The Bechtel Group political contributions from Oakland, CA

The Bechtel Group inside Oakland, CA: the both-keys table

Two keys must stay on. Contributor city Oakland, CA (OAKLAND, CA) is one. Employer/industry grouping The Bechtel Group (THE BECHTEL GROUP) is the other. Receipts that carry only one of those keys never enter $10,000. The city-wide total $122,533,634 from 437,635 lines is the parent before the employer filter. 2 donors is the harvested headcount for the pair, not a workforce census.

Seven receipts from two donors is a small pair with repeat gifts. About $1,429 per receipt is $10,000 divided by 7. About $5,000 per harvested donor is $10,000 divided by 2. Keep those quotients attached to their nouns. They are not medians.

Use Oakland, CA, The Bechtel Group, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties as the four doors out of this snapshot. None of them converts $10,000 into a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign receipts and USAspending awards are different statutes.

What the Oakland, CA city book holds

Oakland, CA indexes $122,533,634 ($122.5 million rounded) on 437,635 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. San Francisco, Berkeley, and Alameda are other city strings. OAKLAND is the stored place on these receipts. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list OAKLAND can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 437,635.

California campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Oakland, CA. Do not treat $122,533,634 as the CA state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $122,533,634. State-office campaigns in California file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.

The Bechtel Group as an exact stored string

Inside Oakland, CA, receipts tagged The Bechtel Group total $10,000 on 7 lines from 2 donors. That is under 0.1% of $122,533,634. About $1,429 per receipt is $10,000 divided by 7. About $5,000 per harvested donor is $10,000 divided by 2. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.

THE BECHTEL GROUP is an exact employer string including the leading THE. Other Bechtel legal names that did not match are other keys. Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of The Bechtel Group that did not match this key never enter $10,000. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Oakland, CA.

Correlation is not causation

It is not a ranking of Oakland, CA neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that The Bechtel Group money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.

It is not The Bechtel Group nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing. under 0.1% is $10,000 divided by $122,533,634. Rounding the city total to $122.5 million does not create a second extract. Use $122,533,634 in a table. Correlation is not causation: two filer-entered fields meeting is not evidence that The Bechtel Group controls Oakland, CA politics.

Citing THE BECHTEL GROUP and OAKLAND together

Citation template: occupation or industry grouping The Bechtel Group, contributor city Oakland, CA, $10,000 on 7 itemized individual contributions from 2 donors, against a city-wide $122,533,634 on 437,635 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 Oakland, CA hub, the The Bechtel Group industry page, California campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $10,000 to $122,533,634; the first number is already inside the second.

Where to go after $10,000

The Oakland, CA hub is the unfiltered city index: $122,533,634 on 437,635 lines. The The Bechtel Group hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $10,000. California campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Oakland, CA. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $10,000 into a federal award.

If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 2 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Oakland, CA, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need The Bechtel Group in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Oakland, CA and The Bechtel Group, $10,000, 7 receipts, 2 donors.
