Analyst political contributions from Virginia

The Analyst–Virginia intersection

Occupation ANALYST and donor state VA produce $2,259,175, 12,517 contributions, and 430 donors. The occupation hub is $21,535,032, 95,588 contributions, and 3,688 donors. Virginia’s dollar share is about 10%; contribution share about 13% (12,517 of 95,588); donor share about 12% (430 of 3,688).

Contribution share (about 13%) runs a little ahead of dollar share (about 10%). The Virginia-coded Analyst slice is more numerous in rows relative to the national mix than it is heavy in dollars. That is arithmetic on two FEC columns. It is not evidence that Virginia analysts give more often than analysts in other states, and it is not a ranking of contractors.

Four hundred thirty Virginia donors produced 12,517 contributions, about 29 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 26 rows per donor nationally (95,588 contributions from 3,688 donors). Virginia holds about 10% of the $21,535,032 and about 13% of the contributions—slightly row-heavy relative to dollars. That pattern is the join, not a finding about contractor billing.

Analyst as a catch-all occupation

ANALYST can mean a financial analyst, a policy analyst, an intelligence analyst, a data analyst, or a consultant who used a short label. FINANCIAL ANALYST, POLICY ANALYST, and INTELLIGENCE ANALYST, if used, sit in other hubs. The $21,535,032 national total is this word only.

Three thousand six hundred eighty-eight donors produced 95,588 contributions. This page locates the Virginia overlap. It does not classify the 430 Virginia donors by sector.

Virginia as donor state

Four hundred thirty Virginia donors produced 12,517 contributions totaling $2,259,175. Donor state VA is the address on the record. Northern Virginia addresses are common in federal-contractor regions, but the FEC state code does not record employer or clearance status.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. Government Affairs, Developer, and Government Relations VA ties are other pages. Their dollars are not inside this $2,259,175.

Virginia’s state hub includes Government Affairs, Government Relations, Developer, and Economist ties. ANALYST is only this filter. The Analyst occupation hub without Virginia still holds about 90% of the $21,535,032. Longer titles such as FINANCIAL ANALYST, if used, sit elsewhere.

What not to infer

This join does not measure federal contracting, does not identify agencies, and does not claim that Analyst-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping match. Correlation is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions only. Unitemized receipts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

ANALYST does not record clearance, agency, or sector. Itemized individual contributions only. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. Federal contract dollars are USAspending data, not this FEC join, and this page does not mix those systems. Correlation is not causation.

What the Analyst–Virginia remainder is

Subtract the Virginia 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 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 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 Virginia dollars, or only the Analyst 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. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does Analyst mean intelligence or defense contractors?

The file does not say. ANALYST is the string the filer typed. The 430 Virginia donors used that label plus VA. They are not a contractor headcount and not a cleared-personnel list. Longer titles sit in other occupation buckets if filers used them.
