CPA contributions received by HMP
Donors who listed CPA as their employer sent $25,010,410 in itemized individual contributions to HMP, according to FEC.gov aggregates. That committee total covers 15,575 contributions and sits against $77,953,344 attributed to the CPA employer grouping nationwide. This page is a join: one employer/industry bucket on one side, one recipient committee (C00495028) on the other. It is not a claim that every certified public accountant gave, and it is not independent-expenditure spending.
Key figures
- HMP received $25,010,410 from CPA-coded individual contributions across 15,575 itemized gifts.
- The CPA employer grouping totals $77,953,344, so this committee accounts for about 32% of that labeled money.
- CPA is three-letter filer text, not a NAICS accounting-sector total.
- Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures.
A high-volume occupation code meeting a short committee name
CPA is three letters that usually belong in occupation, stored here as an employer grouping because that is how the field was filled. The grouping totals $77,953,344. HMP, committee C00495028, received $25,010,410 of that grouping across 15,575 contributions—about 32% of the employer total. The line count is the outlier: fifteen thousand-plus receipts, not a dozen large Super PAC gifts.
Dollars per line average about $1,606 ($25,010,410 ÷ 15,575). That mean is closer to repeated itemized gifts than to eight-figure single checks. Unique donors are still not in the facts, so 15,575 is a receipt count. Repeat payroll-style PAC deductions, if present, would raise lines without adding people.
CPA is not the accounting industry
People who typed Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young, KPMG, or a local firm name sit in other employer keys even if they hold a CPA license. ACCOUNTANT as occupation is a different dimension. This $77,953,344 total is the letters CPA in the employer field. It is not a NAICS accounting-services sector.
About $52,942,934 of CPA-coded money ($77,953,344 − $25,010,410) went to committees other than HMP. Two-thirds of the string is therefore not this join. The industry hub is required if the question is the full CPA-coded map. This tie is the HMP third.
HMP (C00495028) as the receiving account
HMP is the disclosed committee name. This page does not expand the initials. The $25,010,410 is CPA-coded individual receipts into C00495028. Other employers giving to HMP appear on the committee hub. Independent expenditures, if the committee reports them, are outside this join.
A 15,575-line cell can look like a membership PAC. The packet does not confirm that HMP is an accountants’ PAC or that the 15,575 rows are members. It confirms an employer-string match and a committee ID. Read the committee hub for the rest of C00495028’s disclosed identity.
Licensure letters are not IRS enforcement and not grants
These figures are not IRS collections, not state board actions, and not USAspending awards to accounting contractors. FEC individual receipts do not fund those datasets. Correlation of the word accountant or CPA across a biography and a contract file is not a money trail.
Motive and tax-policy lobbying are outside the packet. Unitemized gifts never appear. Cite $25,010,410, 15,575 contributions, $77,953,344, and C00495028. Keep CPA labeled as filer text.
Linked hubs
The CPA industry page holds the $77,953,344 employer total and the committees that received the other 68%. The HMP page holds C00495028 receipts from every employer. All industries and all FEC ties collect neighboring pairs, including other three-letter occupation-like strings, without mixing independent expenditures into this 15,575-line cell.
32.1 percent is $25,010,410 of $77,953,344. The leftover $52,942,934 is CPA-coded money on other committees—about two-thirds of the string. 15,575 lines at about $1,606 each are a high-volume, modest-mean pattern, unlike sparse eight-figure Super PAC cells.
Deloitte, PwC, and local firm names are other employer keys. ACCOUNTANT as occupation is another dimension. Unique donors are not listed. Repeat gifts, including possible PAC deduction, raise 15,575 without adding people. The packet does not confirm deduction.
Cite FEC.gov for $25,010,410, 15,575 contributions, $77,953,344, and C00495028. Independent expenditures by HMP are outside the cell. Do not treat 32.1% as a census of licensed CPAs or as IRS or USAspending dollars. CPA remains three-letter filer text.
Researchers who need names behind the 15,575 contribution lines must leave this prose page for the committee and industry tables. This tie only publishes the overlap: $25,010,410 coded to CPA and received by HMP (C00495028), against an employer grouping of $77,953,344. About 32% of that grouping is here; $52,942,934 is not. Dollars per line average about $1,606. That ratio is arithmetic on the packet facts, not a typical gift and not a legal finding. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and USAspending awards remain outside the join. Cite FEC.gov. CPA remains three letters, not a license census.
Questions
- How much did CPA-coded donors give HMP?
- FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions show $25,010,410 coded to the CPA employer grouping and received by HMP (C00495028). That join covers 15,575 contributions. The broader CPA employer total across all committees is $77,953,344. These figures are not independent expenditures.
- Is this every certified public accountant’s political giving?
- No. CPA is a self-reported string in the employer field, often an occupation placeholder. Firm names and the occupation ACCOUNTANT are other keys. This page does not verify licensure. It reports the labeled join to committee C00495028 from itemized individual contributions only.
- What share of CPA FEC money went to HMP?
- About 32% of the $77,953,344 CPA employer total is in this join: $25,010,410 to HMP. About $52,942,934 went to other committees. That minority share describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that accountants as a class preferred HMP.
- Why are there 15,575 contributions?
- The packet lists 15,575 itemized contribution lines totaling $25,010,410, about $1,606 per line. That is a receipt count, not a unique-donor count. Repeat gifts raise the line total. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are not in this join. Use the C00495028 hub for other receipt types.
