Artist and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ARTIST and donor state NY together sum to $10,445,563, 41,144 contributions, and 1,185 donors. The occupation hub is $47,114,394, 243,498 contributions, and 6,429 donors. New York’s share of dollars is 22.2%; of contributions, 16.9% (41,144 of 243,498); of donors, 18.4% (1,185 of 6,429).

1,185 New York donors produced 41,144 contributions totaling $10,445,563. That is 22.2% of the $47,114,394 Artist occupation total. The leftover $36,668,831 is Artist-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

New York’s 1,185 Artist-coded donors produced 41,144 contributions totaling $10,445,563, about 35 itemized rows per donor in this join, near the national Artist ratio of about 38 rows per donor. The occupation is contribution-dense; New York holds 22.2% of the $47,114,394 rather than the whole book.

ARTIST as a short cultural occupation string

ARTIST is whatever the filer typed. It can include painters, musicians, performers, and people who preferred a short label to MUSICIAN, WRITER, ACTOR, and DESIGNER. Those other strings, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. The $47,114,394 national total is the ARTIST bucket only.

Six thousand four hundred twenty-nine donors producing 243,498 contributions implies frequent repeat itemization nationwide. New York participates: 41,144 contributions from 1,185 people, 16.9% of rows and 18.4% of donors against 22.2% of dollars.

One thousand one hundred eighty-five New York Artist donors

1,185 New York donors produced 41,144 contributions totaling $10,445,563. Donor state NY is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a New York workplace, and not a limit to New York candidates.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. 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 NY state code.

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

About a fifth of occupation dollars on a high-row label

This page does not measure a museum membership roll or a ranking of arts scenes, 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 $10,445,563. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the New York dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Cultural titles that stay in other buckets

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national Artist occupation total and the difference is $36,668,831 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; New York 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 New York 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.
