CPA political contributions from California

CPA and California as a credential-string join

Occupation CPA and donor state CA together sum to $7,872,706, 29,686 contributions, and 1,363 donors. The occupation hub is $44,519,078, 167,600 contributions, and 10,766 donors. California’s share of dollars is 17.7%; of contributions, 17.7% (29,686 of 167,600); of donors, 12.7% (1,363 of 10,766).

1,363 California donors produced 29,686 contributions totaling $7,872,706. That is 17.7% of the $44,519,078 CPA occupation total. The leftover $36,646,372 is CPA-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California’s $7,872,706 is 17.7% of the $44,519,078 CPA occupation total. The remainder $36,646,372 is CPA-coded money from every other state. Do not add Accountant-coded California dollars to this cell. Those are other strings and another page. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

CPA as three letters used as an occupation

CPA is three letters typed as a job. ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR are other strings if used; ACCOUNTANT is a separate high-volume hub. Ten thousand seven hundred sixty-six donors produced 167,600 contributions totaling $44,519,078.

California’s 1,363 donors are 12.7% of that CPA donor count, 17.7% of contribution rows, and 17.7% of dollars. The shares cluster near one-fifth. This California slice tracks the national CPA mix rather than dominating it.

One thousand three hundred sixty-three California CPA donors

1,363 California donors produced 29,686 contributions totaling $7,872,706. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only CPA. ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

CPA donations without California still holds the remainder of the $44,519,078 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Eighteen percent of CPA-coded dollars

This page does not measure a California Board of Accountancy license extract, and it does not claim that CPA-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

CPA fragments against ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, and AUDITOR. Those strings, if used, never enter the $44,519,078 or the $7,872,706. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

CPA versus Accountant as separate FEC strings

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national CPA occupation total and the difference is $36,646,372 still coded CPA in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. CPA donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total 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 CPA national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these licensed California CPAs?

The FEC file does not verify licenses. Occupation is the string CPA and state is CA. The 1,363 California donors produced $7,872,706 across 29,686 contributions. Filers who wrote ACCOUNTANT sit in a different occupation bucket. This is not a Board of Accountancy roster. FEC.gov labels are filer-entered.

What share of CPA FEC money is from California?

California holds 17.7% of the $44,519,078 occupation total ($7,872,706). California also accounts for 17.7% of contributions (29,686 of 167,600) and 12.7% of donors (1,363 of 10,766). CPA is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for California races only?

No. Donor state is California. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $7,872,706 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 29,686 contributions and 1,363 donors are the CPA-and-CA overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
