Broker political contributions from New York

How occupation Broker meets donor state New York

Occupation BROKER and donor state NY produce $3,053,284, 2,593 contributions, and 276 donors. The occupation hub is $11,582,453, 32,591 contributions, and 2,412 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 26.4%; contribution share about 8.0% (2,593 of 32,591); donor share about 11.4% (276 of 2,412). Two hundred seventy-six New York donors are about 11.4% of 2,412 national donors; 2,593 contributions are about 8.0% of 32,591 national rows; dollars are about 26.4% of $11,582,453.

STOCKBROKER, REAL ESTATE BROKER, and INSURANCE BROKER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Broker total. Do not stack BROKER with STOCKBROKER or REAL ESTATE BROKER into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

276 New York donors produced 2,593 contributions, about 9.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.5 rows per donor nationally (32,591 contributions from 2,412 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $1,178, against about $355 nationwide. New York’s about 26.4% dollar share runs well ahead of its about 11.4% donor share — a higher-mean slice of the national BROKER bucket.

BROKER as a one-word title bucket

BROKER is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify securities, real estate, or insurance, and it does not verify a New York license. The $11,582,453 national total is BROKER only. 2,412 donors produced 32,591 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 32,591 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). Two thousand four hundred twelve national donors make BROKER a many-person occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York as donor state

276 New York donors produced 2,593 contributions totaling $3,053,284. 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 license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,053,284.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only BROKER. The Broker occupation hub without New York still holds about 73.6% of the $11,582,453. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. BROKER is only this filter.

What not to infer from Broker plus New York

This page does not count licensed brokers, merge STOCKBROKER dollars, or claim that Broker-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. BROKER is not STOCKBROKER and not REAL ESTATE BROKER even when filers meant a licensed line. Investment Banking in New York is a different occupation-state pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BROKER is not a FINRA or real-estate license extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Broker filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national BROKER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BROKER in every other state combined. That remainder ($8,529,169) 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 276 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 2,593 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,053,284 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 BROKER national total, drops a key. Two hundred seventy-six donors producing 2,593 contributions totaling $3,053,284 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
