Director political contributions from District of Columbia

Director and District of Columbia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DIRECTOR and donor state DC produce $3,373,916, 11,195 contributions, and 454 donors. The occupation hub is $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 3.4% (11,195 of 330,088); donor share about 2.8% (454 of 16,313). Four hundred fifty-four District of Columbia donors are about 2.8% of 16,313 national donors; 11,195 contributions are about 3.4% of 330,088 national rows; dollars are about 3.8% of $88,429,618.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MANAGING DIRECTOR, and BOARD DIRECTOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Director total. Do not stack DIRECTOR with EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR or MANAGING DIRECTOR into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

454 District of Columbia donors produced 11,195 contributions, about 24.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 20.2 rows per donor nationally (330,088 contributions from 16,313 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this District of Columbia cell is about $301, against about $268 nationwide. The District of Columbia’s about 3.8% share of $88,429,618 sits inside a high-row occupation (330,088 contributions from 16,313 donors).

DIRECTOR as a one-word title bucket

DIRECTOR is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify a board, a film credit, or a District of Columbia employer. The $88,429,618 national total is DIRECTOR only. 16,313 donors produced 330,088 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 330,088 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). Three hundred thirty thousand eighty-eight national contributions make DIRECTOR a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state DC.

District of Columbia as donor state

454 District of Columbia donors produced 11,195 contributions totaling $3,373,916. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a District of Columbia office, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,373,916.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only DIRECTOR. The Director occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 96.2% of the $88,429,618. The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. DIRECTOR is only this filter.

What not to infer from Director plus District of Columbia

This page does not count board seats, merge EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR dollars, or claim that Director-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. DIRECTOR is not EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR even when filers meant a nonprofit or agency title. The string also is not a film-credit extract.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DIRECTOR is not a board-seat census. Donor state DC is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Director filter

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national DIRECTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded DIRECTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($85,055,702) 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 454 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 11,195 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,373,916 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the District of Columbia dollars, or only the DIRECTOR national total, drops a key. Four hundred fifty-four donors producing 11,195 contributions totaling $3,373,916 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Director donations holds the $88,429,618 national occupation total. District of Columbia 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. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
