Director political contributions from Michigan

Director and Michigan as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DIRECTOR and donor state MI produce $4,173,571, 11,464 contributions, and 535 donors. The occupation hub is $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 4.7%; contribution share about 3.5% (11,464 of 330,088); donor share about 3.3% (535 of 16,313). Five hundred thirty-five Michigan donors are about 3.3% of 16,313 national donors; 11,464 contributions are about 3.5% of 330,088 national rows; dollars are about 4.7% of $88,429,618.

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

535 Michigan donors produced 11,464 contributions, about 21.4 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 Michigan cell is about $364, against about $268 nationwide. Michigan’s about 4.7% share of $88,429,618 is a large one-word-title cell, not a board or guild census.

DIRECTOR as a one-word title string

DIRECTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a board seat, a film credit, or a nonprofit filing. 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 Michigan (MI). Sixteen thousand three hundred thirteen national donors make DIRECTOR a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MI.

Michigan on the state side

535 Michigan donors produced 11,464 contributions totaling $4,173,571. 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, not proof of a Michigan workplace, and not a map of which campaigns received the $4,173,571.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only DIRECTOR. The Director occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 95.3% of the $88,429,618. Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. DIRECTOR is only this filter.

What the Director join is not

This page does not split film versus board titles, merge Film 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 FILM DIRECTOR even when filers meant a credit.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DIRECTOR is not a board or guild extract. Donor state MI 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 Michigan 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 ($84,256,047) 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 535 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 11,464 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $4,173,571 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 DIRECTOR national total, drops a key. Five hundred thirty-five donors producing 11,464 contributions totaling $4,173,571 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Director donations holds the $88,429,618 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 Michigan Laborer tie is a different occupation join on the same state code.
