Businessman political contributions from Chicago, IL

Reading $19,300 as a matched pair of strings

Where BUSINESSMAN meets CHICAGO, FEC itemized individual contributions sum to $19,300. File size is 37 receipts. Harvested donors: 15. The parent city set is $1,009,249,407 / 1612148 contributions. under 0.1% names the industry slice of the city dollars.

Do not treat under 0.1% as a sector's weight in Chicago unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists BUSINESSMAN only. 15 harvested donors — a broader stored-label cluster produced the 37 receipts. Repeat gifts can make receipts exceed donors — here 37 receipts and 15 donors.

Chicago is stored as CHICAGO in Illinois; Winnetka, Evanston, and other suburb strings are other keys. BUSINESSMAN is a stored occupation string, not a NAICS sector and not every business-owner or executive spelling. Dollar figures are FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates, not state-office filings.

The Chicago side of the Businessman join

Chicago, IL's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $1,009,249,407 across 1612148 contributions. $19,300 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Chicago receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Chicago unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists BUSINESSMAN only.

Chicago is stored as CHICAGO in Illinois; Winnetka, Evanston, and other suburb strings are other keys. Illinois campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $19,300 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 $19,300 into spending by Chicago candidates.

Businessman is not a sector roll-up

BUSINESSMAN is not a roll-up of similar employers. It is one key. $19,300 therefore understates a sector if other strings describe the same trade, and it overstates a firm if unrelated filers typed the same words. This page does not resolve that. It reports the key.

37 receipts from 15 donors in Chicago, IL remain the join. $522 per receipt and $1,287 per donor remain arithmetic. BUSINESSMAN is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title.

Correlation is not causation

Public records, not accusations: $19,300 does not allege coordination or local capture. 15 harvested donors — a broader stored-label cluster is a disclosure headcount. under 0.1% of $1,009,249,407 is a table share. Neither is public opinion in Chicago.

How to cite the pair

Citation template: employer/industry grouping BUSINESSMAN, contributor city Chicago, IL, $19,300 on 37 itemized individual contributions from 15 donors, against a city-wide $1,009,249,407 on 1612148 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Chicago, IL hub, the Businessman industry page, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control.

File-structure reading: receipts (37) count itemized lines; donors (15) count harvested unique donors in this extract; city contributions (1612148) count every itemized line that stored CHICAGO. Mixing those denominators produces a false typical gift. Use $522 only with the receipt denominator and $1,287 only with the donor denominator. 15 harvested donors — a broader stored-label cluster is still not a named roster. Chicago is stored as CHICAGO in Illinois; Winnetka, Evanston, and other suburb strings are other keys. Illinois campaign finance mixes other cities; this URL does not. Independent expenditures remain another FEC file.

How to cite the Chicago × Businessman facts

Citation template: occupation/employer grouping BUSINESSMAN, contributor city Chicago, IL, $19,300 on 37 itemized individual contributions from 15 donors, against a city-wide $1,009,249,407 on 1612148 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Chicago, IL hub, the Businessman industry page, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Chicago, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Businessman in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string.

This snapshot freezes five numbers and two strings: $19,300, 37, 15, $1,009,249,407, 1612148, BUSINESSMAN, CHICAGO. Everything else a searcher might want — party, office, cycle, recipient name, donor name — is absent from the packet and therefore absent here. Occupation string on the industry side is still not NAICS. under 0.1% uses city dollars as the denominator, not Illinois dollars. $522 and $1,287 use $19,300 as the numerator. Keep those identities separate. If the live hubs disagree, trust FEC.gov and the newer extract, not an average of snapshot and live.
