COO political contributions from California

How occupation COO meets donor state California

Occupation COO and donor state CA produce $3,388,109, 5,045 contributions, and 420 donors. The occupation hub is $18,870,517, 39,925 contributions, and 3,124 donors. California’s dollar share is about 18.0%; contribution share about 12.6% (5,045 of 39,925); donor share about 13.4% (420 of 3,124). Four hundred twenty California donors are about 13.4% of 3,124 national donors; 5,045 contributions are about 12.6% of 39,925 national rows; dollars are about 18.0% of $18,870,517.

CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, CEO, and CHIEF OPERATING OFF., if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this COO total. Do not stack COO with CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER or CEO into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

420 California donors produced 5,045 contributions, about 12.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.8 rows per donor nationally (39,925 contributions from 3,124 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $672, against about $473 nationwide. California’s about 18.0% dollar share runs ahead of its about 13.4% donor share — a higher-mean slice of the national COO bucket.

COO as an abbreviated officer title

COO is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a corporate office, a board seat, or a California employer. Three letters on the form are the filter. The $18,870,517 national total is COO only. 3,124 donors produced 39,925 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 39,925 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Three thousand one hundred twenty-four national donors make COO a many-person occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as donor state

420 California donors produced 5,045 contributions totaling $3,388,109. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California corporation, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,388,109.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only COO. The COO occupation hub without California still holds about 82.0% of the $18,870,517. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. COO is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not merge spelled-out chief operating officer dollars, list officers, or claim that COO-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. COO is not CEO and not CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER even when filers meant the same job. Executive Vice President in California is a different occupation-state pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. COO is not a corporate-officer registry. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one COO filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national COO occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded COO in every other state combined. That remainder ($15,482,408) 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 420 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 5,045 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,388,109 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the COO national total, drops a key. Four hundred twenty donors producing 5,045 contributions totaling $3,388,109 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Coo donations holds the $18,870,517 national occupation total. California 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. Executive Vice President and Managing Partner in California are different occupation-state ties.
