Broadcaster political contributions from Mobile, AL

How Broadcaster meets Mobile

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Mobile, AL. The other is occupation or industry grouping Broadcaster (stored as BROADCASTER). $27,500 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $33,896,317 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 84,161 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 2 donors, not a census of everyone in Mobile 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 Mobile, AL city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Broadcaster industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Alabama 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.

13 contributions from 2 donors produced $27,500. Repeat gifts add receipts; 2 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Broadcaster workers in Mobile. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $2,115; per donor, about $13,750. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the Mobile city book holds

Mobile indexes $33,896,317 ($33.9 million rounded) on 84,161 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $33,896,317. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Mobile 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 84,161.

Alabama campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Mobile. Do not treat $33,896,317 as the AL state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $33,896,317. State-office campaigns in Alabama file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Broadcaster slice inside Mobile

Inside Mobile, receipts tagged Broadcaster total $27,500 on 13 lines from 2 donors. That is 0.08% of $33,896,317. About $2,115 per receipt is $27,500 divided by 13. About $13,750 per harvested donor is $27,500 divided by 2. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Broadcaster is an exact employer/occupation string, not a sector roll-up. Nearby spellings, firm names, and blank employer rows are other keys. $27,500 counts only rows that stored BROADCASTER with contributor city MOBILE.

Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Broadcaster that did not match this key never enter $27,500. Repeat gifts that did match add to 13 without necessarily adding to 2. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Mobile.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of Mobile neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Broadcaster 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 Broadcaster 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.

0.08% is $27,500 divided by $33,896,317. Rounding the city total to $33.9 million does not create a second extract. Use $33,896,317 in a table. Use $33.9 million only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Broadcaster “controls” Mobile politics.

How to cite the Mobile × Broadcaster facts

Citation template: occupation or industry grouping Broadcaster, contributor city Mobile, AL, $27,500 on 13 itemized individual contributions from 2 donors, against a city-wide $33,896,317 on 84,161 contributions (0.08% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Mobile, AL hub, the Broadcaster 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. Do not add $27,500 to $33,896,317; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the Mobile and Broadcaster hubs together

The Mobile, AL hub is the unfiltered city index: $33,896,317 on 84,161 lines. The Broadcaster hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $27,500. Alabama campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Mobile. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $27,500 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 Mobile, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Broadcaster in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Mobile and Broadcaster, $27,500, 13 receipts, 2 donors.
