Associate political contributions from New York

Associate and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation ASSOCIATE and donor state NY produce $2,192,433, 4,815 contributions, and 232 donors. The occupation hub is $14,867,080, 55,072 contributions, and 2,045 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 14.7%; contribution share about 8.7% (4,815 of 55,072); donor share about 11.3% (232 of 2,045). Two hundred thirty-two New York donors are about 11.3% of 2,045 national donors; 4,815 contributions are about 8.7% of 55,072 national rows; dollars are about 14.7% of $14,867,080.

ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY, SALES ASSOCIATE, and ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Associate total. Do not stack ASSOCIATE with ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY or SALES ASSOCIATE into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

232 New York donors produced 4,815 contributions, about 20.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 26.9 rows per donor nationally (55,072 contributions from 2,045 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $455, against about $270 nationwide. New York’s about 14.7% dollar share from 232 people is a large-mean slice of a 2,045-donor occupation, not a verified law-firm headcount.

ASSOCIATE as a one-word rank string

ASSOCIATE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a law-firm class year, a retail job, or an academic title. The single word on the form is the filter. The $14,867,080 national total is ASSOCIATE only. 2,045 donors produced 55,072 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 55,072 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). Two thousand forty-five national donors make ASSOCIATE a mid-size bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York as the Associate address stamp

232 New York donors produced 4,815 contributions totaling $2,192,433. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York firm, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,192,433.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only ASSOCIATE. The Associate occupation hub without New York still holds about 85.3% of the $14,867,080. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. ASSOCIATE is only this filter.

What the Associate–New York join is not

This page does not count law-firm associates, merge Associate Attorney dollars, or claim that Associate-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. ASSOCIATE is not ASSOCIATE ATTORNEY even when filers meant a legal title.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. ASSOCIATE is not a law-firm associate roster. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Associate filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national ASSOCIATE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded ASSOCIATE in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,674,647) 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 232 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 4,815 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,192,433 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 ASSOCIATE national total, drops a key. Two hundred thirty-two donors producing 4,815 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,192,433 headline.

Associate donations holds the $14,867,080 national occupation total. New York 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 New York Lawyer and New York VP cells in this slice are other occupation strings.
