Letter Carrier political contributions from Iowa

Letter Carrier as occupation, Iowa as the state

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation LETTER CARRIER and donor state IA. Matching rows sum to $213,007, 1,723 contributions, and 49 donors. LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. The occupation hub is $5,791,591 across 81,247 contributions and 1,844 donors. The Iowa state hub mixes every other occupation that used that state code. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet. Iowa’s Letter Carrier join uses the same national LETTER CARRIER ceiling as the Missouri page, with a different state filter and its own gift count.

Iowa’s dollar share is 3.7% ($213,007 of $5,791,591). Contribution share is 2.1% (1,723 of 81,247). Donor share is 2.7% (49 of 1,844). The remainder, $5,578,584, sits in other states on the occupation hub. Correlation between a job title and a mailing-state code is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $213,007.

The Letter Carrier string across every state on file

$5,791,591 is the occupation-side denominator from 81,247 contributions and 1,844 donors. It is not limited to Iowa. Postal Worker, Mail Carrier, USPS, and Postal Carrier are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $5,791,591 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state under LETTER CARRIER, not only Iowa. This file stays on the overlap. $5,578,584 remains on the hub as the complement of $213,007. LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. Do not fold those sibling strings into $5,791,591 and then cite the sum as this join.

49 Iowa donors and the gift math

Dividing $213,007 by 1,723 contributions yields about $124 per gift. Dividing by 49 donors yields about $4,347 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 35.2 (1,723 ÷ 49). Nationally, 81,247 contributions from 1,844 donors average about $71 per gift and 44.1 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string in Iowa, not payroll.

49 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × state aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in Iowa. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 49 figure. The Iowa hub still holds every other occupation’s IA receipts beside this cell.

What 3.7% of Letter Carrier-coded dollars is not

A 3.7% share of Letter Carrier-coded dollars from Iowa does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and donor state are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that Iowa donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $213,007 as itemized individual receipts tagged LETTER CARRIER and IA, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Letter Carrier × Iowa

A complete claim names Letter Carrier and Iowa, then $213,007, 1,723 contributions, 49 donors, and 3.7% of $5,791,591, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 49 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Letter Carrier and Iowa—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $124 and mean per donor $4,347 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Letter Carrier donations rolls every state into one LETTER CARRIER running total. Iowa campaign finance rolls every occupation into one IA total. Only the Letter Carrier × Iowa overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,723 receipts and $213,007. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-state cells.

Occupation hub, Iowa hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $5,578,584 outside Iowa. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the state, not either hub restated. Postal Worker, Mail Carrier, USPS, and Postal Carrier are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of LETTER CARRIER on this page. Gifts per donor in Iowa average about 35.2. That ratio is 1,723 divided by 49, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation LETTER CARRIER, donor state Iowa (IA), $213,007 in itemized individual contributions, 1,723 receipts, and 49 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $124 per line and $4,347 per donor in the cell. If the live Letter Carrier donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,723 as unique workers in the trade.
