Creative Director political contributions from California

Creative Director and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CREATIVE DIRECTOR and donor state CA produce $3,045,381, 6,414 contributions, and 177 donors. The occupation hub is $5,970,821, 19,519 contributions, and 636 donors. California’s dollar share is about 51.0%; contribution share about 32.9% (6,414 of 19,519); donor share about 27.8% (177 of 636). One hundred seventy-seven California donors are about 27.8% of 636 national donors; 6,414 contributions are about 32.9% of 19,519 national rows; dollars are about 51.0% of $5,970,821.

ART DIRECTOR, CREATIVE, and CREATIVE DIRECTOR/WRITER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Creative Director total. Do not stack CREATIVE DIRECTOR with ART DIRECTOR or CREATIVE into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

177 California donors produced 6,414 contributions, about 36.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 30.7 rows per donor nationally (19,519 contributions from 636 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $475, against about $306 nationwide. California’s about 51.0% dollar share from 177 people is the dominant state cell of the national CREATIVE DIRECTOR bucket, unlike Oregon’s $55,575 cell.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR without an Oregon overlay

CREATIVE DIRECTOR is a filer-entered string. The national occupation hub is the same $5,970,821 book. This page filters donor state CA. One hundred seventy-seven unique donors is not an agency directory. The $5,970,821 national total is CREATIVE DIRECTOR only. 636 donors produced 19,519 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 19,519 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Six hundred thirty-six national donors make this a modest occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as donor state

177 California donors produced 6,414 contributions totaling $3,045,381. 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 studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,045,381.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only CREATIVE DIRECTOR. The Creative Director occupation hub without California still holds about 49.0% of the $5,970,821. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. CREATIVE DIRECTOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not add the Oregon Creative Director cell into this total, count agencies, or claim that Creative Director-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. The Oregon Creative Director join is a different pair with different state totals. Do not stack the two cells.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CREATIVE DIRECTOR is not an advertising-agency census. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Agency names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one California Creative Director filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national CREATIVE DIRECTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CREATIVE DIRECTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($2,925,440) 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 177 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 6,414 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,045,381 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 CREATIVE DIRECTOR national total, drops a key. One hundred seventy-seven donors producing 6,414 contributions totaling $3,045,381 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Creative Director donations holds the $5,970,821 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. Oregon has a separate Creative Director occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
