Artist contributions received by ACTBLUE

$8,893,829 in itemized individual contributions is the join between occupation ARTIST and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 212,917 contributions on FEC.gov. The occupation grouping totals $47,114,394 ($47.1 million) across all recipients, so this committee is 18.9% of that labeled money.

Key figures

  • The Artist occupation grouping totals $47,114,394, so this committee is 18.9% of that labeled money.
  • About $42 per contribution is the mean of 212,917 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • The join is an FEC occupation–committee intersection, not corporate treasury spending and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Artist occupation text meeting ActBlue as a conduit

ARTIST is the occupation string as stored. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. FEC.gov does not verify exhibitions, medium, or union status against the title. Matching rows sum to $8,893,829 across 212,917 contributions. The occupation hub is $47,114,394 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Artist. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

More than 200,000 itemized lines at a two-digit mean is a thick creative-title conduit cell. This committee holds a larger share of the Artist book than of many nine-figure occupation keys. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed ARTIST; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.

Painter, Illustrator, and Musician are other keys if stored separately. Artist holds the occupation-wide $47,114,394. ACTBLUE holds committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Musician, Actor, and Designer receipts on C00401224 sit on sibling pages in this batch. Do not stack creative titles into one arts total.

Nearly a fifth of the Artist grouping

The Artist occupation grouping shows $47,114,394 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $8,893,829, or 18.9% of that total. The remaining $38,220,565 (81.1%) went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.

Artist keeps the $47,114,394 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a gallery census, a union membership file, or a publisher PAC.

A high-count ActBlue cell under a creative title

ACTBLUE received $8,893,829 from Artist-coded receipts across 212,917 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $42 per contribution. 212,917 lines are not 212,917 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $8,893,829 total. Musician, Actor, and Designer receipts on C00401224 sit on sibling pages in this batch. Do not stack creative titles into one arts total.

Artist is not a union roster

A 18.9% share of Artist-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. A larger share of a smaller occupation book is not proof that artists are more political than other titles. Candidate committees absorbed much of the remainder. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Quote $8,893,829 as 18.9% of $47,114,394 into C00401224, with 212,917 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 212,917 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. Painter, Illustrator, and Musician are other keys if stored separately.

How to cite Artist × C00401224

A complete claim names Artist and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $8,893,829, 212,917 contributions, and 18.9% of $47,114,394, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $38,220,565 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

Mean gift $42 is $8,893,829 divided by 212,917 lines. It is not a typical check and not a contribution limit. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $8,893,829 to $47,114,394. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages.
