Architect political contributions from Massachusetts

Architect and Massachusetts as a high-row occupation-state cell

Occupation ARCHITECT and donor state MA produce $2,154,540, 14,052 contributions, and 326 donors. The occupation hub is $31,910,255, 145,938 contributions, and 6,228 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (6.8%, 9.6%, 5.2%). Massachusetts tracks the national Architect mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Massachusetts Architect contribution share sits well above the dollar and donor shares on high rows per donor.

Architect is a licensable-looking title stored as text, not a board roster. Nearby strings — ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER, and LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,154,540 or $31,910,255. Firm names and project lists are not in these six numbers.

326 Massachusetts donors produced 14,052 contributions, about 43.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.4 rows per donor nationally (145,938 contributions from 6,228 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Massachusetts cell are about $6,609, versus about $5,124 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

ARCHITECT as a stored title, not an RA recode

ARCHITECT is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify RA licensure or NCARB certification. The national grouping is 6,228 donors, 145,938 contributions, and $31,910,255.

145,938 contributions from 6,228 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Massachusetts’s 14,052 contributions from 326 donors is the MA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Massachusetts.

Three hundred twenty-six Massachusetts Architect donors

326 Massachusetts donors produced 14,052 contributions totaling $2,154,540. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts professional license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only ARCHITECT. Subtract $2,154,540 from $31,910,255 and $29,755,715 remains coded Architect in every other state combined (131,886 contributions, 5,902 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Nearly ten percent of rows against a smaller dollar share

This page does not measure architect output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Architect-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Massachusetts Board of Registration of Architects extract, not an AIA membership roll, and not a firm billings ranking.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MA is not recipient geography.

Architecture titles that stay unmerged

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 $2,154,540, 14,052 contributions, and 326 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Massachusetts dollars, or only the Architect national total, drops a key.

Architect donations holds the $31,910,255 national occupation total. Massachusetts 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. ARCHITECTURE, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

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. Firm names and project lists are not in these six numbers.
