Missouri donors listing occupation Letter Carrier

Why Letter Carrier and Missouri share one page

LobbyVault keeps a Letter Carrier occupation page and a Missouri campaign-finance page. Neither page is this join. The join is $222,681 from 3,905 contributions and 68 donors where occupation equals LETTER CARRIER and state equals MO. Against the occupation total of $5,791,591, that is 3.8%. Other states hold $5,568,910. Missouri’s Letter Carrier cell is a many-row slice of a high-volume occupation string; line count here is not a USPS headcount for Missouri.

Do not treat 3.8% as Letter Carrier workers’ share of all Missouri receipts. The state hub still holds every other occupation. Do not treat 68 as a headcount of everyone who held the job in Missouri. The count is donor keys whose itemized receipts grouped to this string. The packet does not publish a party split or an employer split for this pair.

What $5,791,591 on the occupation hub includes

On the occupation side, Letter Carrier indexes $5,791,591 of itemized individual receipts across 1,844 donors. $222,681 is already inside that total; adding $222,681 to $5,791,591 would double-count the Missouri slice. Letter Carrier occupation pages still mix Missouri with every other state.

LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. Keep the exact string on the citation so Letter Carrier is not merged with a sibling title. Postal Worker, Mail Carrier, USPS, and Postal Carrier are other keys. Use the occupation hub to see the title without a state filter, and use this tie page when the question is specifically Letter Carrier in Missouri.

Donor keys, lines, and means for Letter Carrier in Missouri

3,905 contributions totaling $222,681 is the operational definition of the Missouri side for this occupation. Repeat gifts from the same donor key raise the line count without raising 68. About 57.4 lines per donor is consistent with repeat itemization, but it is not proof of a giving program.

Mean $57 per line and $3,275 per donor should never be quoted as a typical Letter Carrier gift in Missouri. Typical would need a median. This extract has none. 68 keys can hide a lopsided mix of large and small gifts — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.

The Missouri hub is not this cell

MO on the record is a mailing-state code. Inside it, Letter Carrier shows 3,905 contributions totaling $222,681 from 68 donors. Occupation mean about $3,275 per donor uses only those facts. That ratio is not household income and not a unique-person average.

The Missouri campaign-finance hub mixes Letter Carrier with every other occupation string. This page does not. If a citation needs Letter Carrier in Missouri, use this tie. If a citation needs all of Missouri across occupations, use the state hub. If a citation needs all of Letter Carrier across states, use the occupation hub. Three different denominators.

Public records, not accusations

Public records, not accusations: $222,681 from 3,905 contributions and 68 donors is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or professional-bloc control. Correlation is not causation. Letter Carrier × Missouri is a database join.

Researchers should keep LETTER CARRIER as the stored occupation string and MO as the donor-state tag. LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Coverage limits on the Letter Carrier × Missouri cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation LETTER CARRIER and donor state MO. $222,681, 3,905 lines, 68 keys. The occupation total $5,791,591 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

MO is a mailing-state code. That fact locates the contributor address on the record. It does not explain motives. See Letter Carrier donations, Missouri campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Letter Carrier, donor state Missouri (MO), $222,681 itemized, 3,905 contributions, 68 donors, 3.8% of $5,791,591 from 1,844 national donors. LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. Postal Worker, Mail Carrier, USPS, and Postal Carrier stay on other occupation pages. The Missouri campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

What is the Missouri Letter Carrier contribution total?

$222,681 from 3,905 itemized contributions and 68 donor keys whose occupation grouped to LETTER CARRIER and whose state grouped to MO. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $5,791,591. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Letter Carrier occupation receipts is Missouri?

3.8%. That is $222,681 divided by $5,791,591. The complement is $5,568,910 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 4.8% (3,905 of 81,247).

Does occupation LETTER CARRIER mean the donors were licensed?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. LETTER CARRIER is the occupation string. Postal Worker is a different key if those words appear. Employer is not in this packet. 68 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $222,681 on 3,905 lines.

Do these Missouri donations fund federal spending?

No. $222,681 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Letter Carrier and donor state Missouri. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $222,681. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
