Accountant political contributions from Pennsylvania

The Accountant–Pennsylvania intersection

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state PA produce $1,060,013, 6,984 contributions, and 300 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 2.8%; contribution share about 3.4% (6,984 of 203,733); donor share about 3.6% (300 of 8,434). Three hundred Pennsylvania donors are 3.6% of 8,434 national ACCOUNTANT donors. Contributions (6,984 of 203,733) are about 3.4%; dollars about 2.8% 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 Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

300 Pennsylvania donors produced 6,984 contributions, about 23.3 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 Pennsylvania cell is about $152, against about $186 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s mean gift is about $152, below the national Accountant mean of about $186. Rows per donor (about 23.3) sit near the national Accountant pace (about 24.2).

ACCOUNTANT receipts with a Pennsylvania address

ACCOUNTANT is a filer-entered string. The file does not confirm a Pennsylvania CPA license. The word ACCOUNTANT plus PA 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 Pennsylvania (PA). This page locates the Pennsylvania overlap. It does not add the Pennsylvania CPA cell to invent a combined accounting total.

Pennsylvania as donor state

300 Pennsylvania donors produced 6,984 contributions totaling $1,060,013. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Pennsylvania workplace and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the rest of the state share the same code.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only ACCOUNTANT. The Accountant occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 97.2% of the $37,845,841. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every occupation coded to PA. ACCOUNTANT is only this filter.

What not to infer from Accountant plus Pennsylvania

This page does not merge CPA dollars, count licensed accountants, 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. Those two Pennsylvania cells stay separate.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ACCOUNTANT is not a Pennsylvania accountancy-board extract. Donor state PA 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 Pennsylvania 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 ($36,785,828) 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 300 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 6,984 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,060,013 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the ACCOUNTANT national total, drops a key. Three hundred donors producing 6,984 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,060,013 headline.

Accountant donations holds the $37,845,841 national occupation total. Pennsylvania 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. The Pennsylvania CPA occupation-state tie is a different packet and is not added here.
