Advertising political contributions from Minnesota

Advertising and Minnesota as an industry-word join

26 Minnesota donors produced 357 contributions totaling $149,486. That is 1.9% of the $7,811,913 Advertising occupation total. Correlation is not causation: occupation does not cause the gifts, and Minnesota as donor state does not cause recipient geography.

Rows per donor in the Minnesota cell average 13.7, versus about 22.2 nationally for ADVERTISING. Repeat itemization can lift the contribution count without lifting unique donors. Unitemized gifts under the FEC itemization threshold never enter either total.

This relationship is a bookkeeping join on two fields from FEC.gov. It is not an agency-billings census, an Ad Fed membership roll, or a media-spend table. ADVERTISING is an industry word; it is not a Minnesota seller's-permit file.

ADVERTISING versus PUBLIC RELATIONS as separate FEC labels

Filers typed ADVERTISING. The FEC does not rewrite that text into a standard occupational taxonomy. ADVERTISING is an industry word; it is not a Minnesota seller's-permit file. Nationwide, 1,247 donors produced 27,634 contributions totaling $7,811,913.

Keep Advertising on its own Minnesota page. Mixing it with a sibling string would double-count some people and miss others, and this packet has no counts for those other strings. The Minnesota cell is only the ADVERTISING × MN overlap: $149,486, 357 contributions, 26 donors.

Twenty-six Minnesota Advertising donors

26 Minnesota donors produced 357 contributions totaling $149,486. Donor state MN is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a Minnesota workplace, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only ADVERTISING. ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, MARKETING, and PUBLIC RELATIONS, if used, sit in other hubs. They are not this page even when they share the MN state code.

Advertising donations without Minnesota still holds the remainder of the $7,811,913 occupation total ($7,662,427). A Minnesota directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

An industry word is not an agency census

ADVERTISING is an industry word; it is not a Minnesota seller's-permit file. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Independent expenditures, party coordinated spends, and committee-to-committee transfers are other FEC tables. They are not added into $149,486. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not name committees or donors.

Read the three Minnesota counts as one cell: $149,486 dollars, 357 contributions, 26 donors. Read the three national Advertising counts as the other: $7,811,913, 27,634, 1,247. Percentages (1.9% of dollars, 1.3% of rows, 2.1% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Twenty-six Minnesota donors produced 357 itemized rows inside a 1,247-donor national Advertising bucket.

Advertising dollars from every other state

Subtract the Minnesota dollars on this page from the national Advertising occupation total and the difference is $7,662,427 still coded Advertising in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Advertising donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Minnesota 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 Minnesota dollars, or only the Advertising 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. Mn advertising-word overlap is the unit: ADVERTISING × MN = $149,486.

Related tables for Advertising and Minnesota

Advertising donations holds the $7,811,913 national occupation total and the 1,247-donor count. Minnesota campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to MN. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $149,486, 357 contributions, and 26 donors together.

Does Advertising mean Minnesota agencies or their clients?

The FEC file does not verify licenses or registrations. Occupation is ADVERTISING and state is MN. The 26 Minnesota donors produced $149,486 across 357 contributions. ADVERTISING is an industry word; it is not a Minnesota seller's-permit file. This is not an agency-billings census, an Ad Fed membership roll, or a media-spend table.

Is Advertising the same FEC bucket as Public Relations?

Minnesota holds 1.9% of the $7,811,913 occupation total ($149,486). Minnesota also accounts for 1.3% of contributions (357 of 27,634) and 2.1% of donors (26 of 1,247). ADVERTISING is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted. Sibling labels are other hubs.

Do Minnesota Advertising gifts stay in Minnesota races?

No. Donor state is Minnesota. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $149,486 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 357 contributions and 26 donors are the ADVERTISING-and-MN overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
