Artist political contributions from District of Columbia

Artist and District of Columbia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ARTIST and donor state DC produce $1,460,318, 1,033 contributions, and 66 donors. The occupation hub is $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 3.1%; contribution share about 0.4% (1,033 of 243,498); donor share about 1.0% (66 of 6,429). Sixty-six District of Columbia donors are about 1.0% of 6,429 national donors; 1,033 contributions are about 0.4% of 243,498 national rows; dollars are about 3.1% of $47,114,394.

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

66 District of Columbia donors produced 1,033 contributions, about 15.7 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 District of Columbia cell is about $1,414, against about $193 nationwide. The District’s about 3.1% dollar share from 66 people runs far ahead of the 0.4% contribution share — a large-mean slice unlike Colorado’s 7,478-row Artist cell.

ARTIST as a creative-title 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 District of Columbia (DC). Six thousand four hundred twenty-nine national donors make ARTIST a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state DC.

District of Columbia as the donor-state code

66 District of Columbia donors produced 1,033 contributions totaling $1,460,318. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a District studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,460,318.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only ARTIST. The Artist occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 96.9% of the $47,114,394. The District’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. ARTIST is only this filter.

What the Artist–District of Columbia join is not

This page does not count working artists, merge musician 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 MUSICIAN even when one person used both titles on different forms. This cell is not the Colorado 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 DC is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Medium and gallery names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one District Artist filter

Subtract the District of Columbia 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 ($45,654,076) 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 66 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 1,033 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,460,318 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the District of Columbia dollars, or only the ARTIST national total, drops a key. Sixty-six donors producing 1,033 contributions totaling $1,460,318 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Artist donations holds the $47,114,394 national occupation total. District of Columbia 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. Colorado has a separate Artist occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
