overlap. Open the live Attorney page and the live Philadelphia, PA page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $28,412, 55 receipts, 43 donors, and the $322,266,398 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 × Philadelphia, PA dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $28,412. Pennsylvania 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 PHILADELPHIA 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 $28,412 as proof that Attorney “controls” Philadelphia, PA politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $28,412 or 43 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Contribution lines can cluster in a few ZIPs or spread across many. This packet does not list those ZIPs. Open the city hub rather than guessing a postal split from the city string alone. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards; this packet has no obligation dollars.

Using Philadelphia, PA and Attorney links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Philadelphia, PA, Attorney, Pennsylvania 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 $28,412 to federal spending in Pennsylvania.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Attorney and Philadelphia, PA. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $28,412 across 55 receipts from 43 donors is the only overlap this extract published. 55 itemized lines averaging about $517 ($28,412 ÷ 55) describe volume in this cell, not a unique-donor census beyond the 43 headcount already stated.

Questions

How much did Attorney donors in Philadelphia, PA give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry ATTORNEY and city PHILADELPHIA total $28,412 across 55 receipts from 43 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Philadelphia, PA’s all-industry book of $322,266,398. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does Attorney in Philadelphia, PA include every related job title?

No. ATTORNEY is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $28,412. 43 donors and 55 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list.

What share of Philadelphia, PA itemized money is Attorney?

$28,412 is under 0.1% of the $322,266,398 Philadelphia, PA city book (832,561 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 Philadelphia, PA figures from FEC.gov?

Yes. The numbers are FEC.gov itemized contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault: $28,412, 55 receipts, 43 donors for the join, and $322,266,398 for the city string. If a later extract disagrees with this snapshot, the Commission’s filing controls.
