Attorney political contributions from Pittsburgh, PA

$12,250 is the overlap of occupation-style employer/industry string ATTORNEY and donor city Pittsburgh, PA: 22 itemized receipts from 20 donors. Pittsburgh, PA's unfiltered city book in this extract is $176,816,217 on 461,267 contributions. This page joins those two FEC.gov fields. It does not restate the Pittsburgh, PA hub or the Attorney industry hub. Motive is not inferred.

Key figures

  • $12,250 from 20 donors and 22 receipts is the Attorney × Pittsburgh, PA join.
  • $176,816,217 is the all-industry Pittsburgh, PA book; this string is under 0.1% of that book.
  • ATTORNEY is an exact filer-entered label, not a sector roll-up.
  • Means near $557 per receipt and $612 per donor are arithmetic only.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

What the Attorney × Pittsburgh, PA overlap is

Two stored strings produce $12,250: city PITTSBURGH (PA) and grouping ATTORNEY. 22 itemized receipts and 20 donors survive both filters. $176,816,217 is the city dimension with the industry filter removed (461,267 city-field contributions). $12,250 is under 0.1% of that city book. Receipts (22) and donors (20) differ by 2; both counts are packet facts and should be quoted together.

This is not a restatement of Pittsburgh, PA, which mixes every employer string. It is not a restatement of Attorney, which mixes every city. 22 rows exist only at the intersection. Correlation is not causation: an employer field plus a city field does not prove why someone gave or whom they supported.

What the Pittsburgh, PA city book holds

On the city side, PITTSBURGH in PA indexes $176,816,217 of itemized individual dollars on 461,267 city-field lines. The Attorney slice is $12,250 (under 0.1%). The complement inside the city book used other stored groupings and equals $176,803,967. 461,267 is a city-wide contribution count, not a unique-resident count.

Pittsburgh, PA is stored as PITTSBURGH in Pennsylvania; other Pennsylvania city strings are other keys. Keep state PA on the name so PITTSBURGH is not merged with a same-named place elsewhere. Use the live Pittsburgh, PA hub when you need the city table without the Attorney filter. If the live city total moved after a later ingest, FEC.gov and the hub control.

What ATTORNEY means on the tape

ATTORNEY is stored as a occupation-style employer/industry string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title. 20 donors and 22 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list or a company tree. Blank, abbreviated, and alternate spellings are other keys.

Mean about $557 per receipt and $612 per donor are $12,250/22 and $12,250/20. They are not typical pay and not a median gift. 20 harvested donors is the harvested headcount for this join, not employment in Pittsburgh, PA. Canonical path /ties/attorney-donors-in-pa-pittsburgh/ is the /ties/ URL for Attorney in Pittsburgh, PA.

Unitemized gifts and other FEC files

Omitted: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and non-individual sources. Omitted: every city except PITTSBURGH. Omitted: every grouping except ATTORNEY. Included: $12,250 on 22 receipts from 20 donors.

An PA address does not mean the recipient was a Pennsylvania candidate. Donor city is not recipient city. $12,250 is not allocated by office or party on this page. Those splits are not in the packet. Pennsylvania state-office filings sit outside $12,250.

20 harvested donors produced the grouping file in Pittsburgh, PA. Repeat itemizations explain why receipts (22) and donors (20) can differ. Pennsylvania pages still mix PITTSBURGH with every other PA city and mix ATTORNEY with every other grouping. This tie does not.

Questions

How much did Attorney donors in Pittsburgh, PA give?
Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry grouping ATTORNEY and city PITTSBURGH total $12,250 across 22 receipts from 20 donors in this extract.

$12,250 is under 0.1% of the $176,816,217 Pittsburgh, PA city book (461,267 city-field contributions).

Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking or a Pennsylvania share.
Do Attorney donations in Pittsburgh, PA fund federal spending there?
No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $12,250 does not become a contract or assistance award because both datasets can mention Pittsburgh, PA.
