Mountaire Corp contributions received by AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY ACTION, INC. (AFP ACTION)
$8,500,000 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the MOUNTAIRE CORP employer grouping and AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY ACTION, INC. (AFP ACTION) DBA CVA ACTION AND DBA LIBRE ACTION (C00687103). That cell covers 585 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The employer grouping totals $20,128,657; this super PAC-style committee is about 42% of that poultry-and-agribusiness string, not Mountaire’s connected PAC and not every DBA on the committee’s registration restated as a separate total.
Key figures
- AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY ACTION, INC. received $8,500,000 from MOUNTAIRE CORP-coded individual gifts across 585 contributions.
- The MOUNTAIRE CORP grouping totals $20,128,657, so this committee is about 42% of that labeled money.
- CVA ACTION and LIBRE ACTION are DBAs of C00687103, not extra dollar totals on this page.
- The join is itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures and not USAspending awards.
Mountaire Corp meeting AFP Action under one committee ID
MOUNTAIRE CORP is the grouped employer key. The recipient is committee C00687103, registered as AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY ACTION, INC. (AFP ACTION) DBA CVA ACTION AND DBA LIBRE ACTION. This page uses that single FEC ID. The $8,500,000 figure is itemized individual gifts whose employer field grouped to MOUNTAIRE CORP and whose recipient is that committee. Doing-business-as names on the registration are aliases of C00687103, not extra dollar piles in this join.
CORP is the stored abbreviation. Filers who typed MOUNTAIRE FARMS, MOUNTAIRE CORPORATION, or a plant-city name may sit in other buckets if stored that way. The join does not prove that Mountaire as a company contributed, matched, or reimbursed the 585 gifts.
Five hundred eighty-five contributions totaling $8,500,000 is a moderate line count against a round $8.5 million cell.
Forty-two percent of Mountaire Corp individual money
The MOUNTAIRE CORP grouping shows $20,128,657 in itemized individual money. The AFP Action cell is $8,500,000, or about 42% of that total. About 58% of the labeled money went to other committees. Those other dollars are the larger share of the industry hub; this tie is the largest single committee slice in the packet facts, but it is not a majority.
A 42% share is substantial overlap without swallowing the grouping. Opening only this tie would hide the other $11,628,657 of MOUNTAIRE CORP-coded receipts ($20,128,657 minus $8,500,000).
585 contributions into C00687103
AMERICANS FOR PROSPERITY ACTION, INC. received $8,500,000 from MOUNTAIRE CORP-coded receipts across 585 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $14,530 per contribution. That mean can reflect a mix of large itemized gifts and smaller repeats. The packet does not publish a median or name donors.
C00687103 also received money from other employers. Those receipts are on the committee overlay and are not in these 585 rows. Independent expenditures filed under AFP ACTION, CVA ACTION, or LIBRE ACTION remain outside this source note.
Agribusiness labels and federal spending
Mountaire-related entities can appear in agricultural contracting, inspection, or other federal records. Those records are not these FEC gifts. This join does not claim that contributions to AFP Action funded USAspending awards, or that awards funded the contributions. Shared company names across datasets are labels.
Correlation between an agribusiness employer string and a super PAC is a reporting pattern, not causation of farm policy or election outcomes.
How to read the DBA committee without splitting the ID
The Mountaire Corp industry page keeps the $20,128,657 grouping. The committee page for C00687103 keeps the registered name and its DBAs as one account. All industries ranks other agribusiness keys. All FEC ties lists other employer-committee cells so this 42% overlap is not mistaken for three separate committees named AFP, CVA, and Libre.
The $8,500,000 cell is a round number in the packet facts. Round totals can reflect a small set of large itemized gifts that happen to sum cleanly; they can also reflect many gifts. With 585 contributions, either pattern is possible. The packet does not publish a largest gift. About $14,530 per contribution is $8,500,000 divided by 585, an arithmetic mean only.
One committee ID, three DBAs, one dollar pile
AFP ACTION, CVA ACTION, and LIBRE ACTION are doing-business-as names on C00687103. This join does not split $8,500,000 among those aliases. Citing three totals would triple-count the same cell. Independent expenditures filed under any DBA remain outside the source note even when the letterhead changes.
The 42% share ($8,500,000 of $20,128,657) leaves $11,628,657 of MOUNTAIRE CORP-coded receipts on other committees. MOUNTAIRE FARMS and MOUNTAIRE CORPORATION, if stored, are other keys. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Quote CORP as the stored abbreviation, C00687103 as the ID, and 585 as the contribution count. Do not convert 585 into a plant-level headcount.
