Artist political contributions from California

The Artist–California join in numbers

Occupation ARTIST and donor state CA together sum to $10,409,432, 54,602 contributions, and 1,293 donors. The occupation hub is $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. California’s share of dollars is 22.1%; of contributions, 22.4% (54,602 of 243,498); of donors, 20.1% (1,293 of 6,429).

1,293 California donors produced 54,602 contributions totaling $10,409,432. That is 22.1% of the $47,114,394 Artist occupation total. The leftover $36,704,962 is Artist-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California’s Artist cell ($10,409,432, 54,602 contributions, 1,293 donors) sits beside the national ARTIST total of $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. The leftover $36,704,962 is Artist-coded money from every other state. Do not add MUSICIAN or ACTOR California cells to this figure.

ARTIST as an occupation string, not a union roster

ARTIST is a short cultural label. MUSICIAN, WRITER, ACTOR, and DESIGNER, if used, never enter the $47,114,394 national total. Six thousand four hundred twenty-nine donors produced 243,498 contributions — a contribution-heavy occupation.

California’s 54,602 contributions from 1,293 donors are 22.4% of national Artist rows and 20.1% of donors, against 22.1% of dollars. Row share sits a little above dollar share. That is repeat itemization inside the California cell, not a ranking of arts scenes.

California on the Artist state side

1,293 California donors produced 54,602 contributions totaling $10,409,432. 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 ARTIST. MUSICIAN, WRITER, ACTOR, and DESIGNER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Artist donations without California still holds the remainder of the $47,114,394 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

A second large Artist state cell, still not the whole book

This page does not measure a California arts-employment survey or an NEA grant table, and it does not claim that Artist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

ARTIST fragments against MUSICIAN, WRITER, ACTOR, and DESIGNER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $47,114,394 or the $10,409,432. 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.

Reading Artist and California as two keys

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Artist occupation total and the difference is $36,704,962 still coded Artist in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Artist 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 Artist 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.
