Architect political contributions from Colorado

Colorado filtered to Architect

Apply the Architect filter to donor state Colorado and the remaining money is $618,133. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 2,002 contributions and 130 donors. The occupation overlay lists the national rows; this file explains the relationship.

Architect is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 130 unique donors matched the stored string with a CO address. Repeat gifts can raise 2,002 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The national Architect total of $31,910,255 still includes other states. Citing $31,910,255 as if it were Colorado would overstate this cell. Citing the Colorado hub as if it were Architect-only would overstate the state. Colorado Architect is a separate join from Connecticut Architect. ARCHITECT is the stored string. Firm names are unpublished.

1.9% of the Architect roll

1.9% of stored Architect money is tagged CO ($618,133). 98.1% is not ($31,292,122). Both percentages use $31,910,255 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the state-by-state index. This tie isolates Colorado so $31,910,255 is not mistaken for a one-state number. Architecture, architectural designer, AIA, and landscape architect are omitted from both figures.

How 130 donors produced 2,002 gifts

Contribution count (2,002) and donor count (130) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $618,133 is their dollar sum. This is a small cell.

If a searcher wants names, this JSON file reports 130 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Donor state CO is an address field, not a workplace census.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $618,133. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a state does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not a Colorado architecture-board roster, an AIA chapter census, or a firm payroll.

Correlation between an occupation string and a donor state is not causation. The records show a text match, an address code, 130 donors, and 2,002 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Using the Architect and Colorado hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-state questions for ARCHITECT. The Colorado hub answers every-occupation questions for that address code. This tie answers the both-filters question: $618,133, 2,002 receipts, 130 donors, 1.9% of $31,910,255.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Architect donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation ARCHITECT ∩ state CO = $618,133, 2,002 receipts, 130 donors, 1.9% of $31,910,255. Neighbors remain architecture, architectural designer, AIA, and landscape architect. Source remains FEC.gov.
