Author political contributions from New York

Author and New York as a dollar-heavy join

Occupation AUTHOR and state NY produce $11,214,780, 5,818 contributions, and 176 donors. The occupation nationwide is $19,237,050, 53,599 contributions, and 1,158 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 58%. Contribution share is about 11% (5,818 of 53,599). Donor share is about 15% (176 of 1,158).

Most of the occupation’s money and a small slice of its rows are NY-coded. Writer is a different occupation string with its own New York join. The two titles must stay apart: this page’s 176 donors used Author.

Author–New York is a dollar majority with a small row share: $11,214,780 of $19,237,050 (about 58%), 5,818 of 53,599 contributions (about 11%), 176 of 1,158 donors (about 15%). Most of the labeled money and about one-ninth of the labeled rows are NY-coded. WRITER is a different occupation string with its own New York join; this page’s 176 donors used Author. Mixing the two would invent a literary-occupations total. Five thousand eight hundred eighteen contributions from 176 donors is repeat itemization on the people who are in this cell. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. The Author hub holds $19,237,050 from 1,158 donors. The New York hub holds every occupation coded to NY. Independent expenditures are excluded.

Author as a national occupation grouping

AUTHOR is filer-entered. Writer is a different bucket when filers used that word. This Author grouping is 1,158 donors, 53,599 contributions, and $19,237,050.

Fifty-three thousand contributions from 1,158 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New York’s 5,818 contributions from 176 donors is the NY-coded piece, not a publishers’ catalog or a bestseller list.

New York donor-state receipts

The NY side is $11,214,780 from 5,818 contributions and 176 donors. Donor state is the address on the record. Recipients may be committees anywhere in the FEC system.

New York campaign finance overall includes Writer, Philanthropist, and Lawyer. This tie isolates Author. Adding Writer–New York dollars would invent a combined literary total that is not a fact here.

What 58% of Author dollars does not mean

A New York majority of Author-coded campaign receipts does not show that publishing caused electoral outcomes, and it does not rank New York as a more literary city. Occupation plus state is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Author New York as a dollar-majority, row-minority join

Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Author donations and New York campaign finance are the parent hubs. All occupations and all FEC ties keep Writer-state joins on other URLs. Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page uses AUTHOR, not WRITER, which is a separate New York occupation-state join. Occupation AUTHOR and donor state NY produce the $11,214,780 from 5,818 contributions and 176 donors. Those figures sit inside $19,237,050 from 1,158 donors and 53,599 contributions, distinct from Writer. Those New York Author totals remain itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov, not independent expenditures and not a merge with the Writer occupation string.
