Controller political contributions from Michigan

Controller as occupation, Michigan as the state

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation CONTROLLER and donor state MI. Matching rows sum to $270,781, 1,829 contributions, and 83 donors. CONTROLLER is the occupation string as typed. It is not automatically an air-traffic controller. Financial Controller and Comptroller are other keys when those words appear. The occupation hub is $7,491,629 across 38,663 contributions and 1,734 donors. The Michigan state hub mixes every other occupation that used that state code. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Michigan’s dollar share is 3.6% ($270,781 of $7,491,629). Contribution share is 4.7% (1,829 of 38,663). Donor share is 4.8% (83 of 1,734). The remainder, $7,220,848, sits in other states on the occupation hub. Correlation between a job title and a mailing-state code is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $270,781.

The Controller string across every state on file

$7,491,629 is the occupation-side denominator from 38,663 contributions and 1,734 donors. It is not limited to Michigan. Financial Controller, Comptroller, Treasurer, and CFO are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $7,491,629 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state under CONTROLLER, not only Michigan. This file stays on the overlap. $7,220,848 remains on the hub as the complement of $270,781. CONTROLLER is the occupation string as typed. It is not automatically an air-traffic controller. Financial Controller and Comptroller are other keys when those words appear. Do not fold those sibling strings into $7,491,629 and then cite the sum as this join.

83 Michigan donors and the gift math

Dividing $270,781 by 1,829 contributions yields about $148 per gift. Dividing by 83 donors yields about $3,262 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 22.0 (1,829 ÷ 83). Nationally, 38,663 contributions from 1,734 donors average about $194 per gift and 22.3 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string in Michigan, not payroll.

83 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × state aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in Michigan. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 83 figure. The Michigan hub still holds every other occupation’s MI receipts beside this cell.

What 3.6% of Controller-coded dollars is not

A 3.6% share of Controller-coded dollars from Michigan does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and donor state are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that Michigan donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $270,781 as itemized individual receipts tagged CONTROLLER and MI, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Controller × Michigan

A complete claim names Controller and Michigan, then $270,781, 1,829 contributions, 83 donors, and 3.6% of $7,491,629, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 83 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Controller and Michigan—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $148 and mean per donor $3,262 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Controller donations rolls every state into one CONTROLLER running total. Michigan campaign finance rolls every occupation into one MI total. Only the Controller × Michigan overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 1,829 receipts and $270,781. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-state cells.

Occupation hub, Michigan hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $7,220,848 outside Michigan. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the state, not either hub restated. Financial Controller, Comptroller, Treasurer, and CFO are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of CONTROLLER on this page. Gifts per donor in Michigan average about 22.0. That ratio is 1,829 divided by 83, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation CONTROLLER, donor state Michigan (MI), $270,781 in itemized individual contributions, 1,829 receipts, and 83 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $148 per line and $3,262 per donor in the cell. If the live Controller donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 1,829 as unique workers in the trade.

Questions

How much have Controller donors in Michigan given?

The join records $270,781 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Controller and donor state Michigan, from 1,829 contributions and 83 donors. The occupation’s national total is $7,491,629, so Michigan is 3.6% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every controller who donated from Michigan?

No. The 83 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to CONTROLLER and state MI. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $270,781 on 1,829 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Controller occupation money is from Michigan?

3.6%: $270,781 of $7,491,629. The remaining $7,220,848 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $270,781 divided by $7,491,629, not a ranking of civic engagement. Other states’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder. Donor share is 4.8%.

Does this money go to Michigan candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Michigan (MI). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $270,781 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Michigan campaign finance for every occupation coded to MI. Source: FEC.gov.
