Contractor political contributions from Bethesda, MD

How Contractor meets Bethesda, MD

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Bethesda, MD, stored as BETHESDA. The other is occupation or industry grouping Contractor (stored as CONTRACTOR). $10,000 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $157,728,166 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 416,217 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 1 donor, not a census of everyone in Bethesda, MD 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 Bethesda, MD city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Contractor industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Maryland 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.

1 contribution from 1 donor produced $10,000. One receipt from one donor is a single-line occupation join. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $10,000; per donor, about $10,000. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the Bethesda, MD city book holds

Bethesda, MD indexes $157,728,166 ($157.7 million rounded) on 416,217 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. Chevy Chase and Silver Spring are other city strings. BETHESDA is the stored place on these receipts. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list BETHESDA 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 416,217.

Maryland campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Bethesda, MD. Do not treat $157,728,166 as the MD state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $157,728,166. State-office campaigns in Maryland file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Contractor slice inside Bethesda, MD

Inside Bethesda, MD, receipts tagged Contractor total $10,000 on 1 lines from 1 donor. That is under 0.1% of $157,728,166. About $10,000 per receipt is $10,000 divided by 1. About $10,000 per harvested donor is $10,000 divided by 1. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

CONTRACTOR is a generic occupation label, not a named construction firm. Named GC letterheads are other keys. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Contractor that did not match this key never enter $10,000. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Bethesda, MD.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of Bethesda, MD neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Contractor 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 Contractor 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 $10,000 divided by $157,728,166. Rounding the city total to $157.7 million does not create a second extract. Use $157,728,166 in a table. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Contractor controls Bethesda, MD politics.

How to cite the Bethesda, MD × Contractor facts

Citation template: occupation or industry grouping Contractor, contributor city Bethesda, MD, $10,000 on 1 itemized individual contributions from 1 donor, against a city-wide $157,728,166 on 416,217 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 Bethesda, MD hub, the Contractor industry page, Maryland 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 $10,000 to $157,728,166; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the Bethesda, MD and Contractor hubs together

The Bethesda, MD hub is the unfiltered city index: $157,728,166 on 416,217 lines. The Contractor hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $10,000. Maryland campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Bethesda, MD. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $10,000 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 1 donor from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Bethesda, MD, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Contractor in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Bethesda, MD and Contractor, $10,000, 1 receipts, 1 donor.
