Shape of the Charles E Smith Co × Bethesda, MD cell

$14,750 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: employer/industry grouping CHARLES E SMITH CO and contributor city BETHESDA with state MD. LobbyVault keeps a Bethesda, MD city hub and an Charles E Smith Co industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Bethesda. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

CHARLES E SMITH CO is an exact employer/industry string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector. Other spellings, job titles, parent-company names, and blank employer rows are other keys. $14,750 counts only rows that stored this string in Bethesda, MD. City labels are filer-entered.

City book, then the labeled subset

The stored city is BETHESDA in state MD. Other city strings in Maryland are other keys. Do not add $14,750 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 $14,750 into spending by Bethesda candidates.

Use the live Bethesda, MD hub when you need the city table without the Charles E Smith Co filter. This prose is a packet snapshot of the join, not a replacement for that hub. If the live city total moved after a later ingest, FEC.gov and the hub control.

Means are division, not typical gifts

Inside Bethesda, receipts tagged Charles E Smith Co total $14,750 on 22 lines from 2 donors. That is under 0.1% of $157,728,166. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Charles E Smith Co that did not match this key never enter $14,750. Repeat gifts that did match add to 22 without necessarily adding to 2.

Quote Charles E Smith Co with Bethesda, MD in the same clause. A sentence that names only Charles E Smith Co is the industry hub's job. A sentence that names only Bethesda is the city hub's job. The join is $14,750, 22 receipts, 2 donors.

Schedule A only

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $14,750. Maryland 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 BETHESDA into a Census place or CHARLES E SMITH CO into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Charles E Smith Co and Bethesda, MD. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $14,750 across 22 receipts from 2 donors is the only overlap this extract published.

Maryland pages and the ties index
