$1,524,531 from the stored grouping into Letter Carrier Political Fund
USPS is the grouped employer or occupation key. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS OF U.S.A. POLITICAL FUND (LETTER CARRIER POLITICAL FUND) is committee C00023580. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to USPS and whose recipient is that committee. The $1,524,531 figure is the intersection.
48,870 contributions averaging about $31 ($1,524,531 ÷ 48,870) describe a high-volume itemized book (typical of many small repeat receipts) with a $31 mean. The packet does not name the 48,870 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census.
48,870 lines, a payroll-style occupation book
USPS is filer-entered text. a federal-employer abbreviation as stored by filers, not a Postal Service appropriation and not a finding that USPS as an entity gave. UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, POSTAL SERVICE, and US POSTAL SERVICE can sit on other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $8,027,435.
A high line count against a moderate dollar total often reflects many small itemized receipts, including payroll-deduction patterns at connected PACs. The packet does not publish a deduction calendar. The recipient’s disclosed name is the National Association of Letter Carriers of U.S.A. Political Fund.
Letter Carrier Political Fund (C00023580)
C00023580 is disclosed as NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS OF U.S.A. POLITICAL FUND (LETTER CARRIER POLITICAL FUND). This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $1,524,531 is USPS-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to Letter Carrier Political Fund appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 48,870-line filter.
48,870 lines at about $31 each describe the cell arithmetic. That mean is $1,524,531 divided by 48,870. It is not a typical gift, not a limit, and not a payroll calendar. It does not identify who directed the gifts or whether USPS as an entity participated.
19.0% of the USPS grouping
About 19.0% of $8,027,435 is $1,524,531 to Letter Carrier Political Fund. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that USPS as an entity directed the gifts. This committee is one recipient among several that stored the same employer/industry string.
The leftover $6,502,904 (81.0% of $8,027,435) went to other committees under the same USPS grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The USPS industry hub holds that remainder. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS OF U.S.A. POLITICAL FUND (LETTER CARRIER POLITICAL FUND) page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to USPS.
A USPS employer string is not a postal appropriation
USPS is a federal entity on spending tables; this join is still FEC itemized receipts, not postal appropriations or vendor awards. This join does not claim that $1,524,531 in itemized gifts funded federal work, or that federal work funded the gifts. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Two datasets can share a name without sharing a payment trail.
Cite $1,524,531, 48,870 contributions, $8,027,435, and C00023580. Keep both sides named: USPS as grouped text, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LETTER CARRIERS OF U.S.A. POLITICAL FUND (LETTER CARRIER POLITICAL FUND) as recipient. Motive is outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Corporate treasury contributions, if any exist on other schedules, are not in these facts.
