Candidate political contributions from Arkansas

Reading $596,571 as an intersection

$596,571 is the amount that survives both filters. The occupation filter is Candidate (CANDIDATE). The state filter is Arkansas (AR). FEC.gov itemized individual contributions supply the dollars, the 9 lines, and the 3 donors.

Because the grouping is typed, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate. Political candidate, nominee, officeholder, and campaign staff are other keys.

Use the occupation hub when the question is every state for Candidate. Use Arkansas campaign finance when the question is every string in AR. Use this tie when the question is both. Arkansas CANDIDATE is a three-donor cell. Michigan and Georgia Candidate joins keep their own contribution counts. The string is occupation text, not a committee ID.

National Candidate money versus Arkansas

Divide $596,571 by $16,508,299 and the result is 3.6%. The complementary share is 96.4%, or $15,911,728 outside Arkansas. Those two pieces add to the grouping total on FEC.gov as stored here.

$16,508,299 is not earnings, assets, or federal contract value. It is summed itemized individual contributions that matched CANDIDATE in any donor state in this table. Arkansas CANDIDATE is a three-donor cell. Michigan and Georgia Candidate joins keep their own contribution counts. The string is occupation text, not a committee ID.

$66,286 per contribution, $198,857 per donor

Per-gift mean $66,286 and per-donor mean $198,857 follow from $596,571, 9, and 3. About 3.0 itemized lines per donor is the third ratio. Report them as means, not as typical gifts.

Contributor identities can include people who listed CANDIDATE as occupation without a current job match. The FEC form is self-reported. Arkansas CANDIDATE is a three-donor cell. Michigan and Georgia Candidate joins keep their own contribution counts. The string is occupation text, not a committee ID.

Limits of the Candidate string in Arkansas

The string CANDIDATE is only as wide as the characters stored. Longer titles that contain extra words are other keys. Shorter abbreviations are other keys. A ballot-qualified candidate list, an FEC candidate-master file, or a campaign-payroll census would require a different extract.

Political candidate, nominee, officeholder, and campaign staff stay on their own occupation-state URLs. Mixing them into $596,571 would invent a sector total this packet does not contain. Arkansas CANDIDATE is a three-donor cell. Michigan and Georgia Candidate joins keep their own contribution counts. The string is occupation text, not a committee ID.

A clean footnote for CANDIDATE in AR

Footnote language that stays inside the packet: filers who stored occupation CANDIDATE and donor state AR itemized $596,571 (9 contributions, 3 donors; 3.6% of $16,508,299 nationally). Source: FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Leave federal versus state versus local candidacy as typed out of the footnote because it is unpublished. Leave named donors out because they are not in this packet. Leave federal awards out because they are a different dataset.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Open /occupations/candidate/ (Candidate donations) for the occupation hub, /states/AR/ (Arkansas campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.
