Banker political contributions from California

Banker and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation BANKER and donor state CA produce $3,704,795, 15,014 contributions, and 666 donors. The occupation hub is $58,732,088, 145,114 contributions, and 10,578 donors. California’s dollar share is about 6.3%; contribution share about 10.3% (15,014 of 145,114); donor share about 6.3% (666 of 10,578). Six hundred sixty-six California donors are about 6.3% of 10,578 national donors; 15,014 contributions are about 10.3% of 145,114 national rows; dollars are about 6.3% of $58,732,088.

BANKING, INVESTMENT BANKER, and FINANCE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Banker total. Do not stack BANKER with BANKING or INVESTMENT BANKER into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

666 California donors produced 15,014 contributions, about 22.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.7 rows per donor nationally (145,114 contributions from 10,578 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $247, against about $405 nationwide. California’s about 10.3% contribution share runs ahead of dollar share (about 6.3%) inside a $58,732,088 occupation.

BANKER as a one-word professional string

BANKER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a charter, a Series 7, or an employer. The $58,732,088 national total is BANKER only. 10,578 donors produced 145,114 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 145,114 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Ten thousand five hundred seventy-eight national donors make BANKER a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

666 California donors produced 15,014 contributions totaling $3,704,795. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California bank, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,704,795.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only BANKER. The Banker occupation hub without California still holds about 93.7% of the $58,732,088. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. BANKER is only this filter.

What the Banker join is not

This page does not merge Banking dollars, count charters, or claim that Banker-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. BANKER is not BANKING even when filers meant the same desk.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BANKER is not an FDIC charter roster. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Banker filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national BANKER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BANKER in every other state combined. That remainder ($55,027,293) 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 666 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 15,014 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,704,795 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the BANKER national total, drops a key. Six hundred sixty-six donors producing 15,014 contributions totaling $3,704,795 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Banker donations holds the $58,732,088 national occupation total. California 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. BANKING is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
