Taubman Co political contributions from Detroit, MI
Filers who stored industry grouping TAUBMAN CO and contributor city DETROIT reported $38,500 in itemized individual contributions, across 9 receipts from 4 donors.

Key figures
- $38,500 from 4 donors and 9 receipts is the Taubman Co × Detroit, MI join.
- $78,603,491 is the all-industry Detroit, MI book; this string is under 0.1% of that book.
- TAUBMAN CO is an exact filer-entered label, not a sector roll-up.
- Means near $4,278 per receipt and $9,625 per donor are arithmetic only.
- If the live hub disagrees, the newer FEC extract controls.
How Taubman Co meets Detroit, MI on the FEC tape
$38,500 is the overlap of two filer-entered fields: industry/employer grouping TAUBMAN CO and contributor city DETROIT with state MI. LobbyVault keeps a Detroit, MI city hub and an Taubman Co industry hub. Neither hub is this join. The city hub is all industries in Detroit. The industry hub is that string across cities. This page is only both filters at once.
9 contributions from 4 donors produced $38,500. Repeat gifts add receipts; 4 donors is the headcount in this extract for the join, not a census of everyone in Detroit tied to that label. Arithmetic mean per receipt is about $4,278; per donor, about $9,625. Those means are division of packet facts, not typical salaries and not medians.
TAUBMAN CO is an exact employer/industry string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person who works in a related job. Other spellings, parent-company names, job titles, and blank employer rows are other keys. $38,500 counts only rows that stored this string in Detroit, MI. City labels are filer-entered.
The Detroit side of the Taubman Co join
Detroit, MI's all-industry itemized book in this extract is $78.6 million ($78,603,491) across 200,432 contributions. $38,500 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is expected when the industry key is an exact string: most Detroit receipts use other employer labels. Do not treat under 0.1% as the sector's weight in Detroit unless the packet listed a sector roll-up. It lists TAUBMAN CO only.
The stored city sits in Wayne County, Michigan. Dearborn and Warren are other city strings. Michigan campaign-finance pages include other cities. Do not add $38,500 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 $38,500 into spending by Detroit candidates.
The Taubman Co side outside Detroit
The Taubman Co industry hub is the same stored string in every city, not a Michigan-only table. $38,500 is the Detroit, MI slice of that string. A donor in another city who stored TAUBMAN CO is not in this join. A donor in Detroit who stored a different employer string is not in this join either. This packet publishes the industry-side dollars for the grouping as $38,500 with 9 contributions and 4 donors.
This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for the Taubman Co × Detroit, MI overlap. Open the live Taubman Co page and the live Detroit, MI page for those breakdowns if the extract publishes them. This prose stays on $38,500, 9 receipts, 4 donors, and the $78.6 million city book. Quote the join with both nouns in the same sentence so a downstream citation cannot drop a side.
What the Taubman Co × Detroit dollars omit
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $38,500. Michigan 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 DETROIT into a Census place or TAUBMAN CO 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 $38,500 as proof that Taubman Co controls Detroit politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $38,500 or 4 donors, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the 4-donor cluster as a company-town finding or as a count of everyone who ever worked under a related name.
Using Detroit, MI and Taubman Co links without mixing statutes
Internal links go to Detroit, MI, Taubman Co, Michigan 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 $38,500 to federal spending in Michigan. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different statutes even when both mention Detroit.
Researchers citing the join should keep both nouns in the sentence: Taubman Co and Detroit, MI. Dropping either noun turns this page into a restatement of a hub it is not. $38,500 across 9 receipts from 4 donors is the only overlap this extract published. Do not add $38,500 to $78,603,491; the first number is already inside the second.

Then send the reader to the live Detroit, MI hub, the Taubman Co industry page, Michigan campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. If you need cycle cuts of Detroit, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need Taubman Co in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string.
Questions
- How much did Taubman Co donors in Detroit, MI give?
- Itemized FEC individual contributions storing industry TAUBMAN CO and city DETROIT total $38,500 across 9 receipts from 4 donors in this extract. That is the join, not Detroit, MI's all-industry book of $78.6 million. Original reports remain on FEC.gov.
- Does Taubman Co in Detroit include every related job title?
- No. TAUBMAN CO is the exact stored string. Other employer spellings are other keys and are omitted from $38,500. 4 donors and 9 receipts follow that exact-match rule. LobbyVault does not map the field to a standardized occupation list.
- What share of Detroit, MI itemized money is Taubman Co?
- $38,500 is under 0.1% of the $78.6 million Detroit, MI city book (200,432 city-field contributions). A thin share usually means other employer strings dominate the city tape, not that the grouping is absent. Quote both dollars. Do not upgrade under 0.1% into a sector ranking.
- Do Taubman Co donations in Detroit fund federal spending there?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contributions, not USAspending awards. $38,500 does not become a contract because both rows can mention Detroit. Different statutes, different forms. This packet has no obligation dollars. Filings remain on FEC.gov.
