Key figures

  • STATE SENATOR occupation itemizations sum to $9,951,389 from 3,774 contributions and 471 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $2,637 per contribution and about $21,128 per donor record.
  • The office string is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified state-senate roster.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

Fewest donor records in this dollar band, high means

$9,951,389, 3,774 itemizations, and 471 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $2,637. Mean dollars per donor record are about $21,128. Repeat giving is about 8 itemizations per donor record.

3,774 lines from 471 records is a concentrated office-title stack: few donor records, large arithmetic means. The per-donor mean of about $21,128 is not a typical legislative salary redirected to federal races.

The packet has no chamber, no state, and no median gift. A few large itemizations can dominate the average.

STATE SENATOR is a self-typed office label

The FEC record does not verify that the donor currently sits in a state senate. Former members, staff who typed the office loosely, and people in other chambers can all appear. Best-efforts rules do not force a legislative roster.

This page cites only $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. CANDIDATE and other office strings remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them.
