Dow Chemical political contributions from Midland, MI

Receipts, donors, and $11,650

Shape first: 17 itemized receipts, 11 harvested donors, $11,650 dollars, all carrying contributor city Midland, MI and employer/industry grouping DOW CHEMICAL. Seventeen receipts from eleven donors is a modest cluster: six extra lines are repeats or additional itemizations, not six extra people. About $685 per receipt and about $1,059 per donor are packet quotients, not typical gifts.

The city backdrop is $20,836,630 on 61,559 lines. $11,650 is under 0.1% of that book ($21 million rounded). FEC.gov is the source. Labels are filer-entered.

Why DOW CHEMICAL is a narrow key

DOW CHEMICAL is the stored employer grouping, not NAICS 325 and not every Dow, DowDuPont, or contractor spelling. Those other strings never enter $11,650. Midland, MI is the city key on the same rows.

Because the key is exact, a thin share of Midland dollars is the expected result, not a finding that the related trade is absent. Other employer strings dominate 61,559 city-field lines. Midland is a filer-entered Michigan city. Other MI cities that happen to host related facilities are other keys. Michigan campaign finance is statewide; $20,836,630 is Midland only.

Use Midland, MI when you need every industry in Midland. Use Dow Chemical when you need this string in every city. Use this ties page when both filters must stay on. Michigan campaign finance and All FEC ties complete the set of four links.

Midland geography as filed

City is a typed field. LobbyVault does not snap MIDLAND to a Census place, MSA, or commuting zone. A suburb that typed a different city never enters $20,836,630. PAC addresses that typed Midland can enter it.

Michigan state-office filings are a different statute. Unitemized federal gifts never appear with a published city in this roll-up. Neither stream enters $11,650.

Not a federal-award trail

Do not treat $11,650 as USAspending in Midland. Campaign itemizations and federal awards share geography names and little else. This packet publishes no obligation dollars. Mixing the two creates a sentence this extract does not support.

Do not rank Midland against other cities from this file alone. Do not rank Dow Chemical as a winner inside Midland from under 0.1%. Correlation is not causation. Motive is unpublished.

Citation and live tables

Cite FEC.gov: grouping DOW CHEMICAL, city Midland, MI, $11,650 on 17 receipts from 11 donors; city book $20,836,630 on 61,559 contributions. Keep both nouns. Employer strings are not NAICS.

Live doors: Midland, MI, Dow Chemical, Michigan campaign finance, All FEC ties. If the overlay disagrees with this snapshot, the newer extract controls. Cycle cuts are other joins. Do not add $11,650 to $20,836,630.

What stays unpublished

This packet does not name the 11 donors, the recipient committees, the party split, or the election cycle. Those fields, if needed, live on the hubs or on FEC.gov itemizations — not as invented integers here.

Nationwide Dow Chemical dollars are unpublished in this packet. Guessing them from $11,650 is not a method. Keep the join labeled as a join. Keep the nouns attached: 17 is receipts, 11 is harvested donors, $11,650 is the join, and $20,836,630 is the Midland city book on 61,559 lines. Swapping those nouns is a citation error. About $685 per receipt and about $1,059 per donor remain packet quotients, not medians and not salaries. DOW CHEMICAL is still not a NAICS code. Midland, MI is still a filer-entered city string. FEC.gov remains the originating system for every integer on this page. Researchers who need the unfiltered Midland tape should open Midland, MI rather than inflating $11,650 into $20,836,630. Researchers who need DOW CHEMICAL in every city should open Dow Chemical rather than guessing a nationwide total from this slice. Michigan campaign finance answers Michigan, a larger geography than Midland. All FEC ties lists sibling joins. None of those four destinations converts $11,650 into a USAspending obligation. Unitemized federal gifts and Michigan state-office filings remain outside both the join and the city book as built here.

Is $11,650 the full Midland political-money total?

No. Midland indexes $20,836,630 across 61,559 itemized contributions. $11,650 is only the Dow Chemical employer/occupation slice inside that city. Other strings, unitemized gifts, and state-office filings sit outside the join. Filings remain on FEC.gov.

Does Dow Chemical money in Midland fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $11,650 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Midland. Different statutes, different forms.
