Why this page is not the Los Angeles hub
Los Angeles, CA × Self-Employed is $21,545. That sentence needs both nouns. Drop Los Angeles and you are on the industry hub. Drop Self-Employed and you are on the city hub. Keep both. 32 receipts, 28 donors, city book $1,057,916,195 (1740508 lines), share under 0.1%.
Public records, not accusations. $21,545 does not show that Self-Employed controls Los Angeles. Two fields matched. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system. The CA city code is an address field.
SELF-EMPLOYED is a longer stored label, not the placeholder exact string SELF. Related self-employed-plus-trade strings are other keys. Other spellings of the employer or occupation are other keys and are omitted from $21,545. Los Angeles is stored as LOS ANGELES in California; Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and other LA-area strings are other keys.
Los Angeles, CA is more than this grouping
$21,545 is under 0.1% of $1,057,916,195. That percentage uses city dollars as the denominator, not California dollars and not national industry dollars. 1740508 contributions is the city row count in the packet. A row-share of the join would be 32 / 1740508 if cited as a ratio of those two packet counts — still not unique people.
Keep Los Angeles and Self-Employed in the same sentence when citing $21,545. Los Angeles is stored as LOS ANGELES in California; Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and other LA-area strings are other keys. City labels are filer-entered.
Self-Employed is not a sector roll-up
SELF-EMPLOYED is not a roll-up of similar employers. It is one key. $21,545 therefore understates a sector if other strings describe the same trade, and it overstates a firm if unrelated filers typed the same words. This page does not resolve that. It reports the key.
32 receipts from 28 donors in Los Angeles, CA remain the join. $673 per receipt and $769 per donor remain arithmetic. SELF-EMPLOYED is stored as an occupation/employer grouping on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every related job title.
Limits of the Los Angeles overlap
No committee names, party splits, or election-cycle cuts appear in this packet, so none appear here. No USAspending obligation dollars appear either. $21,545 is not a federal award. Los Angeles can show up in both FEC and spending datasets without those rows funding each other.
Correlation is not causation. 28 donors in Los Angeles storing SELF-EMPLOYED is a field match. It is not evidence of control, coordination, or a company town. If a later FEC extract revises $21,545, the live hub wins.
