Candidate political contributions from North Carolina

Candidate dollars that also carry North Carolina

Headline number: $743,222. Contribution count: 177. Donor keys: 18. Occupation total: $16,508,299. Remainder outside North Carolina: $15,765,077. Share of the occupation roll: 4.5%. Those quantities are the join. Everything else on this page explains what they are and are not.

Candidate in North Carolina is not Candidate in every state and is not North Carolina for every occupation. Mixing those frames is how a hub restatement sneaks in. 18 donor keys and $743,222 exist only at the intersection. An occupation string does not mean the money funded federal contracts, and it does not mean the title caused the gifts.

CANDIDATE here is an occupation string on individual contribution receipts, not a candidate-committee ID. People who listed Candidate as their job title sit in this bucket. It is not a list of people on a ballot. Independent expenditures are omitted. USAspending awards are a different statute. Quote $743,222 as itemized individual receipts tagged CANDIDATE and NC.

Reading the Candidate occupation denominator

$16,508,299 is the Candidate occupation book in this extract — every state harvested for this string. North Carolina contributes $743,222 (4.5%). The packet does not split the occupation total by party, and this page does not invent that split.

Candidate pages still include other states. The North Carolina hub still includes other occupations. This join keeps both nouns in the sentence: Candidate and North Carolina. Occupation is the string on the receipt, not a Bureau of Labor Statistics code and not a license class.

Donor state NC is an FEC field

FEC.gov stores donor state as a two-letter code. This extract uses NC for North Carolina. Military and overseas codes, if present in the broader file, are other keys. This cell is NC only. $743,222 does not include a donor who listed a different state even if the occupation string matched.

Amended reports can recode a donor’s state. If a later overlay disagrees with $743,222, the live North Carolina campaign finance page and the live Candidate donations page control. This JSON file is a snapshot of packet facts.

What 18 Candidate donors represent

18 is a donor-record count. $743,222 is a dollar sum. $41,290 is their ratio. None of those is a unique-person census of the occupation in North Carolina. None is a median. None is a party split. The packet did not include those fields, so this page does not publish them.

Omitted from $743,222: independent expenditures, non-individual PAC spending as a separate total, unitemized tables below the itemization threshold, and USAspending obligations. Omitted from the occupation comparison: any occupation other than CANDIDATE, except as context that sibling strings exist.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

USAspending publishes federal obligations by agency and place. FEC publishes campaign finance. $743,222 does not become an award total because a state appears in both systems. $16,508,299 does not become an award total because an occupation string can be compared with a NAICS title in a researcher’s head. This page never claims receipts funded federal awards.

Internal links remain the four packet hrefs only. No other path is cited. Independent expenditures remain outside the dollar columns used here. CANDIDATE here is an occupation string on individual contribution receipts, not a candidate-committee ID. People who listed Candidate as their job title sit in this bucket. It is not a list of people on a ballot.

Why this page is not a Candidate directory

This page is not a directory of Candidate professionals in North Carolina, not a membership list, and not a ballot extract, an FEC candidate-master file, or a Secretary of State roster. 18 is a donor-key count inside one FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title never appear in $743,222.

The four packet links are the only hrefs used: Candidate donations, North Carolina campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties. No other URL is cited. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Candidate, donor state North Carolina (NC), $743,222 itemized, 177 contributions, 18 donors, 4.5% of $16,508,299. CANDIDATE here is an occupation string on individual contribution receipts, not a candidate-committee ID. People who listed Candidate as their job title sit in this bucket. It is not a list of people on a ballot. Officeholder, Politician, Public Official, and Retired Candidate stay on other occupation pages. The North Carolina campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Is $16,508,299 the amount Candidate filers gave in North Carolina?

No. $16,508,299 is the occupation total across harvested states. Candidate’s North Carolina cell is $743,222. Other states hold $15,765,077. Use the occupation hub for the national figure and this tie page for the North Carolina slice only. Source: FEC.gov.

Why does this page exist if occupation and state hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers Candidate across states ($16,508,299). The state hub answers North Carolina across occupations. This tie answers only Candidate inside North Carolina: $743,222, 177 gifts, 18 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $743,222?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not CANDIDATE or whose donor state was not NC. Sibling titles such as Officeholder, Politician, Public Official, and Retired Candidate are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-state aggregates.
