Architect political contributions from California

Architect and California as a fifth of the occupation book

Occupation ARCHITECT and donor state CA together sum to $6,672,223, 31,469 contributions, and 1,156 donors. The occupation hub is $31,910,255, 145,938 contributions, and 6,228 donors. California’s share of dollars is 20.9%; of contributions, 21.6% (31,469 of 145,938); of donors, 18.6% (1,156 of 6,228).

1,156 California donors produced 31,469 contributions totaling $6,672,223. That is 20.9% of the $31,910,255 Architect occupation total. The leftover $25,238,032 is Architect-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California Architect-coded donors produced 31,469 itemized rows totaling $6,672,223, about 27 rows per donor versus about 23 nationally. The leftover $25,238,032 is ARCHITECT in every other state. Do not add DESIGNER California cells to this figure.

ARCHITECT as a professional title, not a license file

ARCHITECT is a professional title as typed. ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, and DESIGNER, if used, sit in other hubs. Six thousand two hundred twenty-eight donors produced 145,938 contributions totaling $31,910,255 — a contribution-heavy occupation.

California’s 31,469 contributions are 21.6% of national Architect rows; 1,156 donors are 18.6%; dollars are 20.9%. Row share sits a little above dollar share. Repeat itemization in the California cell explains that gap.

One thousand one hundred fifty-six California Architect donors

1,156 California donors produced 31,469 contributions totaling $6,672,223. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only ARCHITECT. ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, and DESIGNER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Architect donations without California still holds the remainder of the $31,910,255 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Twenty-one percent of dollars on a high-row title

This page does not measure a California Architects Board license extract, and it does not claim that Architect-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

ARCHITECT fragments against ARCHITECTURE, LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, and DESIGNER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $31,910,255 or the $6,672,223. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Design titles that stay unmerged

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Architect occupation total and the difference is $25,238,032 still coded Architect in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Architect donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties 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 California dollars, or only the Architect 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.

Hubs for Architect and California

Architect donations holds the $31,910,255 national occupation total and the 6,228-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Questions

How much have Architect donors in California contributed?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Architect and state California total $6,672,223, from 31,469 contributions and 1,156 donors. Nationwide, Architect-coded receipts are $31,910,255 from 145,938 contributions and 6,228 donors. California is 20.9% of those dollars. Source: FEC.gov.

Are these licensed California architects?

The FEC file does not verify licenses. Occupation is ARCHITECT and state is CA. The 1,156 California donors produced $6,672,223 across 31,469 contributions. LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, if typed, may sit in another bucket. This is not a California Architects Board roster. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov.

What share of Architect FEC money is from California?

California holds 20.9% of the $31,910,255 occupation total ($6,672,223). California also accounts for 21.6% of contributions (31,469 of 145,938) and 18.6% of donors (1,156 of 6,228). ARCHITECT is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for California races only?

No. Donor state is California. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $6,672,223 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 31,469 contributions and 1,156 donors are the ARCHITECT-and-CA overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
