Letter Carrier contributions to the National Rural Letter Carriers PAC

Nearly half the title on a rural-association PAC

47.0% of Letter Carrier itemized dollars landed on NRLCA PAC. $3,068,484 went to other federal committees, including other postal unions’ PACs if they received the same occupation string.

23,255 receipts at mean $117 is a high-count, modest-check pattern. Repeat itemizations can raise the count. Unique donors are unpublished. Do not convert 23,255 into a craft roster.

C00072025 as NRLCA PAC

NATIONAL RURAL LETTER CARRIERS' ASSOCIATION POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE received $2,723,107 from this occupation key. Other occupations on the same PAC sit outside the join. $2,723,107 is not the PAC’s all-occupation total and not association dues.

Independent expenditures are excluded. USPS employment status is not an FEC field. Cycle year is not in the packet. Cite FEC.gov for the live committee file.

Amended Schedule A filings move $2,723,107 and $5,791,591. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. This /ties/ page is a join snapshot, not a substitute for the occupation hub or the committee file on FEC.gov. Coverage stops at itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. Unitemized gifts never enter either integer.

What 47.0 percent does not prove

A large dollar share of Letter Carrier is not proof that most carriers are rural or belong to NRLCA. NALC and other postal unions are other committee IDs if present. Do not add union PACs.

Route type, mileage, and motive are not fields. The join is two FEC labels. Correlation of a craft title with a rural-association PAC is a filing pattern.

Questions

How much did letter carriers give to NRLCA PAC?

$2,723,107 in 23,255 itemized contributions from occupation Letter Carrier to C00072025. That is 47.0% of Letter Carrier’s $5,791,591 occupation-wide total. Mean $117 is arithmetic. Unique donors are unpublished. Independent expenditures are excluded.

Are city carriers in this $2.7 million?

They can be if the occupation line stored Letter Carrier and the recipient was C00072025. The occupation string does not say rural. Rural letter carrier as a longer title is a different key unless FEC stored it as LETTER CARRIER.

Is this the same as the Letter Carriers union (NALC) PAC?

No. This recipient is C00072025, the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association PAC. NALC would be a different committee ID. Adding union PACs would invent a postal-craft recode this join does not store. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.

Is $2.7 million NRLCA PAC’s total fundraising?

No. $2,723,107 is the Letter Carrier occupation slice. Other occupations on C00072025 sit on the committee overlay. Dues and independent expenditures are outside the source note. The live FEC committee file is the PAC-wide view. Cite FEC.gov itemized individual aggregates; independent expenditures are excluded.
