Actor political contributions from New York

Actor and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ACTOR and donor state NY produce $3,490,899, 13,712 contributions, and 368 donors. The occupation hub is $13,378,363, 52,289 contributions, and 1,461 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 26.1%; contribution share about 26.2% (13,712 of 52,289); donor share about 25.2% (368 of 1,461). The three shares line up: about 26.1% of dollars, 26.2% of contributions, and 25.2% of donors. Three hundred sixty-eight New York donors produced 13,712 contributions totaling $3,490,899 — a high-frequency cell.

ACTRESS, ENTERTAINER, PERFORMER, and ACTOR/WRITER, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. Do not stack those strings onto this New York Actor cell or the $13,378,363 national ACTOR total. Do not stack ACTOR with ACTRESS, ENTERTAINER, or PERFORMER into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

368 New York donors produced 13,712 contributions, about 37.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 35.8 rows per donor nationally (52,289 contributions from 1,461 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $255, against about $256 nationwide. About 37.3 itemized rows per New York donor versus about 35.8 nationwide (52,289 contributions from 1,461 donors) is a high-repeat pattern on both sides of the join, not a gift-size ranking.

ACTOR as a performing-arts occupation string

ACTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a union card, a credit, or stage versus screen work. ACTOR is the occupation string as stored. The $13,378,363 national total is ACTOR only. 1,461 donors produced 52,289 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 52,289 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). Fifty-two thousand two hundred eighty-nine national contributions from 1,461 donors make ACTOR a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

368 New York donors produced 13,712 contributions totaling $3,490,899. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York production, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,490,899.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only ACTOR. The Actor occupation hub without New York still holds about 73.9% of the $13,378,363. New York’s campaign-finance hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. ACTOR is only this filter. An ACTRESS New York tie, if it exists, is a different occupation string.

What the Actor–New York join is not

This page does not count union members, rank productions, or claim that Actor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ACTOR is not ACTRESS even when a filer worked under both credits.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ACTOR is not a SAG-AFTRA roster. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Studio names, union locals, and employer strings are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Actor filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national ACTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ACTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($9,887,464) 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 368 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 13,712 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,490,899 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the ACTOR national total, drops a key. Thirteen thousand seven hundred twelve New York contributions from 368 donors is the frequency fact to keep next to the $3,490,899 headline. Do not add this cell to an ACTRESS California or New York tie.

Actor donations holds the $13,378,363 national occupation total. New York 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. ACTRESS and ENTERTAINER remain separate occupation keys.
