Accountant political contributions from New Jersey

Accountant and New Jersey as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state NJ produce $1,396,666, 6,433 contributions, and 384 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 3.7%; contribution share about 3.2% (6,433 of 203,733); donor share about 4.6% (384 of 8,434). Three hundred eighty-four New Jersey donors are about 4.6% of 8,434 national donors; 6,433 contributions are about 3.2% of 203,733 national rows; dollars are about 3.7% of $37,845,841.

CPA, BOOKKEEPER, and CONTROLLER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Accountant total. Do not stack ACCOUNTANT with CPA or BOOKKEEPER into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

384 New Jersey donors produced 6,433 contributions, about 16.8 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 New Jersey cell is about $217, against about $186 nationwide. New Jersey’s about 3.7% share of $37,845,841 from 384 people is a many-person professional slice, not a handful of large checks.

ACCOUNTANT as a workplace-title string

ACCOUNTANT is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a New Jersey CPA license, a firm, or an employer. The word on the form is the filter. 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 New Jersey (NJ). Eight thousand four hundred thirty-four national donors make ACCOUNTANT a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NJ.

New Jersey on the Accountant state side

384 New Jersey donors produced 6,433 contributions totaling $1,396,666. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,396,666.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only ACCOUNTANT. The Accountant occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 96.3% of the $37,845,841. New Jersey’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NJ. ACCOUNTANT is only this filter.

What the Accountant–New Jersey join is not

This page does not count licensed accountants, merge CPA dollars, or claim that Accountant-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ACCOUNTANT is not CPA even when filers meant a licensed practice.

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

Three numbers, two fields, one Accountant filter

Subtract the New Jersey 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 ($36,449,175) 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 384 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 6,433 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,396,666 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the ACCOUNTANT national total, drops a key. Three hundred eighty-four donors producing 6,433 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,396,666 headline.

Accountant donations holds the $37,845,841 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Washington has a CPA occupation-state tie in this slice; that is a different occupation string.
