WINNETKA across industries in Illinois

W W Grainger, Inc is not a sector roll-up
W W GRAINGER, INC is not a roll-up of similar employers. It is one key. $10,000 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.
1 receipt from 1 donor in Winnetka, IL remain the join. $10,000 per receipt and $10,000 per donor remain arithmetic. W W GRAINGER, INC is an exact employer string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person who works at a related firm.
What the W W Grainger, Inc × Winnetka dollars omit
Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $10,000. Illinois 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 WINNETKA into a Census place or W W GRAINGER, INC 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 $10,000 as proof that W W Grainger, Inc controls Winnetka politics. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. If the live hubs disagree with $10,000 or 1 donor, the newer FEC extract controls. This snapshot is not a third disclosure system. Do not treat the 1-donor cluster as a company-town finding or as a count of everyone who ever worked under a related name.
FEC receipts are not USAspending awards
A Form 3 individual itemization is not an assistance award and not a contract action. $10,000 does not become Illinois spending because both datasets can mention Winnetka. Keep FEC and USAspending separate. This packet has only FEC individual contribution aggregates.
Open Winnetka, IL for the city book, W W Grainger, Inc for the grouping across cities, Illinois campaign finance for the state mix, and all FEC ties for sibling joins. Each door answers a different question.
A thin share (under 0.1%) does not mean W W Grainger, Inc is absent from Winnetka; it means other strings dominate the $56,827,615 book. A larger harvested cluster would still be an exact-match cluster, not a sector census. 1 donor is a single harvested donor. 1 receipt can exceed that headcount when the same person is itemized more than once. W W GRAINGER, INC is an exact employer string on the itemization, not a NAICS sector and not every person who works at a related firm. Neighbor cities, metro recodes, and Census places are not applied. Winnetka is stored as WINNETKA in Illinois; Chicago, Wilmette, and Glencoe are not recoded into this key. Do not fold $10,000 into a Illinois industry total or into a USAspending obligation table.
Snapshot versus live extract
This prose freezes the packet. FEC.gov continues. If the live Winnetka, IL hub shows a different city total than $56,827,615, or the live W W Grainger, Inc hub shows a different grouping total than $10,000, trust the live extract. Do not average the two systems.
