Advertising political contributions from New York

Advertising and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ADVERTISING and donor state NY produce $2,822,984, 6,554 contributions, and 294 donors. The occupation hub is $7,811,913, 27,634 contributions, and 1,247 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 36.1%; contribution share about 23.7% (6,554 of 27,634); donor share about 23.6% (294 of 1,247). Two hundred ninety-four New York donors are about 23.6% of 1,247 national donors; 6,554 contributions are about 23.7% of 27,634 national rows; dollars are about 36.1% of $7,811,913.

MARKETING, ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE, and ADVERTISING AGENCY, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Advertising total. Do not stack ADVERTISING with MARKETING or ADVERTISING EXECUTIVE into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

294 New York donors produced 6,554 contributions, about 22.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 22.2 rows per donor nationally (27,634 contributions from 1,247 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $431, against about $283 nationwide. New York’s about 36.1% dollar share runs ahead of its about 23.6% donor share — a higher-mean slice of the national ADVERTISING bucket.

ADVERTISING as a one-word occupation bucket

ADVERTISING is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify an agency, a medium, or a New York employer. The $7,811,913 national total is ADVERTISING only. 1,247 donors produced 27,634 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 27,634 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). One thousand two hundred forty-seven national donors make ADVERTISING a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

294 New York donors produced 6,554 contributions totaling $2,822,984. 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 agency, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,822,984.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only ADVERTISING. The Advertising occupation hub without New York still holds about 63.9% of the $7,811,913. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. ADVERTISING is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not measure ad spend, merge MARKETING dollars, or claim that Advertising-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ADVERTISING is not MARKETING. The New York Marketing join in this slice is a different occupation-state pair with different facts.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ADVERTISING is not a NAICS advertising extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Agency names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Advertising filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national ADVERTISING occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ADVERTISING in every other state combined. That remainder ($4,988,929) 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 294 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 6,554 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,822,984 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 ADVERTISING national total, drops a key. Two hundred ninety-four donors producing 6,554 contributions totaling $2,822,984 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Advertising donations holds the $7,811,913 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. Marketing in New York is a different occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
