Sibling titles next to Chief of Staff

COS, Chief of Staff to, Executive, and Staff Director are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of CHIEF OF STAFF and they are not folded into $135,715. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 2.0%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

CHIEF OF STAFF is the three-word title. Government versus corporate versus campaign staff is unpublished. Executive is a different key. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: CHIEF OF STAFF in Tennessee for $135,715.

Reading 137 contributions as a line count

Line count 137 and donor count 13 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried CHIEF OF STAFF and state TN? 137. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 13. How many dollars? $135,715. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share

$135,715 ÷ $6,890,531 = 2.0%. $6,754,816 ÷ $6,890,531 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 13 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 13 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 2.0% dollar share means other states still hold $6,754,816 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Chief of Staff was quiet or loud in Tennessee politics. Other states are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.

What this join does not prove

This page does not rank Tennessee as more or less Chief of Staff-driven than other states, does not call the cell a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A CHIEF OF STAFF occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.

Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See Tennessee campaign finance, Chief of Staff donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables.
