Accountant political contributions from Washington

The Accountant–Washington intersection

Occupation ACCOUNTANT and donor state WA produce $1,066,352, 8,005 contributions, and 219 donors. The occupation hub is $37,845,841, 203,733 contributions, and 8,434 donors. Washington’s dollar share is about 2.8%; contribution share about 3.9% (8,005 of 203,733); donor share about 2.6% (219 of 8,434). Two hundred nineteen Washington donors are 2.6% of 8,434 national ACCOUNTANT donors. Contribution share (8,005 of 203,733) is about 3.9%, ahead of the 2.8% 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 Washington professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

219 Washington donors produced 8,005 contributions, about 36.6 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 Washington cell is about $133, against about $186 nationwide. Washington’s row-heavy pattern is milder than Connecticut’s 72.8 rows per donor, but still above the national Accountant pace. Mean gift here is about $133, below the national Accountant mean of about $186.

ACCOUNTANT receipts with a Washington address

ACCOUNTANT is a filer-entered string. The file stores donor state WA. That is Washington state, not Washington, D.C. The occupation string is ACCOUNTANT. 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 Washington (WA). This page locates the Washington overlap. It does not merge ACCOUNTANT with CPA.

Washington as donor state

219 Washington donors produced 8,005 contributions totaling $1,066,352. Donor state WA is the address on the record, not proof of a Washington license, and not a limit to Washington candidates. WA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Washington CPA license and not a limit to Washington candidates. Seattle and the rest of the state share the same code. DC is a different state code.

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

What not to infer from Accountant plus Washington

This page does not treat WA as Washington, D.C., merge CPA dollars, or claim that Accountant-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. WA is Washington state. ACCOUNTANT is not CPA. Those two facts stay separate from the dollar headline.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ACCOUNTANT is not a Washington Board of Accountancy extract. Donor state WA 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 Washington 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 ($36,779,489) 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 219 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 8,005 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,066,352 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Washington dollars, or only the ACCOUNTANT national total, drops a key. Two hundred nineteen donors producing 8,005 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,066,352 headline.

Accountant donations holds the $37,845,841 national occupation total. Washington 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. Connecticut Accountant is more row-heavy; Illinois has more donors. Do not add those cells here.
