Advocate political contributions from California

Advocate and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ADVOCATE and donor state CA produce $5,576,068, 646 contributions, and 26 donors. The occupation hub is $5,985,224, 2,705 contributions, and 114 donors. Dollar share (93.2%) and contribution share (23.9%) diverge by more than ten points. California Advocate-coded receipts are not a miniature of the national mix. California holds the large majority of Advocate-coded dollars from about one-fifth of the donors.

Advocate is a short civic-or-legal title as typed. Nearby strings — ATTORNEY, LAWYER, ACTIVIST, and PATIENT ADVOCATE — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $5,576,068 or $5,985,224. Twenty-six California donors carrying most of the occupation’s dollars is a concentration fact, not a named-organization list.

Twenty-six California donors produced 646 contributions, about 24.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.7 rows per donor nationally (2,705 contributions from 114 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this California cell are about $214,464, versus about $52,502 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

Advocate as a national occupation grouping

ADVOCATE is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify State Bar of California membership or a lobbying registration. The national grouping is 114 donors, 2,705 contributions, and $5,985,224.

Two thousand seven hundred five contributions from 114 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. California’s 646 contributions from 26 donors is the CA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California.

California on the state side

Twenty-six California donors produced 646 contributions totaling $5,576,068. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California professional license, and not a limit to California candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ADVOCATE. Subtract $5,576,068 from $5,985,224 and $409,156 remains coded Advocate in every other state combined (2,059 contributions, 88 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Advocate–California join is not

This page does not measure advocate output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Advocate-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a bar-admission roster, not a 501(c)(4) staff census, and not a lobbying-registrant file.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state CA is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one Advocate filter

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 $5,576,068, 646 contributions, and 26 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Advocate national total, drops a key.

Advocate donations holds the $5,985,224 national occupation total. California 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. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

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. Twenty-six California donors carrying most of the occupation’s dollars is a concentration fact, not a named-organization list.
