Limits of the Wichita, KS and Garvey Inc pair

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 Garvey Inc 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 $10,500 divided by $115,332,696. Rounding the city total to $115.3 million does not create a second extract. Use $115,332,696 in a table. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Garvey Inc controls Wichita, KS politics.
