Verizon contributions received by Verizon PAC

Verizon meeting Verizon PAC

Verizon is the grouped employer or occupation key. VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (VERIZON PAC) is committee C00186288. This page is the overlap: itemized individual gifts whose field grouped to VERIZON and whose recipient is that committee. The $352,867 figure is the intersection.

3,524 contributions averaging about $100 ($352,867 ÷ 3,524) describe this cell. The packet does not name the 3,524 filers or say whether they are one household repeating. A line count is a filing pattern, not a unique-donor census. Verizon × Verizon PAC is an industry-to-committee join, not a donor roster.

The join exists so the industry hub ($4,014,059) and the committee hub are not treated as the same list. C00186288 is the FEC committee ID on this URL. Independent expenditures stay outside $352,867. VERIZON is telecom employer text, not Verizon Communications as a treasury filer.

VERIZON as stored FEC employer text

VERIZON is filer-entered text. Telecom employer text, not verizon communications as a treasury filer. Neighboring spellings can sit on other keys. This page does not recode a corporate family or a NAICS sector into $4,014,059.

Occupation strings without this employer key sit on occupation hubs. This URL is Verizon × Verizon PAC, an industry-to-committee join, not an industry-to-cycle cell. Open the Verizon industry hub for the $4,014,059 employer total and other committees. The 8.8% ratio is $352,867 divided by $4,014,059. Other committee joins for VERIZON are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $3,661,192. Citing Verizon PAC as if it were the Verizon lifetime total would overstate this cell by $3,661,192.

VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (VERIZON PAC) (C00186288)

C00186288 is disclosed as VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (VERIZON PAC). This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made. The $352,867 is Verizon-coded individual receipts. Other employers giving to Verizon PAC appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the 3,524-line filter.

3,524 lines at about $100 each describe the cell arithmetic. That mean is $352,867 divided by 3,524. It is not a typical gift, not a limit, and not a payroll calendar. It does not identify who directed the gifts or whether Verizon as an entity participated. A mean of $100 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 3,524 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.

8.8% of the Verizon grouping

About 8.8% of $4,014,059 is $352,867 to Verizon PAC. That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that Verizon as an entity directed the gifts. High overlap with one committee is a reporting pattern, not a finding that the labeled entity allocated political money.

The leftover $3,661,192 (91.2% of $4,014,059) went to other committees under the same Verizon grouping, or sits outside this recipient filter. The Verizon industry hub holds that remainder. The VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS, INC. POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (VERIZON PAC) page holds receipts whose employer field did not group to VERIZON. Verizon as telecom employer text, not Verizon Communications as a treasury filer can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $352,867. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.

What the Commission does not verify

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $352,867. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an employer string and a committee name does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is telecom employer text, not Verizon Communications as a treasury filer, not a wired-telecom NAICS rollup, VERIZON WIRELESS as a sibling key, or a named-employee page.

Correlation between an employer string and a committee is not causation. The records show a text match, a recipient ID, and 3,524 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. Live hubs override this snapshot. If the overlay disagrees, the overlay and FEC.gov control. Quote both keys: Verizon and Verizon PAC. Quote the dollars: $352,867. Quote the volume: 3,524 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.

Citing Verizon and Verizon PAC together

Start with $352,867, then Verizon and Verizon PAC, then the industry hub or the committee hub if a filter needs to come off. Citation template: VERIZON, C00186288, $352,867, 3,524 contributions, 8.8% of $4,014,059, source FEC.gov. Keep neighboring spellings out of the total unless they grouped to this exact string.

The 8.8% share and the $100 mean gift belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a successor label or a sibling employer word and they stop being facts from this packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Campaign contributions are not federal awards. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $352,867. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00186288.
