Chairman political contributions from Virginia

Chairman and Virginia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CHAIRMAN and donor state VA produce $3,855,370, 1,218 contributions, and 287 donors. The occupation hub is $98,545,716, 35,525 contributions, and 6,317 donors. Virginia’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 3.4% (1,218 of 35,525); donor share about 4.5% (287 of 6,317). Two hundred eighty-seven Virginia donors are about 4.5% of 6,317 national donors; 1,218 contributions are about 3.4% of 35,525 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $98,545,716.

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 Virginia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

287 Virginia donors produced 1,218 contributions, about 4.2 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 Virginia cell is about $3,165, against about $2,774 nationwide. Virginia’s about 3.9% share of $98,545,716 is a large 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 $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 Virginia (VA). 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 VA.

Virginia on the state side

287 Virginia donors produced 1,218 contributions totaling $3,855,370. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. VA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Virginia board, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,855,370.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. This join is only CHAIRMAN. The Chairman occupation hub without Virginia still holds about 96.1% of the $98,545,716. Virginia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to VA. CHAIRMAN is only this filter.

What the Chairman 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 VA 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 Virginia 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 ($94,690,346) 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 287 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 1,218 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,855,370 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Virginia dollars, or only the CHAIRMAN national total, drops a key. Two hundred eighty-seven donors producing 1,218 contributions totaling $3,855,370 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Chairman donations holds the $98,545,716 national occupation total. Virginia 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. The Virginia Lawyer tie is a different occupation join on the same state code.
