Director political contributions from New Jersey

Director and New Jersey as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation DIRECTOR and donor state NJ produce $2,224,005, 12,330 contributions, and 487 donors. The occupation hub is $88,429,618, 330,088 contributions, and 16,313 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 2.5%; contribution share about 3.7% (12,330 of 330,088); donor share about 3.0% (487 of 16,313). Four hundred eighty-seven New Jersey donors are about 3.0% of 16,313 national donors; 12,330 contributions are about 3.7% of 330,088 national rows; dollars are about 2.5% of $88,429,618.

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

487 New Jersey donors produced 12,330 contributions, about 25.3 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 New Jersey cell is about $180, against about $268 nationwide. New Jersey’s about 2.5% share of $88,429,618 from 12,330 rows is a high-repeat slice of a 330,088-row occupation.

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 nonprofit board, a film credit, or a corporate officer. 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 New Jersey (NJ). 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 NJ.

New Jersey on the Director address field

487 New Jersey donors produced 12,330 contributions totaling $2,224,005. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,224,005.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only DIRECTOR. The Director occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 97.5% of the $88,429,618. New Jersey’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NJ. DIRECTOR is only this filter.

What the Director–New Jersey join is not

This page does not count board seats, merge managing-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 MANAGING DIRECTOR even when filers meant a more specific title.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. DIRECTOR is not a director-title census. Donor state NJ 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 New Jersey 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 ($86,205,613) 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 487 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 12,330 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,224,005 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the DIRECTOR national total, drops a key. Four hundred eighty-seven donors producing 12,330 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,224,005 headline.

Director donations holds the $88,429,618 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Illinois and other states have Director occupation-state ties; those cells are other pairs.
