Architect political contributions from Washington

Architect and Washington as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ARCHITECT and donor state WA produce $1,239,114, 5,427 contributions, and 193 donors. The occupation hub is $31,910,255, 145,938 contributions, and 6,228 donors. Washington’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 3.7% (5,427 of 145,938); donor share about 3.1% (193 of 6,228). One hundred ninety-three Washington donors are about 3.1% of 6,228 national donors; 5,427 contributions are about 3.7% of 145,938 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $31,910,255.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, DESIGNER, and ARCHITECTURE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Architect total. Do not stack ARCHITECT with LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT or DESIGNER into a single Washington professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

193 Washington donors produced 5,427 contributions, about 28.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23.4 rows per donor nationally (145,938 contributions from 6,228 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Washington cell is about $228, against about $219 nationwide. Washington’s about 3.9% share of $31,910,255 tracks the national mix on a 145,938-row occupation.

ARCHITECT as a professional-title string

ARCHITECT is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Washington architecture license, an AIA card, or a project list. The word on the form is the filter. The $31,910,255 national total is ARCHITECT only. 6,228 donors produced 145,938 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 145,938 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Washington (WA). Six thousand two hundred twenty-eight national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state WA.

Washington on the state side

193 Washington donors produced 5,427 contributions totaling $1,239,114. Donor state WA is the address on the record, not proof of a Washington license, and not a limit to Washington candidates. WA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Washington stamp, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,239,114.

The Washington campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WA. This join is only ARCHITECT. The Architect occupation hub without Washington still holds about 96.1% of the $31,910,255. Washington’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to WA. ARCHITECT is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count licensed architects, merge landscape-architect dollars, or claim that Architect-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ARCHITECT is not SOFTWARE ARCHITECT even when filers meant a systems title.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ARCHITECT is not a licensing-board extract. Donor state WA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Architect filter

Subtract the Washington dollars on this page from the national ARCHITECT occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ARCHITECT in every other state combined. That remainder ($30,671,141) 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 193 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 5,427 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,239,114 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Washington dollars, or only the ARCHITECT national total, drops a key. One hundred ninety-three donors producing 5,427 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,239,114 headline.

Architect donations holds the $31,910,255 national occupation total. Washington 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. Washington also has Developer, Business, and Financial Advisor occupation-state ties.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Washington. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,239,114 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to WA; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
