Candidate political contributions from Oregon

Candidate and Oregon as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CANDIDATE and donor state OR produce $943,091, 112 contributions, and 4 donors. The occupation hub is $16,508,299, 7,075 contributions, and 409 donors. Oregon’s dollar share is about 5.7%; contribution share about 1.6% (112 of 7,075); donor share about 1.0% (4 of 409). Four Oregon donors are about 1.0% of 409 national donors; 112 contributions are about 1.6% of 7,075 national rows; dollars are about 5.7% of $16,508,299.

POLITICAL CANDIDATE, OFFICEHOLDER, and CAMPAIGN, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Candidate total. Do not stack CANDIDATE with OFFICEHOLDER or CAMPAIGN into a single Oregon professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

4 Oregon donors produced 112 contributions, about 28.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 17.3 rows per donor nationally (7,075 contributions from 409 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Oregon cell is about $8,420, against about $2,333 nationwide. Oregon’s about 5.7% dollar share from 4 people is a concentrated slice of a thin occupation, distinct from the New Jersey Candidate cell.

CANDIDATE without a New Jersey overlay

CANDIDATE is a filer-entered string. The national occupation hub is the same $16,508,299 book. This page filters donor state OR. Four unique donors is not an Oregon candidate directory. The $16,508,299 national total is CANDIDATE only. 409 donors produced 7,075 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 7,075 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Oregon (OR). Four hundred nine national donors make this a small occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state OR.

Oregon on the state side

4 Oregon donors produced 112 contributions totaling $943,091. Donor state OR is the address on the record, not proof of a Oregon license, and not a limit to Oregon candidates. OR is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Oregon ballot line, and not a map of which campaigns received the $943,091.

The Oregon campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OR. This join is only CANDIDATE. The Candidate occupation hub without Oregon still holds about 94.3% of the $16,508,299. Oregon’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OR. CANDIDATE is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not add the New Jersey cell into this total, list ballot-qualified candidates, or claim that Candidate-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. The New Jersey Candidate join is a different pair with different state totals. Do not stack the two cells.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CANDIDATE is not a ballot extract. Donor state OR is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Office sought is not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Oregon Candidate filter

Subtract the Oregon dollars on this page from the national CANDIDATE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CANDIDATE in every other state combined. That remainder ($15,565,208) 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 4 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 112 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $943,091 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Oregon dollars, or only the CANDIDATE national total, drops a key. Four donors producing 112 contributions totaling $943,091 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Candidate donations holds the $16,508,299 national occupation total. Oregon 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. New Jersey has a separate Candidate occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.

No. This join is CANDIDATE and state OR. The New Jersey cell is a different pair. Four Oregon donors produced 112 gifts totaling $943,091. The 4 Oregon donors used occupation CANDIDATE and state OR. Filers who wrote OFFICEHOLDER or POLITICAL CANDIDATE may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Oregon. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $943,091 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to OR; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
