Board Member political contributions from California

Board Member and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation BOARD MEMBER and donor state CA produce $2,040,572, 2,063 contributions, and 117 donors. The occupation hub is $8,057,226, 7,878 contributions, and 873 donors. California’s dollar share is about 25.3%; contribution share about 26.2% (2,063 of 7,878); donor share about 13.4% (117 of 873). One hundred seventeen California donors are about 13.4% of 873 national donors; 2,063 contributions are about 26.2% of 7,878 national rows; dollars are about 25.3% of $8,057,226.

DIRECTOR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, and CHAIRMAN AND CEO, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Board Member total. Do not stack BOARD MEMBER with DIRECTOR or CHAIRMAN AND CEO into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

117 California donors produced 2,063 contributions, about 17.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 9.0 rows per donor nationally (7,878 contributions from 873 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $989, against about $1,023 nationwide. California’s about 25.3% dollar share from 117 people is a high-mean slice of an 873-donor occupation, not a nonprofit-board census.

BOARD MEMBER as a two-word governance string

BOARD MEMBER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a board seat, a public-company filing, or a nonprofit Form 990. The two-word title on the form is the filter. The $8,057,226 national total is BOARD MEMBER only. 873 donors produced 7,878 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 7,878 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Eight hundred seventy-three national donors make BOARD MEMBER a small occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as the Board Member state stamp

117 California donors produced 2,063 contributions totaling $2,040,572. 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 board, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,040,572.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only BOARD MEMBER. The Board Member occupation hub without California still holds about 74.7% of the $8,057,226. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. BOARD MEMBER is only this filter.

What the Board Member–California join is not

This page does not count board seats, merge Chairman and CEO dollars, or claim that Board Member-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. BOARD MEMBER is not CHAIRMAN AND CEO. This slice’s California Chairman and CEO cell is a different pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BOARD MEMBER is not a Form 990 officer extract. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Organization names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Board Member filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national BOARD MEMBER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BOARD MEMBER in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,016,654) 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 117 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 2,063 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,040,572 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 BOARD MEMBER national total, drops a key. One hundred seventeen donors producing 2,063 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,040,572 headline.

Related tables

Board Member donations holds the $8,057,226 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. California Chairman and CEO in this slice is a different occupation string; those 272 contributions stay there.
