Consultant political contributions from Washington, DC

How Consultant meets Washington

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Washington, DC. The other is occupation or industry grouping Consultant (stored as CONSULTANT). $31,762 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $3,742,866,190 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 2,458,173 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 40 donors, not a census of everyone in Washington 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 Washington, DC city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Consultant industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, District of Columbia 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.

58 contributions from 40 donors produced $31,762. Repeat gifts add receipts; 40 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Consultant workers in Washington. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $548; per donor, about $794. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the Washington city book holds

Washington indexes $3,742,866,190 ($3.7 billion rounded) on 2,458,173 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $3,742,866,190. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Washington 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 2,458,173.

District of Columbia campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Washington. Do not treat $3,742,866,190 as the DC state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $3,742,866,190. State-office campaigns in District of Columbia file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates. Washington, DC is a large FEC city string; $3,742,866,190 is the all-industry book for that stored city, not a federal-budget figure and not a ranking of neighborhoods inside the District.

The Consultant slice inside Washington

Inside Washington, receipts tagged Consultant total $31,762 on 58 lines from 40 donors. That is under 0.1% of $3,742,866,190. About $548 per receipt is $31,762 divided by 58. About $794 per harvested donor is $31,762 divided by 40. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Consultant is an exact employer/occupation string, not a sector roll-up. Nearby spellings, firm names, and blank employer rows are other keys. $31,762 counts only rows that stored CONSULTANT with contributor city WASHINGTON.

Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Consultant that did not match this key never enter $31,762. Repeat gifts that did match add to 58 without necessarily adding to 40. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Washington.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of Washington neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Consultant 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 Consultant 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.

under 0.1% is $31,762 divided by $3,742,866,190. Rounding the city total to $3.7 billion does not create a second extract. Use $3,742,866,190 in a table. Use $3.7 billion only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Consultant “controls” Washington politics.

How to cite the Washington × Consultant facts

Citation template: occupation or industry grouping Consultant, contributor city Washington, DC, $31,762 on 58 itemized individual contributions from 40 donors, against a city-wide $3,742,866,190 on 2,458,173 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 Washington, DC hub, the Consultant industry page, District of Columbia 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 $31,762 to $3,742,866,190; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the Washington and Consultant hubs together

The Washington, DC hub is the unfiltered city index: $3,742,866,190 on 2,458,173 lines. The Consultant hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $31,762. District of Columbia campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Washington. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $31,762 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 40 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Washington, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Consultant in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Washington and Consultant, $31,762, 58 receipts, 40 donors.
