Washington × Marriott Corp: dollars versus rows

Dollars and rows can move in different directions in other joins; here they are simply $21,500 and 7 for the grouping, $3,742,866,190 and 2458173 for the city. under 0.1% uses dollars. A receipt share would use 7 and 2458173 as a raw ratio of packet counts, still not unique people.

4 harvested donors produced the grouping file in Washington. Repeat itemizations explain why receipts (7) and donors (4) can differ. Both numbers are in the packet; both should be quoted.

File-structure reading: receipts (7) count itemized lines; donors (4) count harvested unique donors in this extract; city contributions (2458173) count every itemized line that stored WASHINGTON. Mixing those denominators produces a false typical gift. Use $3,071 only with the receipt denominator and $5,375 only with the donor denominator. 4 harvested donors is still not a named roster. Washington is stored as WASHINGTON with state DC; Maryland and Virginia suburb strings are not recoded into this District key. District of Columbia campaign finance mixes other cities; this URL does not. Independent expenditures remain another FEC file.

Questions

Where do Marriott Corp and Washington, DC overlap in FEC data?

On itemized individual contribution rows that stored both MARRIOTT CORP and WASHINGTON. Those rows sum to $21,500 across 7 receipts from 4 donors. The city hub without the industry filter remains $3,742,866,190 on 2458173 lines. Original filings are on FEC.gov. Labels are filer-entered.

Why is the Marriott Corp share of Washington only under 0.1%?

Because the key is an exact string. Most of the $3,742,866,190 Washington book used other employer labels (100.0%). under 0.1% is a table identity, not proof the trade is absent. Do not recode MARRIOTT CORP into a sector and then treat under 0.1% as that sector's weight.

Does this page name the Marriott Corp donors in Washington?

No. The packet publishes 4 donors as a harvested count, not a roster. This prose does not invent names, committees, parties, or cycles. $21,500 on 7 receipts is the numeric join. Live hubs control if a later FEC extract revises the count.

Are Washington Marriott Corp gifts the same as local candidate spending?

No. Donor city WASHINGTON is an address field. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system. $21,500 is not spending by Washington candidates and is not a District of Columbia office filing total. Independent expenditures are another FEC table and are omitted here.
