Controller itemized gifts from Tennessee

Reading $222,128 as Controller in Tennessee

Where donor state TN meets occupation CONTROLLER, itemized individual contributions sum to $222,128 across 513 lines and 34 donor keys. The occupation aggregate without a state screen is $7,491,629 from 38,663 contributions and 1,734 donors. Tennessee is 3.0% of that occupation book; $7,269,501 was filed under other states. The arithmetic uses only packet facts. Tennessee’s Controller join is the finance-style CONTROLLER string, not air-traffic control; 34 Tennessee keys are not a CPA census.

This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the occupation side, the state side, the gift math, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Controller donations across states, and it is not a restatement of Tennessee campaign finance across occupations.

Sibling titles next to Controller

Financial Controller, Comptroller, Treasurer, and CFO are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of CONTROLLER and they are not folded into $222,128. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 3.0%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

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. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: CONTROLLER in Tennessee for $222,128.

Reading 513 contributions as a line count

Line count 513 and donor count 34 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried CONTROLLER and state TN? 513. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 34. How many dollars? $222,128. 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

$222,128 ÷ $7,491,629 = 3.0%. $7,269,501 ÷ $7,491,629 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 34 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 34 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 3.0% dollar share means other states still hold $7,269,501 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Controller 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 Controller-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 CONTROLLER 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, Controller donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $222,128 is that subset for Tennessee. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Tennessee receipts.

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. Keep Controller and Tennessee in the same sentence as $222,128. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Controller, donor state Tennessee (TN), $222,128 itemized, 513 contributions, 34 donors, 3.0% of $7,491,629 from 1,734 national 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. Financial Controller, Comptroller, Treasurer, and CFO stay on other occupation pages. The Tennessee campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Open /occupations/controller/ (Controller donations) for the occupation hub, /states/TN/ (Tennessee campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.

Questions

How much have Controller donors in Tennessee given?

The join records $222,128 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Controller and donor state Tennessee, from 513 contributions and 34 donors. The occupation’s national total is $7,491,629, so Tennessee is 3.0% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every controller who donated from Tennessee?

No. The 34 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to CONTROLLER and state TN. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $222,128 on 513 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Controller occupation money is from Tennessee?

3.0%: $222,128 of $7,491,629. The remaining $7,269,501 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $222,128 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 2.0%.

Does this money go to Tennessee candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Tennessee (TN). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $222,128 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Tennessee campaign finance for every occupation coded to TN. Source: FEC.gov.
