Analyst political contributions from California

Analyst and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ANALYST and donor state CA produce $2,784,972, 14,228 contributions, and 493 donors. The occupation hub is $21,535,032, 95,588 contributions, and 3,688 donors. California’s dollar share is about 12.9%; contribution share about 14.9% (14,228 of 95,588); donor share about 13.4% (493 of 3,688). Four hundred ninety-three California donors are about 13.4% of 3,688 national donors; 14,228 contributions are about 14.9% of 95,588 national rows; dollars are about 12.9% of $21,535,032.

FINANCIAL ANALYST, DATA ANALYST, and BUSINESS ANALYST, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Analyst total. Do not stack ANALYST with FINANCIAL ANALYST or DATA ANALYST into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

493 California donors produced 14,228 contributions, about 28.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 25.9 rows per donor nationally (95,588 contributions from 3,688 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $196, against about $225 nationwide. California’s about 12.9% dollar share and about 14.9% contribution share make this a large cell of a high-row occupation (95,588 national contributions).

ANALYST as a one-word workplace title

ANALYST is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify finance, data, or policy, and it does not verify a California employer. The $21,535,032 national total is ANALYST only. 3,688 donors produced 95,588 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 95,588 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Ninety-five thousand five hundred eighty-eight national contributions make ANALYST a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

493 California donors produced 14,228 contributions totaling $2,784,972. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California desk, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,784,972.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ANALYST. The Analyst occupation hub without California still holds about 87.1% of the $21,535,032. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. ANALYST is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count CFA charterholders, merge FINANCIAL ANALYST dollars, or claim that Analyst-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ANALYST is not FINANCIAL ANALYST even when filers meant a securities desk. Project Manager in California is a different occupation-state pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ANALYST is not a CFA roster. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Credential numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Analyst filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national ANALYST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ANALYST in every other state combined. That remainder ($18,750,060) 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 493 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 14,228 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,784,972 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the ANALYST national total, drops a key. Four hundred ninety-three donors producing 14,228 contributions totaling $2,784,972 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Analyst donations holds the $21,535,032 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. Project Manager and Programmer in California are different occupation-state ties.
