The General Electric Co × Fairfield, CT relationship
Section 1 is the pair, not a restatement of either hub. $20,180 appears only where GENERAL ELECTRIC CO and FAIRFIELD (state CT) sit on the same Schedule A line. LobbyVault's Fairfield, CT page is every employer string in that city field. The General Electric Co page is that employer string in every city. This ties page is both keys together.
Forty-five receipts and 29 donors produced $20,180. Multiple donors can still generate repeat itemizations; 45 exceeds 29 for that reason. 29 donors is the published headcount for this extract, not a headcount of every person who ever worked at a related firm in Fairfield. Mean per receipt is about $448; mean per donor is about $696. Both are quotients of packet facts.
GENERAL ELECTRIC CO is the literal stored label. Nearby spellings, GE as two letters, subsidiary names, and job titles are other keys unless the filer typed this exact string. $20,180 does not absorb those other keys. City labels are filer-entered; FAIRFIELD is not recoded to Fairfield County as a whole in this file.
Fairfield, CT without the employer filter
Fairfield, CT shows $24,944,085 on 88,352 city-field contributions when industry is not filtered. $20,180 is under 0.1% of that city total. A small share follows from exact-string matching: most Fairfield lines carry other employer text. The packet does not publish a manufacturing-sector roll-up. Do not treat $20,180 as Fairfield's entire industrial book.
Fairfield is a Connecticut city string, distinct from Bridgeport, Westport, or other nearby labels. Connecticut campaign finance is the state parent, not an addend. Adding $20,180 to the Connecticut hub would double-count if the same tape already includes these rows. All FEC ties is the index of other joins, not a sum of this cell.
General Electric Co rows that are not Fairfield
Donors who stored GENERAL ELECTRIC CO in another city are on the industry hub and off this page. Donors in Fairfield who stored a different employer string are on the city hub and off this page. The packet's industry-side facts for the published pair are $20,180, 45 contributions, and 29 donors.
Committees, parties, and election cycles are unpublished for this overlap. If those cuts exist, they live on the live General Electric Co hub or the live Fairfield, CT hub. This prose will not invent them. Keep both nouns when quoting $20,180.
Limits of the $20,180 Fairfield cell
$20,180 excludes unitemized federal gifts, Connecticut state filings, and independent expenditures. It is not a corporate PAC total and not a plant payroll. PAC street addresses that stored FAIRFIELD and GENERAL ELECTRIC CO are treated like any other address in the city field. LobbyVault does not guess motive from 45 receipts.
Correlation is not causation. Twenty-nine donors and $20,180 do not show that General Electric Co sets Fairfield elections. If a later FEC extract revises $20,180, 45 receipts, or 29 donors, the newer extract controls. This page is a snapshot of the join, not a second disclosure regime.
Doors out of the Fairfield × General Electric Co join
Use Fairfield, CT, General Electric Co, Connecticut campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Those four hrefs are the packet's internal links. FEC Schedule A is not USAspending. Do not fold $20,180 into federal awards coded to Connecticut. Different statutes, different forms.
Cite the pair: General Electric Co and Fairfield, CT. $20,180 is already inside $24,944,085. Adding the join to the city book would double-count. 88,352 is the city-field line count, not the donor count for this employer string. The join's donor count is 29.
