Self-Employed political contributions from Phoenix, AZ

Self-Employed and Phoenix on the same FEC row

$10,800 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping SELF-EMPLOYED and contributor city PHOENIX with state AZ. LobbyVault keeps a Phoenix, AZ city hub and an Self-Employed industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Phoenix. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.

13 contributions from 12 donors produced $10,800. Thirteen receipts from twelve donors: one extra line is a repeat. Twelve donors is not a Census self-employment count. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $831; per donor, about $900. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.

SELF-EMPLOYED includes the hyphen. SELF EMPLOYED without a hyphen is a different stored string. Neither is NAICS. Exact “self” as a junk placeholder is not this grouping. $10,800 is Phoenix only.

The Phoenix side of the Self-Employed join

Phoenix, AZ’s all-industry itemized book in this extract is $181 million ($181,090,127) across 555,719 contributions. $10,800 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Phoenix receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector’s weight in Phoenix unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists SELF-EMPLOYED only.

Phoenix is a filer-entered Arizona city. Other AZ cities are other keys. Arizona campaign finance is the state roll-up; $181,090,127 is Phoenix, not statewide. Do not add $10,800 to the state hub; the state extract already contains these rows when the same tape is used. All FEC ties lists other city-industry pages. None of them converts $10,800 into spending by Phoenix candidates.

The Self-Employed side outside Phoenix

The Self-Employed industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Arizona-only table. $10,800 is the Phoenix, AZ slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored SELF-EMPLOYED is not in this join. A donor in Phoenix who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes the join dollars as $10,800 with 13 contributions and 12 donors.

This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Self-Employed × Phoenix overlap. Open the live Self-Employed page and the live Phoenix, AZ page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $10,800, 13 receipts, 12 donors, and the $181 million city book. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.

What the Self-Employed × Phoenix dollars omit

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $10,800. Arizona state-office filings sit outside it. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file. City labels and industry labels are both filer-entered; LobbyVault does not recode PHOENIX into a Census place or SELF-EMPLOYED into a standardized occupation. PAC or joint-fundraising addresses that stored this pair of strings follow the same rule as household streets.

Do not read $10,800 as proof that Self-Employed controls Phoenix politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $10,800 or 12 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the 12-donor cluster as a company-town finding or as a count of everyone who ever worked under a related name.

Using Phoenix and Self-Employed links without mixing statutes

Internal links go to Phoenix, AZ, Self-Employed, Arizona campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $10,800 to federal spending in Arizona. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Phoenix.

Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Self-Employed and Phoenix, AZ. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $10,800 across 13 receipts from 12 donors is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $10,800 to $181,090,127; the first number is already inside the second.

How to cite the Phoenix × Self-Employed facts

Citation template: employer/industry grouping SELF-EMPLOYED, contributor city Phoenix, AZ, $10,800 on 13 itemized individual contributions from 12 donors, against a city-wide $181,090,127 on 555,719 contributions (under 0.1% of city dollars). Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault. City labels are filer-entered.

Then send the reader to the live Phoenix, AZ hub, the Self-Employed industry page, Arizona campaign finance, and All FEC ties. If you need cycle cuts of Phoenix, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Self-Employed in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string.

Is SELF-EMPLOYED a NAICS industry?

No. SELF-EMPLOYED is a filer-entered employer or occupation string on FEC itemizations, not a NAICS code. $10,800 counts only rows that stored this exact text with city Phoenix. Other spellings and related job titles are other keys. LobbyVault does not recode the field into a sector.
