Business Executive political contributions from Spartanburg, SC

How Business Executive meets Spartanburg, SC on the FEC tape

$20,000 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and contributor city SPARTANBURG with state SC. LobbyVault keeps a Spartanburg, SC city hub and a Business Executive industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Spartanburg. The industry hub is that occupation string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

Eleven contributions from 1 donor produced $20,000. Repeat gifts add receipts; 1 donor is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of every executive in Spartanburg. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,818; per donor, $20,000. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is an exact occupation string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person with a C-suite title. Other spellings, job titles, firm names, and blank employer rows are other keys. $20,000 counts only rows that stored this string in Spartanburg, SC. City labels are filer-entered.

The Spartanburg side of the Business Executive join

Spartanburg, SC's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $15,714,690 across 45,326 contributions. $20,000 is about 0.1% of that city book. A small share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Spartanburg receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat about 0.1% as the executive sector's weight in Spartanburg unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists BUSINESS EXECUTIVE only.

The stored city sits in South Carolina. Other South Carolina city strings are other keys. South Carolina campaign-finance pages include those other cities. Do not add $20,000 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $20,000 into spending by Spartanburg candidates.

The Business Executive side outside Spartanburg

The Business Executive industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a South Carolina-only table. $20,000 is the Spartanburg, SC slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is not in this join. A donor in Spartanburg who stored a different occupation string is not in this join either. This packet publishes $20,000 with 11 contributions and 1 donor.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Business Executive × Spartanburg, SC overlap. Open the live Business Executive page and the live Spartanburg, SC 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.

What the Business Executive × Spartanburg dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $20,000. South Carolina 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 SPARTANBURG into a Census place or BUSINESS EXECUTIVE 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 $20,000 as proof that business executives control Spartanburg politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $20,000 or 1 donor, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the one-donor cluster as a company-town finding.

Using Spartanburg, SC and Business Executive links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Spartanburg, SC, Business Executive, South Carolina 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 $20,000 to federal spending in South Carolina. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Spartanburg.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Business Executive and Spartanburg, SC. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $20,000 across 11 receipts from 1 donor is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $20,000 to $15,714,690; the first number is already inside the second.

Questions

How much did Business Executive donors in Spartanburg, SC give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and city SPARTANBURG total $20,000 across 11 receipts from 1 donor in this extract. That is the join, not Spartanburg, SC's all-industry book of $15,714,690. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does Business Executive in Spartanburg include every related job title?

No. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is the exact stored string. Other employer and title spellings are other keys and are omitted from $20,000. One donor and 11 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list.

What share of Spartanburg, SC itemized money is Business Executive?

$20,000 is about 0.1% of the $15,714,690 Spartanburg, SC city book (45,326 city-field contributions). A small share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade about 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Do Business Executive donations in Spartanburg fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $20,000 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Spartanburg. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
