Mobil political contributions from Ny, NY

The Ny × Mobil relationship

Two dimensions meet here: contributor city Ny, NY and employer/industry grouping Mobil. The published intersection is $15,850 from 20 itemized FEC individual contributions and 4 donors. Ny's all-industry book is $88,285,550 from 98,353 contributions. Under 0.1% of city dollars used this exact employer string.

FEC.gov Schedule A aggregates are the source. LobbyVault does not recode NY or MOBIL. The join is not a restatement of the city hub and not a restatement of the industry hub. Quote both sides.

Division checks: $15,850 / 20 is about $792 per receipt; $15,850 / 4 is about $3,962 per donor. Use those as arithmetic, not as typical gifts. Repeat filings explain why receipts can exceed donors.

Unpacking Ny, NY

NY is the stored city field. Display copy uses Ny. State is NY (New York). 98,353 lines built $88,285,550 ($88.3 million in headline form). That integer includes every industry string filed with this city, so $15,850 is a subset, not an add-on.

Adjacent municipalities that typed another city are absent from $88,285,550. Committee street addresses that typed Ny may be present. The packet does not split residents from non-residents. Do not invent that split. New York campaign-finance pages remain the state view.

Unpacking Mobil

MOBIL is the stored industry/employer grouping. $15,850 is this packet's published total for that grouping under the Ny filter, with 20 contributions and 4 donors. Related job titles that used different strings are other keys.

The industry hub lists the same string in other cities. Those other cities are not added into $15,850 on this page. All FEC ties points to other city-industry pairs so readers do not treat this overlap as the only Mobil activity.

A second pass on the same integers: $15,850 is the overlap, 20 is the line count, 4 is the donor count, $88,285,550 is the Ny book, and 98,353 is the city line count. None of those five figures is a committee total. None is an independent-expenditure total. None is a New York state-office total. Quote them with the nouns Mobil and Ny, NY still attached.

What the join does not prove

It does not prove that donations fund federal awards in Ny. FEC and USAspending are different datasets. This packet has no award counts. It does not rank Ny against other cities as more political or less. Police-report comparisons are not in this extract either.

It does not identify donor names. 4 is a count, not a roster. It does not assign party. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts sit outside $15,850. Correlation is not causation.

Filer-entered employer text can abbreviate, invert word order, or drop punctuation. This extract kept MOBIL as its own key. A researcher who wants a family of similar names must open those other keys separately and must not fold them into $15,850 by hand. The same rule applies to city spellings of NY. LobbyVault does not silently merge them on this page.

Where to click from Mobil in Ny

City hub: Ny, NY. Industry hub: Mobil. State hub: New York campaign finance. Inventory: All FEC ties. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this packet authorizes. Do not invent additional URLs.

Keep $15,850 attached to Mobil and Ny, NY in the same sentence. Dropping a side misstates the join. If the live extract moves, FEC.gov controls.

How to quote the packet

Write: filers storing MOBIL and NY, NY reported $15,850 on 20 itemized individual contributions from 4 donors, versus a Ny city book of $88,285,550 on 98,353 contributions (under 0.1%). Source: FEC.gov. City labels are filer-entered.

City-cycle and industry-cycle pages answer even-year windows. This file does not. Do not add $15,850 to $88,285,550.

Schedule A itemizations that met both filters are the only rows in $15,850. If a receipt stored MOBIL and a different city, it is out. If it stored NY and a different employer, it is out. If it stored neither, it is out. That three-way exclusion is why under 0.1% of the Ny book can look small while the city itself still has a large $88,285,550 total.

Questions

Mobil in Ny: what dollars are published?

$15,850 from 20 receipts and 4 donors on FEC.gov itemized individual contributions storing MOBIL and NY, NY. Ny's unfiltered total is $88,285,550 on 98,353 lines. Share: under 0.1%. Labels are filer-entered.

Why is the Mobil share of Ny only under 0.1%?

The industry key is an exact string, not a sector roll-up. Most of the $88,285,550 city book used other employer labels. Under 0.1% does not mean the trade is absent from Ny; it means other strings dominate the tape. Quote $15,850 and $88,285,550 together.

Is NY geocoded to a Census place?

No. City labels are filer-entered. Ny, NY is the display form of stored NY plus state NY. Adjacent spellings are other keys. 98,353 city lines follow that exact city field. LobbyVault does not recode the place.

Are independent expenditures inside $15,850?

No. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. $15,850 is itemized individual contributions only. Unitemized gifts and New York state-office filings are also outside the join. 20 receipts are Schedule A-style itemizations in this aggregate.
