How Bechtel Power Corp meets Woodside
This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Woodside, CA. The other is employer name Bechtel Power Corp (stored as BECHTEL POWER CORP). $25,250 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $46,627,342 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 51,314 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 2 donors, not a census of everyone in Woodside 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 Woodside, CA city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Bechtel Power Corp industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, California 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.
17 contributions from 2 donors produced $25,250. Repeat gifts add receipts; 2 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Bechtel Power Corp workers in Woodside. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,485; per donor, about $12,625. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.
What the Woodside city book holds
Woodside indexes $46,627,342 ($46.6 million rounded) on 51,314 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $46,627,342. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Woodside 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 51,314.
California campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Woodside. Do not treat $46,627,342 as the CA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $46,627,342. State-office campaigns in California file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates. Woodside is a smaller California city string than San Francisco or Los Angeles. $46,627,342 is that stored label only.
The Bechtel Power Corp slice inside Woodside
Inside Woodside, receipts tagged Bechtel Power Corp total $25,250 on 17 lines from 2 donors. That is 0.05% of $46,627,342. About $1,485 per receipt is $25,250 divided by 17. About $12,625 per harvested donor is $25,250 divided by 2. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.
Bechtel Power Corp is a filer-entered employer string, not a NAICS sector and not every affiliate, predecessor name, or related partnership. Other spellings of the same organization are other keys and are omitted from $25,250. A donor in Woodside who stored a different employer never enters this join. A donor outside Woodside who stored BECHTEL POWER CORP belongs on the industry hub, not here.
Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Bechtel Power Corp that did not match this key never enter $25,250. Repeat gifts that did match add to 17 without necessarily adding to 2. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Woodside.
What this join is not
It is not a ranking of Woodside neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Bechtel Power Corp 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 Bechtel Power Corp 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.
0.05% is $25,250 divided by $46,627,342. Rounding the city total to $46.6 million does not create a second extract. Use $46,627,342 in a table. Use $46.6 million only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Bechtel Power Corp “controls” Woodside politics.
How to cite the Woodside × Bechtel Power Corp facts
Citation template: employer name Bechtel Power Corp, contributor city Woodside, CA, $25,250 on 17 itemized individual contributions from 2 donors, against a city-wide $46,627,342 on 51,314 contributions (0.05% of city dollars).

Then send the reader to the live Woodside, CA hub, the Bechtel Power Corp industry page, California 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 $25,250 to $46,627,342; the first number is already inside the second.
Using the Woodside and Bechtel Power Corp hubs together
The Woodside, CA hub is the unfiltered city index: $46,627,342 on 51,314 lines. The Bechtel Power Corp hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $25,250. California campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Woodside. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $25,250 into a federal award.
If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 2 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Woodside, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Bechtel Power Corp in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Woodside and Bechtel Power Corp, $25,250, 17 receipts, 2 donors.
