CFO political contributions from Tennessee

The CFO–Tennessee intersection

Occupation CFO and donor state TN produce $1,069,139, 1,756 contributions, and 131 donors. The occupation hub is $36,233,003, 78,219 contributions, and 6,214 donors. Tennessee’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 2.2% (1,756 of 78,219); donor share about 2.1% (131 of 6,214). One hundred thirty-one Tennessee donors are 2.1% of 6,214 national CFO donors. Dollars ($1,069,139 of $36,233,003) are about 3.0%; contributions (1,756 of 78,219) about 2.2%.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CONTROLLER, and FINANCE, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CFO with CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER or CONTROLLER into a single Tennessee professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

131 Tennessee donors produced 1,756 contributions, about 13.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.6 rows per donor nationally (78,219 contributions from 6,214 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Tennessee cell is about $609, against about $463 nationwide. Tennessee’s higher mean with a thinner headcount is the inverse of Ohio’s lower-mean, row-heavier CFO cell. Neither cell is a ranking of Nashville or Memphis firms.

CFO receipts with a Tennessee address

CFO is a filer-entered string. The file does not verify an SEC named-officer filing. The three letters plus TN are the filter. The $36,233,003 national total is CFO only. 6,214 donors produced 78,219 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 78,219 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Tennessee (TN). This page locates the Tennessee overlap. It does not name companies among the 131 Tennessee donors.

Tennessee as donor state

131 Tennessee donors produced 1,756 contributions totaling $1,069,139. Donor state TN is the address on the record, not proof of a Tennessee license, and not a limit to Tennessee candidates. TN is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Tennessee headquarters and not a limit to Tennessee candidates. A CFO can live in Tennessee and work for a firm incorporated elsewhere.

The Tennessee campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TN. This join is only CFO. The CFO occupation hub without Tennessee still holds about 97.0% of the $36,233,003. Tennessee’s state hub includes every occupation coded to TN. CFO is only this filter.

What not to infer from CFO plus Tennessee

This page does not merge spelled-out Chief Financial Officer dollars, count SEC officers, or claim that CFO-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CFO is not CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER if those strings are stored separately.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CFO is not an SEC named-officer roster. Donor state TN is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one CFO filter

Subtract the Tennessee dollars on this page from the national CFO occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CFO in every other state combined. That remainder ($35,163,864) 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 131 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 1,756 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,069,139 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Tennessee dollars, or only the CFO national total, drops a key. One hundred thirty-one donors producing 1,756 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,069,139 headline.

Cfo donations holds the $36,233,003 national occupation total. Tennessee 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. Ohio’s CFO join has more donors and a lower mean; do not add those dollars here.
