CPA political contributions from Texas

CPA and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CPA and donor state TX produce $4,404,552, 17,330 contributions, and 1,036 donors. The occupation hub is $44,519,078, 167,600 contributions, and 10,766 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (9.9%, 10.3%, 9.6%). Texas tracks the national CPA mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Texas CPA shares cluster near one-tenth of a large credential-title bucket.

CPA is a credential abbreviation as typed, not an Accountant recode. Nearby strings — ACCOUNTANT, CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT, AUDITOR, and BOOKKEEPER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,404,552 or $44,519,078. CPA and ACCOUNTANT split filers who typed a credential versus a job word.

One thousand thirty-six Texas donors produced 17,330 contributions, about 16.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 15.6 rows per donor nationally (167,600 contributions from 10,766 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Texas cell are about $4,251, versus about $4,135 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

CPA as a national occupation grouping

CPA is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Texas CPA certificate or a PCAOB firm seat. The national grouping is 10,766 donors, 167,600 contributions, and $44,519,078.

167,600 contributions from 10,766 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Texas’s 17,330 contributions from 1,036 donors is the TX-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Texas.

Texas on the state side

One thousand thirty-six Texas donors produced 17,330 contributions totaling $4,404,552. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas professional license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only CPA. Subtract $4,404,552 from $44,519,078 and $40,114,526 remains coded CPA in every other state combined (150,270 contributions, 9,730 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the CPA–Texas join is not

This page does not measure cpa output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that CPA-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Texas State Board of Public Accountancy license extract, not an AICPA membership roll, and not a firm-revenue ranking.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state TX is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one CPA filter

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 $4,404,552, 17,330 contributions, and 1,036 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the CPA national total, drops a key.

CPA donations holds the $44,519,078 national occupation total. Texas 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. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

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. CPA and ACCOUNTANT split filers who typed a credential versus a job word.

Does this money go to Texas candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Texas. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $4,404,552 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions; occupation labels are filer-entered.
