Chief Of Staff political contributions from Maryland

Maryland donors who listed their occupation as Chief Of Staff reported $346,404 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 896 contributions from 40 donors. Nationwide, CHIEF OF STAFF-coded receipts total $6,890,531 across 14,901 contributions and 786 donors. Maryland holds about 5.0% of those dollars. The three Maryland shares cluster around 5–6%. CHIEF OF STAFF is a title string, not proof of a congressional office. Maryland’s D.C.-adjacent geography is not a motive in this join.

Chief Of Staff and Maryland as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CHIEF OF STAFF and donor state MD produce $346,404, 896 contributions, and 40 donors. The occupation hub is $6,890,531, 14,901 contributions, and 786 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 5.0%; contribution share about 6.0% (896 of 14,901); donor share about 5.1% (40 of 786). Forty Maryland donors produced 896 contributions. Dollar share about 5.0%, contribution share about 6.0%, donor share about 5.1% — a proportional slice of a 14,901-row occupation.

SENIOR ADVISOR, CHIEF OF STAFF TO, and DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this total. Do not stack CHIEF OF STAFF with SENIOR ADVISOR or DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF into a single Maryland professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

40 Maryland donors produced 896 contributions, about 22.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.0 rows per donor nationally (14,901 contributions from 786 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Maryland cell is about $387, against about $462 nationwide. Maryland’s about 5.0% share of $6,890,531 tracks the national mix rather than concentrating dollars in a handful of people.

CHIEF OF STAFF as a workplace title

CHIEF OF STAFF is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not say whether the title was congressional, gubernatorial, corporate, or nonprofit. The $6,890,531 national total is CHIEF OF STAFF only. 786 donors produced 14,901 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 14,901 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland (MD). Fourteen thousand nine hundred one national contributions make this a mid-volume title bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MD.

Maryland on the state side

40 Maryland donors produced 896 contributions totaling $346,404. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. MD is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Maryland payroll, and not a map of which campaigns received the $346,404.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only CHIEF OF STAFF. The Chief Of Staff occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 95.0% of the $6,890,531. Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. CHIEF OF STAFF is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not identify Hill offices, rank staff, or claim that Chief Of Staff-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A Maryland address plus a chief-of-staff title is not a House employment record.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CHIEF OF STAFF is not a congressional-staff directory. Donor state MD is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Chief Of Staff filter

Subtract the Maryland dollars on this page from the national CHIEF OF STAFF occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CHIEF OF STAFF in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,544,127) 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 40 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 896 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $346,404 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the CHIEF OF STAFF national total, drops a key. Maryland’s clustered 5–6% shares are the fact to keep next to the $346,404 headline.

Chief Of Staff donations holds the $6,890,531 national occupation total. Maryland 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. SENIOR ADVISOR is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
