Air Traffic Controller political contributions from Minnesota

Air Traffic Controller receipts coded to Minnesota

Occupation AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER and donor state MN produce $566,314, 4,820 contributions, and 107 donors. The occupation hub is $14,802,186, 138,186 contributions, and 3,081 donors. Minnesota’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 3.5% (4,820 of 138,186); donor share about 3.5% (107 of 3,081). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Air Traffic Controller hub and not a restatement of all Minnesota occupations.

CONTROLLER, FAA, and PILOT, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER with those strings into a single Minnesota professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

Minnesota accounts for about 3.5% of AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER contributions (4,820 of 138,186) and about 3.5% of donors (107 of 3,081), beside a 3.8% dollar share. When contribution share exceeds dollar share, the Minnesota cell is relatively high-frequency. 107 donors produced 4,820 lines, about 45.0 per donor here versus 44.9 nationally. Mean gift is about $117 in Minnesota and about $107 in the occupation bucket.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER as an aviation label

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $14,802,186 national total is AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER only. 3,081 donors produced 138,186 contributions in that occupation bucket. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER is an aviation operations title, not an FAA credential roster or facility staffing table. Nearby labels CONTROLLER, FAA, and PILOT remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 138,186 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Minnesota (MN). 138,186 national contributions make AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Minnesota overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Minnesota donor-state coding

107 Minnesota donors produced 4,820 contributions totaling $566,314. Donor state MN is the address on the record, not proof of a Minnesota license, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates. MN is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $566,314. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MN-coded donors.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER. The Air Traffic Controller occupation hub without Minnesota still holds about 96.2% of the $14,802,186 (remainder $14,235,872). Minnesota’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MN. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

What not to read into controller plus Minnesota

A 3.8% dollar share in Minnesota does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 107 unique donors as an FAA credential roster or facility staffing table. AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER is not interchangeable with CONTROLLER, FAA, and PILOT.

Quote $566,314, 4,820 contributions, and 107 donors for Air Traffic Controller in Minnesota, against $14,802,186 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Air Traffic Controller and Minnesota—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Keeping dollars, lines, and donors together

A complete claim names Air Traffic Controller and Minnesota (MN), then $566,314, 4,820 contributions, 107 donors, and 3.8% of $14,802,186, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Minnesota: $14,235,872. Mean gift $117 is $566,314 divided by 4,820 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Minnesota dollars on this page from the national AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER in every other state combined. That remainder ($14,235,872) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 107 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Indexes for other occupation-state pairs

Air Traffic Controller donations holds the $14,802,186 national occupation total. Minnesota 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.
