Actor political contributions from California

Actor and California as a majority-share performing-title join

Occupation ACTOR and donor state CA together sum to $8,551,585, 29,762 contributions, and 851 donors. The occupation hub is $13,378,363, 52,289 contributions, and 1,461 donors. California’s share of dollars is 63.9%; of contributions, 56.9% (29,762 of 52,289); of donors, 58.2% (851 of 1,461).

851 California donors produced 29,762 contributions totaling $8,551,585. That is 63.9% of the $13,378,363 Actor occupation total. The leftover $4,826,778 is Actor-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California holds 63.9% of Actor-coded dollars ($8,551,585 of $13,378,363) from 851 of 1,461 donors. The leftover $4,826,778 is ACTOR in every other state. Keep the Actress–California page on its own facts. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted.

ACTOR as a gendered occupation string

ACTOR is a gendered performance title as typed. ACTRESS, PERFORMER, and ENTERTAINER are other strings if used. ACTRESS is a separate occupation hub with a separate national total. One thousand four hundred sixty-one donors produced 52,289 contributions totaling $13,378,363.

California’s 851 donors are 58.2% of the Actor donor count, 56.9% of contribution rows, and 63.9% of dollars. A majority share still does not identify a studio, a union card, or a recipient committee in this packet.

Eight hundred fifty-one California Actor donors

851 California donors produced 29,762 contributions totaling $8,551,585. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ACTOR. ACTRESS, PERFORMER, and ENTERTAINER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Actor donations without California still holds the remainder of the $13,378,363 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Nearly two-thirds of Actor-coded dollars

This page does not measure a SAG-AFTRA membership roll or a studio employment census, and it does not claim that Actor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

ACTOR fragments against ACTRESS, PERFORMER, and ENTERTAINER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $13,378,363 or the $8,551,585. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

ACTOR and ACTRESS stay unmerged

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Actor occupation total and the difference is $4,826,778 still coded Actor in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Actor donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Actor national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.
