CTO political contributions from Michigan

CTO and Michigan as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation CTO and donor state MI produce $194,895, 110 contributions, and 6 donors. The occupation hub is $6,430,020, 12,843 contributions, and 660 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 0.9% (110 of 12,843); donor share about 0.9% (6 of 660). Six Michigan donors are about 0.9% of 660 national donors; 110 contributions are about 0.9% of 12,843 national rows; dollars are about 3.0% of $6,430,020.

CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, CIO, and CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this total. Do not stack CTO with CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER or CIO into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

6 Michigan donors produced 110 contributions, about 18.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.5 rows per donor nationally (12,843 contributions from 660 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Michigan cell is about $1,772, against about $501 nationwide. Michigan’s about 3.0% dollar share from 6 donors is a concentrated slice of a mid-volume acronym bucket.

CTO as an acronym occupation string

CTO is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not expand the letters. Filers who spelled out CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER are not in these 660 national donors. The $6,430,020 national total is CTO only. 660 donors produced 12,843 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 12,843 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Michigan (MI). Twelve thousand eight hundred forty-three national contributions make CTO a mid-volume bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MI.

Michigan on the state side

6 Michigan donors produced 110 contributions totaling $194,895. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. MI is the address on the itemized record. Six unique donors is not a Michigan tech-officer directory.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only CTO. The CTO occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 97.0% of the $6,430,020. Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. CTO is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not rank tech firms, merge CIO strings, or claim that CTO-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CTO is not CIO even when one company used both titles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CTO is not a technology-officer roster. Donor state MI is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one CTO filter

Subtract the Michigan dollars on this page from the national CTO occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CTO in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,235,125) 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 6 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 110 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $194,895 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the CTO national total, drops a key. Six donors holding about 3.0% of occupation dollars is the fact to keep next to the $194,895 headline.

Related tables

Cto donations holds the $6,430,020 national occupation total. Michigan 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. The occupations index lists other acronym hubs separately from spelled-out titles.

Nationwide, CTO-coded receipts are $6,430,020 from 12,843 contributions and 660 donors. Michigan is about 3.0% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include Chief Technology Officer as spelled out?

No. This hub is the acronym CTO. Filers who wrote CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER sit in another occupation bucket if that string exists. State is MI. The 6 Michigan donors used occupation CTO and state MI. Filers who wrote CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER or CIO may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Michigan. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $194,895 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to MI; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
