Clifford & Warnke political contributions from Bethesda, MD

$15,200 at the Clifford & Warnke / Bethesda intersection

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates place $15,200 at the intersection of city BETHESDA, MD and employer/industry grouping CLIFFORD & WARNKE. 15 itemized receipts and 3 donors produced that total. Bethesda's unfiltered itemized book is $157,728,166 across 416,217 contributions, so the overlap is under 0.1% of city dollars.

LobbyVault publishes the city hub, the industry hub, and this join as three different pages. Mixing them collapses the filter. A reader who wants all of Bethesda should open the city hub. A reader who wants Clifford & Warnke in every city should open the industry hub. A reader who wants both filters should stay here.

About $1,013 per receipt and about $5,067 per donor are $15,200 divided by 15 and 3. They are not typical household contributions. They are not wages. They are not medians.

Bethesda geography on the contribution tape

The city field is filer-entered as BETHESDA. Maryland is the state. $157,728,166 ($157.7 million) is the city-wide itemized sum. 416,217 is the line count, not unique donors for the whole city. Suburbs with other city strings are excluded. PAC and joint-fundraising addresses that typed Bethesda can be included.

Do not treat $157,728,166 as the Maryland total. Do not add $15,200 on top of $157,728,166. State-office filings and unitemized federal gifts remain outside both figures.

Clifford & Warnke as an exact stored string

CLIFFORD & WARNKE matches only that spelling. Clifford & Warnke is the title form of the same key. Parent companies, d/b/a lines, and occupation titles that differ by a word are omitted from $15,200. 3 donors and 15 receipts follow the exact-match rule.

Donors outside Bethesda who stored CLIFFORD & WARNKE belong on the industry page. They are not in $15,200. All FEC ties lists other cities paired with other strings so this page is not mistaken for a national roll-up.

Keep the geography ladder straight: Bethesda is one city key; Maryland is the state roll-up; the United States is not a number in this packet. $15,200 does not climb that ladder. $157,728,166 does not climb it either. Adding $15,200 to other cities to invent a metro is outside the packet. Adding $15,200 to USAspending awards in MD is outside the packet.

Cross-dataset caution

USAspending awards in Maryland are a different statute. This packet has no award dollars. Do not claim Clifford & Warnke donations funded federal spending in Bethesda. Independent expenditures are also out of scope. Party and committee fields were not harvested in this packet.

Correlation is not causation. Two labels on the same receipt do not prove influence. If hubs later show different integers, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third official file.

Donor count 3 is harvested for the join only. The packet does not publish unique donors for all of Bethesda, so 416,217 must not be called a donor census. Contribution count 15 is harvested for the join only. Repeat gifts are why 15 and 3 can differ. Mean about $1,013 per receipt and mean about $5,067 per donor stay labeled as division.

Href /cities/md-bethesda/ is Bethesda, MD. Href /industries/clifford-warnke/ is Clifford & Warnke. Href /states/MD/ is Maryland campaign finance. Href /ties/ is All FEC ties. Use every one. Do not add absolute URLs this packet did not list.

Cite Clifford & Warnke and Bethesda, MD together with $15,200, 15 receipts, and 3 donors. That is the full join this extract published.

Record-keeping note

Source note copied from the packet: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by donor city and employer/industry grouping. City labels are filer-entered. Share of city dollars: under 0.1% ($15,200 of $157,728,166). City line count: 416,217.

Cycle windows are other joins. This page stays on one city and one employer string. Do not add $15,200 to $157,728,166.

Public-record voice: no sides, no motive, no advice. FEC.gov is the filing home. LobbyVault is an index of aggregates. If a later load revises $15,200, 15, 3, $157,728,166, or 416,217, the live hub and FEC.gov control. This JSON does not freeze the Commission’s database.

Questions

What did Clifford & Warnke filers in Bethesda, MD report?

$15,200 in itemized individual contributions across 15 receipts from 3 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates indexed here. The city-wide book is $157,728,166 on 416,217 contributions. This page is the join, not either hub alone.

Does the Clifford & Warnke industry hub equal $15,200?

Only if every CLIFFORD & WARNKE row nationwide were in Bethesda, which this packet does not claim. $15,200 is the Bethesda, MD slice. The industry hub is the string without that city filter. Use both pages instead of equating them.

What does 416,217 measure on the Bethesda hub?

Itemized contribution lines storing city BETHESDA, not unique donors for the whole city. Unique-donor counts in this packet apply to the join (3), not to the city book. Do not divide $157,728,166 by 416,217 and call it a typical Bethesda gift without noting it is arithmetic only.

Can $15,200 be added to USAspending totals for Bethesda?

No. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes. This packet has no obligation dollars. $15,200 stays on the FEC side. Sharing a city label does not fund an award.
