Consulting political contributions from District of Columbia

The Consulting–District of Columbia intersection

Occupation CONSULTING and donor state DC produce $635,214, 1,080 contributions, and 49 donors. The occupation hub is $6,916,859, 22,017 contributions, and 1,301 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 9.2%; contribution share about 4.9% (1,080 of 22,017); donor share about 3.8% (49 of 1,301). Forty-nine D.C. donors sit inside 1,301 national CONSULTING donors. Dollars ($635,214 of $6,916,859) run ahead of donor share on this 1,080-row cell.

CONSULTANT, MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, and GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CONSULTING with CONSULTANT or MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

49 District of Columbia donors produced 1,080 contributions, about 22.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.9 rows per donor nationally (22,017 contributions from 1,301 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this District of Columbia cell is about $588, against about $314 nationwide. A large local share of a $6.9 million occupation is still not a K Street headcount. Federal contract dollars, if any, live in USAspending, not this FEC join.

CONSULTING as a workplace label

CONSULTING is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not say whether the filer meant management consulting, political consulting, or another practice. The $6,916,859 national total is CONSULTING only. 1,301 donors produced 22,017 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 22,017 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). Twenty-two thousand seventeen national contributions make CONSULTING a mid-volume bucket. This tie locates the District overlap.

District of Columbia as donor state

49 District of Columbia donors produced 1,080 contributions totaling $635,214. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record. Forty-nine unique donors is not a consultancy directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $635,214.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only CONSULTING. The Consulting occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 90.8% of the $6,916,859. The District’s state hub includes every occupation coded to DC. CONSULTING is only this filter.

What not to infer from Consulting plus D.C.

This page does not count GSA vendors, mix management-consultant dollars into this cell, or claim that Consulting-coded money funded federal awards. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CONSULTING is not MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT and not COMMUNICATIONS even when filers meant adjacent roles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CONSULTING is not a GSA or K Street extract. Donor state DC is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Contract obligations are a different dataset.

Three numbers, two fields, one Consulting filter

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national CONSULTING occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CONSULTING in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,281,645) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 49 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 1,080 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $635,214 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the District of Columbia dollars, or only the CONSULTING national total, drops a key. Forty-nine donors producing 1,080 contributions totaling $635,214 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

No. The hub is occupation CONSULTING and donor state DC on FEC itemized individual receipts. It is not USAspending and not a GSA schedule. Forty-nine donors are not a vendor list. The 49 District of Columbia donors used occupation CONSULTING and state DC. Filers who wrote CONSULTANT or MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Does this money go to D.C. candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is District of Columbia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $635,214 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to DC; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
