Ford Motor Co political contributions from Detroit, MI

Key figures

  • $14,950 from 3 donors and 11 receipts is the Ford Motor Co × Detroit, MI join.
  • $78,603,491 is the all-industry Detroit, MI book; this string is under 0.1% of that book.
  • FORD MOTOR CO is an exact filer-entered label, not a sector roll-up.
  • Means near $1,359 per receipt and $4,983 per donor are arithmetic only.
  • If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.

How Ford Motor Co meets Detroit, MI on the FEC tape

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Detroit, MI. The other is employer/industry grouping Ford Motor Co (stored as FORD MOTOR CO). $14,950 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $78,603,491 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 200,432 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 3 donors, not a census of everyone in Detroit tied to a related trade.

11 contributions from 3 donors produced $14,950. Repeat gifts add receipts; 3 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of everyone in Detroit tied to that label. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,359; per donor, about $4,983. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

Do not add $14,950 to $78,603,491; the first number is already inside the second when both come from the same tape. Quote the join with both nouns so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.

The Detroit side of the Ford Motor Co join

Detroit, MI's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $78.6 million ($78,603,491) across 200,432 contributions. $14,950 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Detroit receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Detroit unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists FORD MOTOR CO only.

Use the live Detroit, MI hub when you need the city table without the Ford Motor Co filter. This prose is a packet snapshot of the join, not a replacement for that hub. If the live city total moved after a later ingest, FEC.gov and the hub control.

The Ford Motor Co string outside a city restatement

Company-style employer strings on FEC reports are typed by the filer. FORD MOTOR CO is kept as stored, including punctuation. LobbyVault does not recode it into a standardized occupation list or a corporate family tree. $14,950 follows that exact-match rule in Detroit, MI only.

Do not upgrade 3 donors into a company-town finding or a professional-board roster. The packet harvested a headcount for this string in this city. It did not harvest employment totals, license counts, or unique national donor IDs for Ford Motor Co.

What $14,950 omits

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $14,950. Michigan state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. City labels and industry labels are both filer-entered; LobbyVault does not recode DETROIT into a Census place or FORD MOTOR CO into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

PAC independent-expenditure totals are not in this packet. Candidate disbursements are not in this packet. Do not infer either from $14,950. The file under discussion is itemized individual contributions with a city field and an employer/industry field.

Using the Detroit and Ford Motor Co hubs without mixing statutes

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Ford Motor Co, contributor city Detroit, MI, $14,950 on 11 itemized individual contributions from 3 donors, against a city-wide $78,603,491 on 200,432 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars).

Then send the reader to the live Detroit, MI hub, the Ford Motor Co industry page, Michigan campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. If you need names, open the live hubs rather than reverse-engineering 3 donors from this snapshot.

How to cite Ford Motor Co in Detroit, MI

This file stays on one city and one employer string: Detroit and Ford Motor Co, $14,950, 11 receipts, 3 donors. Adjacent city spellings, including punctuation variants of DETROIT, are other keys if filers stored them that way. The join does not merge those keys.

Keep the contribution label on the join dollars. FEC. The city parent remains a larger table than the labeled slice. Researchers should quote itemized individual contributions, not outlays, and should not convert the donor headcount into a labor-market statistic. FEC.gov remains the originating system for every figure on this page. City labels are filer-entered.

FORD MOTOR CO in Detroit is not a count of every auto-related job in the city and not a statement about any named plant. Three donors and eleven receipts produced $14,950. Readers who need the unfiltered Detroit table should open the city hub; readers who need the employer string without a Michigan city filter should open the industry hub. Michigan campaign finance and All FEC ties sit beside those two doors. Keep both nouns on $14,950.
