Investor political contributions from New Orleans, LA

How Investor meets New Orleans

This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city New Orleans, LA. The other is occupation or industry grouping Investor (stored as INVESTOR). $26,000 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $96,628,564 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 234,379 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 7 donors, not a census of everyone in New Orleans who ever worked in a related trade.

LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the New Orleans, LA city hub for the unfiltered city book, the Investor industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Louisiana campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.

14 contributions from 7 donors produced $26,000. Repeat gifts add receipts; 7 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a Census of Investor workers in New Orleans. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $1,857; per donor, about $3,714. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

What the New Orleans city book holds

New Orleans indexes $96,628,564 ($96.6 million rounded) on 234,379 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $96,628,564. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list New Orleans can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 234,379.

Louisiana campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than New Orleans. Do not treat $96,628,564 as the LA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $96,628,564. State-office campaigns in Louisiana file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Investor slice inside New Orleans

Inside New Orleans, receipts tagged Investor total $26,000 on 14 lines from 7 donors. That is under 0.1% of $96,628,564. About $1,857 per receipt is $26,000 divided by 14. About $3,714 per harvested donor is $26,000 divided by 7. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

Investor is an exact employer/occupation string, not a sector roll-up. Nearby spellings, firm names, and blank employer rows are other keys. $26,000 counts only rows that stored INVESTOR with contributor city NEW ORLEANS.

Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of Investor that did not match this key never enter $26,000. Repeat gifts that did match add to 14 without necessarily adding to 7. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing New Orleans.

What this join is not

It is not a ranking of New Orleans neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that Investor money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. 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 Investor 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 $26,000 divided by $96,628,564. Rounding the city total to $96.6 million does not create a second extract. Use $96,628,564 in a table. Use $96.6 million only as a headline form of the same integer. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that Investor “controls” New Orleans politics.

How to cite the New Orleans × Investor facts

Citation template: occupation or industry grouping Investor, contributor city New Orleans, LA, $26,000 on 14 itemized individual contributions from 7 donors, against a city-wide $96,628,564 on 234,379 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live New Orleans, LA hub, the Investor industry page, Louisiana campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $26,000 to $96,628,564; the first number is already inside the second.

Using the New Orleans and Investor hubs together

The New Orleans, LA hub is the unfiltered city index: $96,628,564 on 234,379 lines. The Investor hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $26,000. Louisiana campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than New Orleans. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $26,000 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 7 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of New Orleans, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Investor in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: New Orleans and Investor, $26,000, 14 receipts, 7 donors.
