Auto Dealer contributions received by NADA PAC

Auto Dealer meeting NADA PAC

Auto Dealer is the grouped employer or occupation key. NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE is committee C00040998. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to AUTO DEALER and whose recipient is that committee. The $384,875 figure is the intersection.

2,929 contributions averaging about $131 ($384,875 ÷ 2,929) describe this cell. The packet does not name the 2,929 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census. Auto Dealer × NADA PAC is an industry-to-committee join, not a donor roster.

The join exists so the industry hub ($7,708,506) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00040998 is the FEC committee ID on this URL. Independent expenditures stay outside $384,875. AUTO DEALER is a trade occupation/employer string, not a dealer-franchise census.

AUTO DEALER as stored FEC employer text

AUTO DEALER is filer-entered text. A trade occupation/employer string, not a dealer-franchise census. Neighboring spellings can sit on other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $7,708,506.

Occupation strings without this employer key sit on occupation hubs. This URL is Auto Dealer × NADA PAC, an industry-to-committee join, not an industry-to-cycle cell. Open the Auto Dealer industry hub for the $7,708,506 employer total and other committees. The 5.0% ratio is $384,875 divided by $7,708,506. Other committee joins for AUTO DEALER are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $7,323,631. Citing NADA PAC as if it were the Auto Dealer lifetime total would overstate this cell by $7,323,631.

NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00040998)

C00040998 is disclosed as NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE. This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $384,875 is Auto Dealer-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to NADA PAC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 2,929-line filter.

2,929 lines at about $131 each describe the cell arithmetic. That mean is $384,875 divided by 2,929. It is not a typical gift, not a limit, and not a payroll calendar. It does not identify who directed the gifts or whether Auto Dealer as an entity participated. A mean of $131 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 2,929 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.

5.0% of the Auto Dealer grouping

About 5.0% of $7,708,506 is $384,875 to NADA PAC. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Auto Dealer as an entity directed the gifts. High overlap with one committee is a reporting pattern, not a finding that the labeled entity allocated political money.

The leftover $7,323,631 (95.0% of $7,708,506) went to other committees under the same Auto Dealer grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Auto Dealer industry hub holds that remainder. The NATIONAL AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to AUTO DEALER. Auto Dealer as a trade occupation/employer string, not a dealer-franchise census can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $384,875. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $384,875. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a committee name does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a trade occupation/employer string, not a dealer-franchise census, not NADA membership dues, a manufacturer allotment, or Auto Dealer as a corporate treasury.

Correlation between an employer string and a committee is not causation. The records show a text match, a recipient ID, and 2,929 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Quote both keys: Auto Dealer and NADA PAC. Quote the dollars: $384,875. Quote the volume: 2,929 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

Citing Auto Dealer and NADA PAC together

Start with $384,875, then Auto Dealer and NADA PAC, then the industry hub or the committee hub if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: AUTO DEALER, C00040998, $384,875, 2,929 contributions, 5.0% of $7,708,506, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 5.0% share and the $131 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $384,875. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00040998.
