Construction political contributions from North Carolina

FEC.gov records $456,911 from filers who wrote CONSTRUCTION and listed donor state NC. The North Carolina cell covers 1,616 contributions from 107 donors. The national Construction occupation bucket is $17,948,059 from 56,051 contributions and 3,900 donors. Dollar share for North Carolina is about 2.5%. CONSTRUCTION is a one-word trade label as typed, not a contractor-license roster. Correlation of occupation and state is not causation.

Construction-coded contributions from North Carolina addresses

Occupation CONSTRUCTION and donor state NC produce $456,911, 1,616 contributions, and 107 donors. The occupation hub is $17,948,059, 56,051 contributions, and 3,900 donors. North Carolina’s dollar share is about 2.5%; contribution share about 2.9% (1,616 of 56,051); donor share about 2.7% (107 of 3,900). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Construction hub and not a restatement of all North Carolina occupations.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR, and BUILDER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CONSTRUCTION with those strings into a single North Carolina professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

107 North Carolina donors produced 1,616 contributions, about 15.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 14.4 rows per donor nationally (56,051 contributions from 3,900 donors). Line volume in North Carolina is the distinctive feature of this cell: 2.9% of national CONSTRUCTION contributions against a 2.5% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this North Carolina cell is about $283, against about $320 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

CONSTRUCTION versus GENERAL CONTRACTOR and BUILDER

CONSTRUCTION is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $17,948,059 national total is CONSTRUCTION only. 3,900 donors produced 56,051 contributions in that occupation bucket. CONSTRUCTION is a one-word trade label as typed, not a contractor-license roster. Nearby labels GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR, and BUILDER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 56,051 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to North Carolina (NC). 56,051 national contributions make CONSTRUCTION a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the North Carolina overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

North Carolina as the state on the itemized record

107 North Carolina donors produced 1,616 contributions totaling $456,911. Donor state NC is the address on the record, not proof of a North Carolina license, and not a limit to North Carolina candidates. NC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $456,911. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from NC-coded donors.

The North Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NC. This join is only CONSTRUCTION. The Construction occupation hub without North Carolina still holds about 97.5% of the $17,948,059 (remainder $17,491,148). North Carolina’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NC. CONSTRUCTION is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Contractor licenses are not in the join

A 2.5% dollar share in North Carolina does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 107 unique donors as a building-permit extract. CONSTRUCTION is not interchangeable with GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONTRACTOR, and BUILDER.

Quote $456,911, 1,616 contributions, and 107 donors for Construction in North Carolina, against $17,948,059 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Construction and North Carolina—whenever the dollars are quoted.

North Carolina Construction dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Construction and North Carolina (NC), then $456,911, 1,616 contributions, 107 donors, and 2.5% of $17,948,059, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside North Carolina: $17,491,148. Mean gift $283 is $456,911 divided by 1,616 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the North Carolina dollars on this page from the national CONSTRUCTION occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CONSTRUCTION in every other state combined. That remainder ($17,491,148) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 107 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Trade occupation pages and North Carolina finance

Construction donations holds the $17,948,059 national occupation total. North Carolina 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Construction labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.
