Chief of Staff and Minnesota as overlapping FEC fields

Where Chief of Staff sits inside Minnesota FEC totals

Donor state Minnesota (MN) and Chief of Staff (CHIEF OF STAFF) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Chief of Staff and you are citing the Minnesota hub across every occupation. Drop Minnesota and you are citing an occupation hub that still mixes other states. Keep both and the number is $130,117 from 263 contributions and 12 donors. Minnesota’s Chief of Staff join shares the national CHIEF OF STAFF total with Tennessee’s page; adding the two state cells is not a closed national total.

1.9% names $130,117 as a share of $6,890,531. It does not name a share of Minnesota statewide receipts, a share of licensed workers, or a share of itemized giving by every nearby title. Those denominators are absent. $6,760,414 is the complement inside the same occupation string, other states only.

Chief of Staff is a filer-entered label

FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses CHIEF OF STAFF. COS, Chief of Staff to, Executive, and Staff Director are other keys when those characters appear. LobbyVault does not recode the string into a congressional-staff roster, a White House org chart, or a corporate COS census. Cite $130,117 for this title in Minnesota on 263 receipts from 12 donors.

The occupation hub still holds $6,760,414 outside Minnesota. Most of the $6,890,531 roll is not this state’s cell if 1.9% is a modest slice — or a large slice if the state dominates. Either way, quote the share with both dollars.

21.9 gifts per donor is arithmetic, not turnout

21.9 gifts per donor is 263 divided by 12. That ratio is not a measure of civic engagement and not a turnout figure. It is a line-to-key quotient inside one occupation-state cell. Quote it with both integers.

12 donor keys totaling $130,117 is not a ranking of Minnesota against other states. This join has one occupation and one state. Neighboring occ-state pages are other keys.

Do not mix occupation dollars with the state hub

$130,117 sits inside $6,890,531 the way a state cell sits inside an occupation row. Removing Minnesota does not make $130,117 equal $6,890,531. Removing other states does not make $6,890,531 equal $130,117. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

263 of 14,901 contribution rows (1.8%) and 12 of 786 donors (1.5%) travel with the dollar share. Quote all three when the join is the subject. Means $495 (per gift) and $10,843 (per donor) stay attached to Minnesota.

Amended reports and live hubs

Individual reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $130,117 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Chief of Staff hub and the live Minnesota hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $130,117, 263, 12, $6,890,531.

CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title. Government versus corporate versus campaign staff is unpublished. Executive is a different key. Sibling occupation-state pages for other states or other titles are other slugs. Do not reuse $130,117 on those pages.

Donor-state MN caveats for occupation joins

Occupation-state joins inherit address-file quirks: mailing-state codes, amended reports, and itemization thresholds. MN as Minnesota is an address label. $130,117 can move after this snapshot. Live hubs control.

What stays fixed in this file is the packet arithmetic: $130,117 of $6,890,531 is 1.9%; 263 lines; 12 keys; about $495 per line; about $10,843 per donor; about 21.9 lines per key. Those identities use only facts in the packet.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Chief of Staff, donor state Minnesota (MN), $130,117 itemized, 263 contributions, 12 donors, 1.9% of $6,890,531 from 786 national donors. CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title. Government versus corporate versus campaign staff is unpublished. Executive is a different key. COS, Chief of Staff to, Executive, and Staff Director stay on other occupation pages. The Minnesota campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $130,117: treat it as payroll, treat 12 as a workforce census, treat 1.9% as a share of Minnesota statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $495 per contribution and $10,843 per donor remain attached to 263 and 12. About 21.9 lines per donor remains 263 divided by 12.

Questions

What is the Minnesota Chief of Staff contribution total?

$130,117 from 263 itemized contributions and 12 donor keys whose occupation grouped to CHIEF OF STAFF and whose state grouped to MN. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $6,890,531. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Chief of Staff occupation receipts is Minnesota?

1.9%. That is $130,117 divided by $6,890,531. The complement is $6,760,414 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 1.8% (263 of 14,901).

Does occupation CHIEF OF STAFF mean the donors were licensed?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title. Government versus corporate versus campaign staff is unpublished. Executive is a different key. 12 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $130,117 on 263 lines.

Do these Minnesota donations fund federal spending?

No. $130,117 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Chief of Staff and donor state Minnesota. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $130,117. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
