J B Gottstein & Co political contributions from Anchorage, AK

How J B Gottstein & Co meets Anchorage, AK on the FEC tape

$18,700 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping J B GOTTSTEIN & CO and contributor city ANCHORAGE with state AK. LobbyVault keeps an Anchorage, AK city hub and a J B Gottstein & Co industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Anchorage. The industry hub is that employer string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

Twenty-four contributions from 6 donors produced $18,700. Repeat gifts add receipts; 6 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of everyone in Anchorage tied to that label. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $779; per donor, about $3,117. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

J B GOTTSTEIN & CO is an exact employer string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every grocer or wholesaler in Anchorage. Other spellings, parent-company names, job titles, and blank employer rows are other keys. $18,700 counts only rows that stored this string in Anchorage, AK. City labels are filer-entered.

The Anchorage side of the J B Gottstein & Co join

Anchorage, AK's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $68,822,517 across 275,566 contributions. $18,700 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Anchorage receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Anchorage unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists J B GOTTSTEIN & CO only.

The stored city sits in Alaska. Other Alaska city strings are other keys. Alaska campaign-finance pages include those other cities. Do not add $18,700 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 $18,700 into spending by Anchorage candidates.

The J B Gottstein & Co side outside Anchorage

The J B Gottstein & Co industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not an Alaska-only table. $18,700 is the Anchorage, AK slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored J B GOTTSTEIN & CO is not in this join. A donor in Anchorage who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes $18,700 with 24 contributions and 6 donors.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the J B Gottstein & Co × Anchorage, AK overlap. Open the live J B Gottstein & Co page and the live Anchorage, AK page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.

What the J B Gottstein & Co × Anchorage dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $18,700. Alaska 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 ANCHORAGE into a Census place or J B GOTTSTEIN & CO into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $18,700 as proof that J B Gottstein & Co controls Anchorage politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $18,700 or 6 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system.

Using Anchorage, AK and J B Gottstein & Co links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Anchorage, AK, J B Gottstein & Co, Alaska campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $18,700 to federal spending in Alaska. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Anchorage.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: J B Gottstein & Co and Anchorage, AK. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $18,700 across 24 receipts from 6 donors is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $18,700 to $68,822,517; the first number is already inside the second.

Questions

How much did J B Gottstein & Co donors in Anchorage, AK give?

Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry J B GOTTSTEIN & CO and city ANCHORAGE total $18,700 across 24 receipts from 6 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Anchorage, AK's all-industry book of $68,822,517. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.

Does J B Gottstein & Co in Anchorage include every related company spelling?

No. J B GOTTSTEIN & CO is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $18,700. Six donors and 24 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized company list.

What share of Anchorage, AK itemized money is J B Gottstein & Co?

$18,700 is under 0.1% of the $68,822,517 Anchorage, AK city book (275,566 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.

Do J B Gottstein & Co donations in Anchorage fund federal spending there?

No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $18,700 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Anchorage. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
