Contractor political contributions from Georgia

Contractor and Georgia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CONTRACTOR and donor state GA produce $1,184,782, 2,110 contributions, and 226 donors. The occupation hub is $30,356,058, 92,735 contributions, and 6,738 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 2.3% (2,110 of 92,735); donor share about 3.4% (226 of 6,738). Two hundred twenty-six Georgia donors are about 3.4% of 6,738 national donors; 2,110 contributions are about 2.3% of 92,735 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $30,356,058.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR, CONSTRUCTION, and BUILDER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Contractor total. Do not stack CONTRACTOR with GENERAL CONTRACTOR or CONSTRUCTION into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

226 Georgia donors produced 2,110 contributions, about 9.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.8 rows per donor nationally (92,735 contributions from 6,738 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $562, against about $327 nationwide. Georgia’s about 3.9% dollar share from 226 people is a many-person slice of a 92,735-row occupation, distinct from the Louisiana Contractor cell.

CONTRACTOR without a Louisiana overlay

CONTRACTOR is a filer-entered string. The national occupation hub is the same $30,356,058 book. This page filters donor state GA. The FEC file still does not verify a contractor license. The $30,356,058 national total is CONTRACTOR only. 6,738 donors produced 92,735 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 92,735 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Six thousand seven hundred thirty-eight national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state GA.

Georgia on the state side

226 Georgia donors produced 2,110 contributions totaling $1,184,782. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia job site, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,184,782.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only CONTRACTOR. The Contractor occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 96.1% of the $30,356,058. Georgia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to GA. CONTRACTOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not add the Louisiana cell into this total, merge builder strings, or claim that Contractor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. The Louisiana Contractor join is a different pair with different state totals. Do not stack the two cells.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CONTRACTOR is not a contractor-license extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Bid numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Georgia Contractor filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national CONTRACTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CONTRACTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($29,171,276) 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 226 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 2,110 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,184,782 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the CONTRACTOR national total, drops a key. Two hundred twenty-six donors producing 2,110 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,184,782 headline.

Related tables

Contractor donations holds the $30,356,058 national occupation total. Georgia 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. Louisiana has a separate Contractor occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Georgia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $1,184,782 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to GA; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
