Chairman political contributions from Maine

Chairman and Maine as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CHAIRMAN and donor state ME produce $3,546,600, 59 contributions, and 16 donors. The occupation hub is $98,545,716, 35,525 contributions, and 6,317 donors. Maine’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 0.2% (59 of 35,525); donor share about 0.3% (16 of 6,317). Sixteen Maine donors are about 0.3% of 6,317 national donors, while 59 contributions are about 0.2% of 35,525 national rows. Dollar share (about 3.6%) runs far ahead of both headcount shares.

CHAIRPERSON, CHAIR, and CHAIRMAN AND CEO, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Chairman total. Do not stack CHAIRMAN with CHAIRPERSON or CHAIRMAN AND CEO into a single Maine professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

16 Maine donors produced 59 contributions, about 3.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 5.6 rows per donor nationally (35,525 contributions from 6,317 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Maine cell is about $60,112, against about $2,774 nationwide. Maine’s about 3.6% share of $98,545,716 from 16 people is a large-mean board-title cell, not a Fortune 500 officer census.

CHAIRMAN as a board-title string

CHAIRMAN is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a board seat, a public-company filing, or an employer. The word on the form is the filter. The $98,545,716 national total is CHAIRMAN only. 6,317 donors produced 35,525 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 35,525 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maine (ME). Six thousand three hundred seventeen national donors make CHAIRMAN a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state ME.

Maine as the donor-state code

16 Maine donors produced 59 contributions totaling $3,546,600. Donor state ME is the address on the record, not proof of a Maine license, and not a limit to Maine candidates. ME is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Maine board, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,546,600.

The Maine campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to ME. This join is only CHAIRMAN. The Chairman occupation hub without Maine still holds about 96.4% of the $98,545,716. Maine’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to ME. CHAIRMAN is only this filter.

What the Chairman–Maine join is not

This page does not merge Chairperson dollars, count board seats, or claim that Chairman-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CHAIRMAN is not CHAIRPERSON even when filers meant the same gavel.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CHAIRMAN is not a board roster. Donor state ME is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Chairman filter

Subtract the Maine dollars on this page from the national CHAIRMAN occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CHAIRMAN in every other state combined. That remainder ($94,999,116) 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 16 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 59 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,546,600 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maine dollars, or only the CHAIRMAN national total, drops a key. Sixteen donors producing 59 contributions totaling $3,546,600 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Chairman donations holds the $98,545,716 national occupation total. Maine 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. Virginia has a separate Chairman occupation-state tie with different facts; do not add those dollars here.

No. CHAIRMAN and CHAIRPERSON are different stored strings. This join is CHAIRMAN and state ME only. Sixteen Maine donors used that pair. The 16 Maine donors used occupation CHAIRMAN and state ME. Filers who wrote CHAIRPERSON or CHAIR may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Maine. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $3,546,600 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to ME; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
