Communications political contributions from North Carolina

Thirteen North Carolina donors inside a national Communications table

Occupation COMMUNICATIONS and donor state NC match on $2,130,352, 599 contributions, and 13 donors. The occupation hub is $6,851,742, 25,152 contributions, and 1,078 donors. North Carolina’s dollar share is about 31%; contribution share about 2% (599 of 25,152); donor share about 1% (13 of 1,078).

About 31% of the dollars from about 1% of the donors is among the sharpest concentration patterns in this slice: a 13-person North Carolina-coded list carrying nearly a third of the labeled money. Five hundred ninety-nine contributions from those 13 people also means heavy repeat itemization. The page still does not name the 13 donors.

Thirteen North Carolina donors produced 599 contributions, about 46 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 23 rows per donor nationally (25,152 contributions from 1,078 donors). Combined with about 31% of the $6,851,742 from about 1% of donors, this is a small, repeat-heavy, dollar-heavy slice. Thirteen people are not a media industry.

Communications as a filer-entered occupation

COMMUNICATIONS can mean corporate communications, a media job, a consultant, or a telecom role. MARKETING, PUBLIC RELATIONS, and MEDIA, if used, sit in other hubs. Marketing has Pennsylvania and New Jersey ties in this packet slice with a different national total. Do not fold Marketing into Communications.

One thousand seventy-eight donors and $6,851,742 nationwide describe the COMMUNICATIONS bucket only. This page locates the North Carolina overlap.

North Carolina as donor state

Thirteen North Carolina donors produced 599 contributions totaling $2,130,352. Donor state NC is the address on the record, not proof of a Raleigh or Charlotte media job, and not a limit to North Carolina candidates.

The North Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NC. This join is only COMMUNICATIONS. Other occupations on that hub are outside these 13 donors.

North Carolina’s campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded NC. This join is 13 people inside that hub. The Communications occupation hub without North Carolina still holds about 69% of the $6,851,742. MARKETING is a different national label with other state ties.

What a 13-donor join cannot tell you

This page does not measure ad markets, does not identify firms, and does not claim that Communications-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping match. Correlation is not causation. A 13-person list is too thin to treat as the state’s communications industry.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

COMMUNICATIONS does not mean TV, telecom, or political consulting specifically. Itemized individual contributions only. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. Ad-market rankings are not in these six numbers. Donor state NC is not recipient geography. Correlation is not causation.

Why this Communications page is not a restatement of North Carolina

Subtract the North Carolina dollars on this page from the national Communications occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded Communications in every other state combined. That remainder 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 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the North Carolina dollars, or only the Communications national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Questions

How much have Communications donors in North Carolina given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Communications and state North Carolina total $2,130,352, from 599 contributions and 13 donors. Nationwide, Communications-coded receipts are $6,851,742 from 25,152 contributions and 1,078 donors. North Carolina is about 31% of those dollars.

Why only 13 North Carolina donors for $2.1 million?

The state side is 13 donors, 599 contributions, and $2,130,352—about 1% of the occupation’s 1,078 donors and about 31% of its $6,851,742. A small donor count with a large dollar share means concentration. This page does not name those 13 people.

Is Communications the same as Marketing?

No. COMMUNICATIONS and MARKETING are different occupation strings. Marketing has its own national total and its own state ties. This page’s $2,130,352 is COMMUNICATIONS-and-NC only.

Does this money go to North Carolina candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is North Carolina. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $2,130,352 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns.
