Artist political contributions from New Jersey

The Artist–New Jersey intersection

Occupation ARTIST and donor state NJ produce $1,139,355, 4,327 contributions, and 146 donors. The occupation hub is $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 2.4%; contribution share about 1.8% (4,327 of 243,498); donor share about 2.3% (146 of 6,429). One hundred forty-six New Jersey donors are 2.3% of 6,429 national ARTIST donors. Dollars ($1,139,355 of $47,114,394) are about 2.4%; contributions (4,327 of 243,498) about 1.8%.

PAINTER, MUSICIAN, and SCULPTOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack ARTIST with PAINTER or MUSICIAN into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

146 New Jersey donors produced 4,327 contributions, about 29.6 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 New Jersey cell is about $263, against about $193 nationwide. New Jersey’s higher mean with a lower row share is the inverse of Connecticut’s row-heavy Artist cell. About 29.6 rows per donor here versus about 37.9 nationally.

ARTIST receipts with a New Jersey address

ARTIST is a filer-entered string. The file does not split visual, performing, or commercial art. The word ARTIST plus NJ 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 New Jersey (NJ). This page locates the New Jersey overlap. It does not name studios among the 146 New Jersey donors.

New Jersey as donor state

146 New Jersey donors produced 4,327 contributions totaling $1,139,355. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey studio and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. A donor can work in New York and still file NJ.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only ARTIST. The Artist occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 97.6% of the $47,114,394. New Jersey’s state hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. ARTIST is only this filter.

What not to infer from Artist plus New Jersey

This page does not merge Painter dollars, count union members, or claim that Artist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ARTIST is not PAINTER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $1,139,355.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ARTIST is not an arts-union roster. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Studio names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Artist filter

Subtract the New Jersey 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 ($45,975,039) 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 146 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 4,327 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,139,355 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the ARTIST national total, drops a key. One hundred forty-six donors producing 4,327 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,139,355 headline.

Artist donations holds the $47,114,394 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Connecticut’s Artist join is more row-heavy; Pennsylvania’s has more dollars. Do not add those cells here.
