Blount Inc political contributions from Montgomery, AL

How Blount Inc meets Montgomery, AL on the FEC tape

$13,250 is the intersection of two filer-entered fields: employer/industry grouping BLOUNT INC and contributor city MONTGOMERY with state AL. LobbyVault keeps a Montgomery, AL city hub and a Blount Inc industry hub. Neither hub is this page. The city hub is every industry string in Montgomery, AL. The industry hub is BLOUNT INC in every city. This file answers only both filters at once.

9 contributions from 8 donors produced $13,250. Eight donors on nine receipts is a nearly one-to-one gift pattern: almost every harvested donor appears once in this extract. Repeat gifts add receipts without always adding heads. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,472; per harvested donor, about $1,656. Those means are division of packet facts, not salaries, not medians, and not typical household gifts.

BLOUNT INC is a stored employer name on Schedule A, not a NAICS code and not a statewide manufacturing sector. $13,250 counts only rows that stored this exact string in Montgomery, AL. Other spellings, job titles, parent names, and blank employer rows are other keys. Do not invent donor names; this extract publishes a count, not a roster.

The Montgomery, AL side of the Blount Inc join

Montgomery, AL’s all-industry itemized book in this extract is $39,640,509 ($39.6 million) across 106,362 contributions. $13,250 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Montgomery, AL receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as a sector’s weight in Montgomery, AL unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists BLOUNT INC only.

Montgomery is Alabama’s capital; the stored city string is MONTGOMERY, not a county roll-up and not every suburb on the Alabama River. Alabama campaign finance covers a larger geography than this city string. Do not add $13,250 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists sibling city-industry pages. None of them converts $13,250 into spending by Montgomery, AL candidates.

The Blount Inc side outside Montgomery, AL

The Blount Inc industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Alabama-only table. $13,250 is the Montgomery, AL slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored BLOUNT INC is not in this join. A donor in Montgomery, AL who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes the industry-side dollars for the grouping inside this city as $13,250 with 9 contributions and 8 donors.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Blount Inc × Montgomery, AL overlap. Open the live Blount Inc page and the live Montgomery, AL page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side. $13,250 across 9 receipts from 8 donors is the only overlap this extract published.

What the Blount Inc × Montgomery, AL dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $13,250. Alabama 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 MONTGOMERY into a Census place or BLOUNT INC 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 $13,250 as proof that Blount Inc controls Montgomery, AL politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $13,250 or 8 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Using Montgomery, AL and Blount Inc links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Montgomery, AL, Blount Inc, Alabama 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 $13,250 to federal spending in Alabama. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Montgomery, AL.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Blount Inc and Montgomery, AL. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. Do not add $13,250 to $39,640,509; the first number is already inside the second.

Then send the reader to the live Montgomery, AL hub, the Blount Inc industry page, Alabama campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. City-cycle joins and industry-cycle joins are other files. This file stays on one city and one employer string.

Questions

How much did Blount Inc donors in Montgomery, AL give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry BLOUNT INC and city MONTGOMERY total $13,250 across 9 receipts from 8 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Montgomery, AL’s all-industry book of $39.6 million. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does Blount Inc in Montgomery, AL include every related job title?

No. BLOUNT INC is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $13,250. 8 donors and 9 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list or to NAICS.

What share of Montgomery, AL itemized money is Blount Inc?

$13,250 is under 0.1% of the $39.6 million Montgomery, AL city book (106,362 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that the grouping is absent. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Do Blount Inc donations in Montgomery, AL fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $13,250 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Montgomery, AL. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
