Accountant political contributions from Connecticut

The Accountant–Connecticut intersection

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state CT produce $1,118,393, 9,176 contributions, and 126 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 4.5% (9,176 of 203,733); donor share about 1.5% (126 of 8,434). One hundred twenty-six Connecticut donors are 1.5% of 8,434 national ACCOUNTANT donors. Contribution share (9,176 of 203,733) is about 4.5%, ahead of the 3.0% dollar share of $37,845,841.

CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and AUDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack ACCOUNTANT with CPA or BOOKKEEPER into a single Connecticut professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

126 Connecticut donors produced 9,176 contributions, about 72.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 24.2 rows per donor nationally (203,733 contributions from 8,434 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $122, against about $186 nationwide. Connecticut’s row-heavy pattern (9,176 gifts from 126 people) is the distinctive fact of this cell. Mean gift here is about $122, below the national Accountant mean of about $186.

ACCOUNTANT receipts with a Connecticut address

ACCOUNTANT is a filer-entered string. Repeat itemization can inflate contribution counts without inflating unique donors. The file stores both figures; this page keeps them together. The $37,845,841 national total is ACCOUNTANT only. 8,434 donors produced 203,733 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 203,733 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). This page locates the Connecticut overlap. It does not merge ACCOUNTANT with CPA even when the same desk might use both strings.

Connecticut as donor state

126 Connecticut donors produced 9,176 contributions totaling $1,118,393. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Connecticut CPA license and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. Finance-corridor geography is unpublished.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only ACCOUNTANT. The Accountant occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 97.0% of the $37,845,841. Connecticut’s state hub includes every occupation coded to CT. ACCOUNTANT is only this filter.

What not to infer from Accountant plus Connecticut

This page does not treat 9,176 rows as 9,176 people, merge CPA dollars, or claim that Accountant-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A unique-donor count of 126 is not a person-level audit. Many small itemized rows can sit under one donor key.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ACCOUNTANT is not a Connecticut accountancy-board extract. Donor state CT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Accountant filter

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national ACCOUNTANT occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ACCOUNTANT in every other state combined. That remainder ($36,727,448) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 126 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 9,176 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,118,393 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the ACCOUNTANT national total, drops a key. One hundred twenty-six donors producing 9,176 contributions is the row-heavy fact to keep next to the $1,118,393 headline.

Accountant donations holds the $37,845,841 national occupation total. Connecticut campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Illinois Accountant is a different state cell with more donors and fewer rows per person; do not add those dollars here.
