COO political contributions from Georgia

The COO–Georgia intersection

Occupation COO and donor state GA produce $714,175, 1,104 contributions, and 94 donors. The occupation hub is $18,870,517, 39,925 contributions, and 3,124 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 2.8% (1,104 of 39,925); donor share about 3.0% (94 of 3,124). Ninety-four Georgia donors sit inside 3,124 national COO donors. Dollars ($714,175 of $18,870,517) and rows (1,104 of 39,925) describe a mid-size officer-title cell.

CEO, CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, and PRESIDENT, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack COO with CEO or CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

94 Georgia donors produced 1,104 contributions, about 11.7 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 Georgia cell is about $647, against about $473 nationwide. Georgia’s $714,175 is not an Atlanta Fortune-list payroll. Three letters on Schedule A are a coarse filter. Do not stack CEO or PRESIDENT Georgia dollars onto this cell.

COO as an officer-title abbreviation

COO is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify that the filer was a sitting chief operating officer or that the company existed. 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 Georgia (GA). Thirty-nine thousand nine hundred twenty-five national contributions make COO a mid-volume bucket. This tie locates the Georgia overlap.

Georgia as donor state

94 Georgia donors produced 1,104 contributions totaling $714,175. 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 corporation, and not a map of which campaigns received the $714,175.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only COO. The COO occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 96.2% of the $18,870,517. Georgia’s state hub includes every occupation coded to GA. COO is only this filter.

What not to infer from COO plus Georgia

This page does not count officers, rank companies, 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 BUSINESS EXECUTIVE even when filers meant similar roles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. COO is not a corporate-officer extract. Donor state GA 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 Georgia 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 ($18,156,342) 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 94 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 1,104 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $714,175 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 COO national total, drops a key. Ninety-four donors producing 1,104 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $714,175 headline.

Coo donations holds the $18,870,517 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. ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON, INSURANCE, SECRETARY, PILOT, OFFICE MANAGER, and VETERINARIAN are other Georgia ties in this slice.

Questions

How much have COO donors in Georgia given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation COO and state Georgia total $714,175, from 1,104 contributions and 94 donors. Nationwide, COO-coded receipts are $18,870,517 from 39,925 contributions and 3,124 donors. Georgia is about 3.8% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does COO mean chief operating officer?

Usually that is what filers intend, but the FEC file does not verify officer status. Occupation is the string COO and state is GA. Ninety-four donors are not a corporate roster. The 94 Georgia donors used occupation COO and state GA. Filers who wrote CEO or CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

What share of COO FEC money is from Georgia?

About 3.8% of the $18,870,517 occupation total is in this Georgia join ($714,175). Georgia also accounts for about 2.8% of contributions (1,104 of 39,925) and about 3.0% of donors (94 of 3,124). The join is itemized individual money, not a secretary-of-state officer list.

Does this money go to Georgia candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Georgia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $714,175 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.
