Candidate political contributions from Georgia

Two keys: CANDIDATE and GA

The packet’s keys are literal: occupation string CANDIDATE, donor state GA. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $574,834, from 123 contributions and 12 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as a self-reported occupation. Free-text fields let filers write a longer title, a nearby spelling, or an employer instead. Those rows are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets. Neighbors include political candidate, nominee, officeholder, and campaign staff.

$574,834 is smaller than $16,508,299 because other states exist, and it is not a share of all Georgia giving because this packet has no state-wide occupation-blind denominator. The join is the point. Georgia CANDIDATE is twelve donors in this packet. Michigan and Arkansas Candidate joins are other URLs. Occupation CANDIDATE is not a candidate ID.

Candidate as typed, not a census

After this Georgia cell of $574,834, $15,933,465 of the Candidate grouping remains in other states. That remainder is 96.5% of $16,508,299. The Georgia page is not empty of other occupations; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No statewide all-occupation total is supplied, so no share of Georgia politics is claimed. 3.5% is Candidate-internal. Federal versus state versus local candidacy as typed is unpublished.

Means on $574,834

12 donors and 123 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 10.2 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$47,903 per donor and $4,673 per line are derived from $574,834. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. Federal versus state versus local candidacy as typed remains unpublished.

Dropping the Candidate filter

Dropping the Candidate filter returns the reader to the Georgia campaign-finance index. That index is not $574,834. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 123 contributions, 12 donors, $574,834.

No statewide all-occupation denominator is in the packet, so Candidate cannot be ranked as a percent of Georgia itemized giving. 3.5% remains a share of $16,508,299 only.

Keeping $574,834 attached to both keys

Keep both nouns in every citation: Candidate and Georgia. Dropping the state turns $574,834 into $16,508,299. Dropping the occupation turns this cell into the state hub, which this packet does not quantify as an all-occupation total.

Internal paths: /occupations/candidate/ for the occupation running total, /states/GA/ for the state without this title, /occupations/ for neighboring strings, /ties/ for other joins. Georgia CANDIDATE is twelve donors in this packet. Michigan and Arkansas Candidate joins are other URLs. Occupation CANDIDATE is not a candidate ID.

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.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation CANDIDATE ∩ state GA = $574,834, 123 receipts, 12 donors, 3.5% of $16,508,299. Neighbors remain political candidate, nominee, officeholder, and campaign staff. Source remains FEC.gov.

Questions

What did occupation CANDIDATE itemize from GA?

FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates show $574,834 from occupation Candidate with donor state GA. That join covers 123 contributions from 12 donors. Nationwide the occupation totals $16,508,299, so Georgia is about 3.5% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

What remainder of Candidate money sits outside Georgia?

About 3.5% of the $16,508,299 Candidate grouping is coded to Georgia: $574,834. Contribution share is about 1.7% (123 of 7,075). Donor share is about 2.9% (12 of 409). The remainder $15,933,465 is other states.

Does this page merge neighboring occupation strings?

No. 12 is the unique-donor count in this occupation–state cell as aggregated from itemized FEC lines, not a labor-market census. Mean gift in the cell is about $4,673 across 123 contributions. Political candidate, nominee, officeholder, and campaign staff , if stored separately, are other keys. This join is CANDIDATE only.

Is this the Candidate hub or the Georgia hub?

Candidate donations carry the $16,508,299 occupation total. Georgia campaign finance is the state hub. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the CANDIDATE × GA intersection only.
