Banking political contributions from New Jersey

Donors who listed their occupation as Banking and their state as New Jersey account for $534,069 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That New Jersey slice covers 1,776 contributions from 105 donors. Nationwide, the Banking occupation grouping totals $9,515,899 across 23,376 contributions and 1,544 donors. This page joins those two FEC fields. Banking is not merged here with Investment Banking or Banker.

Key figures

  • New Jersey Banking-coded donors account for $534,069, 1,776 contributions, and 105 donors.
  • The national Banking total is $9,515,899 from 1,544 donors and 23,376 contributions—about 5.6% of those dollars are in this New Jersey join.
  • BANKING is not merged with INVESTMENT BANKING in these aggregates.
  • An NJ donor-state code does not mean the funds supported New Jersey committees.

Banking intersected with New Jersey

Occupation BANKING and donor state NJ together produce $534,069, 1,776 contributions, and 105 donors. The occupation nationwide is $9,515,899, 23,376 contributions, and 1,544 donors. New Jersey holds about 5.6% of Banking-coded dollars, about 7.6% of Banking-coded contribution rows, and about 6.8% of Banking-coded donors.

Row share and donor share run a little ahead of dollar share. New Jersey is slightly more present in Banking headcount and line volume than in Banking dollars. That is the opposite of dollar-concentrated joins. The national Banking hub still mixes every other state. The New Jersey hub still mixes Plumber, Producer, and every other occupation.

One hundred five New Jersey donors and 1,776 contribution rows produced $534,069 under BANKING. The occupation side is $9,515,899, 23,376 contributions, and 1,544 donors. About 5.6% of dollars, about 6.8% of donors, and about 7.6% of rows: New Jersey is slightly line-heavy relative to dollars on this sector-word-used-as-a-job. INVESTMENT BANKING is a different string. BANKER, if filed, is another bucket. The 1,776 New Jersey rows stay inside BANKING as typed.

BANKING as a sector word used as a job

BANKING is an industry term typed into the occupation field. BANKER, INVESTMENT BANKING, and FINANCIAL ANALYST are other pages. This join does not merge them. The national totals—$9,515,899 from 1,544 donors and 23,376 contributions—are the labeled set, not a roster of bank employees.

Twenty-three thousand three hundred seventy-six contribution rows from 1,544 donors imply repeat itemized giving in the national file. New Jersey’s 1,776 rows from 105 donors sit inside that pattern at about 7.6% of national line volume.

One hundred five New Jersey donors

One hundred five New Jersey donors produced 1,776 contributions totaling $534,069. Other New Jersey occupations are excluded. Banking receipts from other states fill the remainder of $9,515,899.

NJ is the contributor state. It does not prove a New Jersey bank charter, a Wall Street commute, or a New Jersey federal recipient. The $534,069 is not mapped onto New Jersey races here.

New Jersey’s 105 Banking-coded donors and 1,776 contributions sit inside 1,544 national donors and 23,376 national contributions. The $534,069 is BANKING, not INVESTMENT BANKING.

Investment Banking is a different Connecticut join

A Connecticut Investment Banking page, if published, uses INVESTMENT BANKING, not BANKING, and a different state. Those facts cannot be stacked with $534,069 into a “mid-Atlantic finance” total. Each occupation string keeps its own national ceiling—here, $9,515,899.

Stay inside this pair: $534,069, 1,776 contributions, 105 donors against $9,515,899, 23,376 contributions, 1,544 donors.

A sector word used as a job, with New Jersey slightly line-heavy

New Jersey’s Banking join is $534,069 from 105 donors and 1,776 contributions against $9,515,899 from 1,544 donors and 23,376 contributions nationwide. About 5.6% of dollars, about 6.8% of donors, and about 7.6% of rows: New Jersey is slightly more present in Banking line volume than in Banking money. That is a mild tilt, not a row factory.

BANKING is not BANKER and not INVESTMENT BANKING. A Connecticut Investment Banking page uses a different occupation string and a different national total. Adding those labels to $534,069 invents a finance super-total. The 1,544 national donors and 105 New Jersey donors are whoever typed BANKING.

Plumber and Producer share New Jersey on other ties. They are not this occupation. Itemized individual receipts only. See Banking donations, New Jersey campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

What the relationship is not

This page does not say banks fund New Jersey elections, and it does not equate FEC individual contributions with federal contracts. Two FEC columns met. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. See Banking donations, New Jersey campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.
