  • City book $19,385,297 on 75640 contributions; join share 0.05%.

Reading $10,000 as a matched pair of strings

Where INVESTMENTS meets ASHEVILLE, FEC itemized individual contributions sum to $10,000. File size is 1 receipt. Harvested donors: 1. The parent city set is $19,385,297 / 75640 contributions. 0.05% names the industry slice of the city dollars.

Do not treat 0.05% as a sector's weight in Asheville unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists INVESTMENTS only. A single harvested donor produced the 1 receipt. Repeat gifts can make receipts exceed donors — here 1 receipt and 1 donor.

Asheville is stored as ASHEVILLE in North Carolina; Raleigh, Charlotte, and nearby mountain towns are other keys. INVESTMENTS is a short stored grouping, not a NAICS securities sector and not every investor or investment-firm name. Dollar figures are FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates, not state-office filings.

The Asheville side of the Investments join

Asheville, NC's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $19,385,297 across 75640 contributions. $10,000 is 0.05% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Asheville receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat 0.05% as the sector's weight in Asheville unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists INVESTMENTS only.

Asheville is stored as ASHEVILLE in North Carolina; Raleigh, Charlotte, and nearby mountain towns are other keys. North Carolina campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $10,000 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $10,000 into spending by Asheville candidates.

Investments is not a sector roll-up

INVESTMENTS is not a roll-up of similar employers. It is one key. $10,000 therefore understates a sector if other strings describe the same trade, and it overstates a firm if unrelated filers typed the same words. This page does not resolve that. It reports the key.

1 receipt from 1 donor in Asheville, NC remain the join. $10,000 per receipt and $10,000 per donor remain arithmetic. INVESTMENTS is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title.

Correlation is not causation

Public records, not accusations: $10,000 does not allege coordination or local capture. A single harvested donor is a disclosure headcount. 0.05% of $19,385,297 is a table share. Neither is public opinion in Asheville.

How to cite the pair

Citation template: employer/industry grouping INVESTMENTS, contributor city Asheville, NC, $10,000 on 1 itemized individual contributions from 1 donors, against a city-wide $19,385,297 on 75640 contributions (0.05% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Asheville, NC hub, the Investments industry page, North Carolina campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control.

File-structure reading: receipts (1) count itemized lines; donors (1) count harvested unique donors in this extract; city contributions (75640) count every itemized line that stored ASHEVILLE. Mixing those denominators produces a false typical gift. Use $10,000 only with the receipt denominator and $10,000 only with the donor denominator. A single harvested donor is still not a named roster. Asheville is stored as ASHEVILLE in North Carolina; Raleigh, Charlotte, and nearby mountain towns are other keys. North Carolina campaign finance mixes other cities; this URL does not. Independent expenditures remain another FEC file.

How to cite the Asheville × Investments facts

Citation template: occupation/employer grouping INVESTMENTS, contributor city Asheville, NC, $10,000 on 1 itemized individual contributions from 1 donors, against a city-wide $19,385,297 on 75640 contributions (0.05% of city dollars).

Then send the reader to the live Asheville, NC hub, the Investments industry page, North Carolina campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Asheville, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Investments in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string.

This snapshot freezes five numbers and two strings: $10,000, 1, 1, $19,385,297, 75640, INVESTMENTS, ASHEVILLE. Everything else a searcher might want — party, office, cycle, recipient name, donor name — is absent from the packet and therefore absent here. Occupation string on the industry side is still not NAICS. 0.05% uses city dollars as the denominator, not North Carolina dollars. $10,000 and $10,000 use $10,000 as the numerator. Keep those identities separate. If the live hubs disagree, trust FEC.gov and the newer extract, not an average of snapshot and live.
