Artist political contributions from Colorado

Artist and Colorado as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ARTIST and donor state CO produce $1,408,528, 7,478 contributions, and 181 donors. The occupation hub is $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. Colorado’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 3.1% (7,478 of 243,498); donor share about 2.8% (181 of 6,429). One hundred eighty-one Colorado donors are about 2.8% of 6,429 national donors; 7,478 contributions are about 3.1% of 243,498 national rows; dollars are about 3.0% of $47,114,394.

MUSICIAN, PAINTER, WRITER, and PHOTOGRAPHER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Artist total. Do not stack ARTIST with MUSICIAN or PHOTOGRAPHER into a single Colorado professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

181 Colorado donors produced 7,478 contributions, about 41.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 37.9 rows per donor nationally (243,498 contributions from 6,429 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Colorado cell is about $188, against about $193 nationwide. Colorado’s about 3.0% dollar share from 7,478 rows is a high-repeat slice unlike the District’s 1,033-row, 66-donor Artist cell.

ARTIST as a Colorado creative string

ARTIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a gallery, a union card, or a medium. One word on the form is the filter. The $47,114,394 national total is ARTIST only. 6,429 donors produced 243,498 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 243,498 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Colorado (CO). Two hundred forty-three thousand four hundred ninety-eight national contributions make ARTIST a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CO.

Colorado as the Artist state stamp

181 Colorado donors produced 7,478 contributions totaling $1,408,528. Donor state CO is the address on the record, not proof of a Colorado license, and not a limit to Colorado candidates. CO is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Colorado studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,408,528.

The Colorado campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CO. This join is only ARTIST. The Artist occupation hub without Colorado still holds about 97.0% of the $47,114,394. Colorado’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CO. ARTIST is only this filter.

What the Artist–Colorado join is not

This page does not count working artists, add District of Columbia Artist dollars, or claim that Artist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ARTIST is not PHOTOGRAPHER even when filers meant a visual practice. This cell is not the District of Columbia Artist pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ARTIST is not a guild extract. Donor state CO is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Medium and gallery names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Colorado Artist filter

Subtract the Colorado dollars on this page from the national ARTIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ARTIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($45,705,866) 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 181 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 7,478 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,408,528 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Colorado dollars, or only the ARTIST national total, drops a key. One hundred eighty-one donors producing 7,478 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,408,528 headline.

Related tables

Artist donations holds the $47,114,394 national occupation total. Colorado 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. The District of Columbia has a separate Artist occupation-state tie in this same slice; those 1,033 contributions are a different pair.
