Director political contributions from Virginia

DIRECTOR and Virginia, joined

Filter FEC individual receipts to occupation DIRECTOR and contributor state Virginia and the dollars are $4,400,066. That is about 5% of $88,429,618 nationally. Virginia’s 15,325 contributions are about 5% of 330,088. Its 912 donors are about 6% of 16,313. The shares line up. Virginia is a noticeable but minority piece of a very large, vague job word.

Average itemized gift in the Virginia join is about $287 ($4,400,066 / 15,325). Managing director, executive director, and director of a named function are not rolled into DIRECTOR. Those strings, when they exist, have their own occupation pages.

Fifteen thousand three hundred twenty-five Virginia DIRECTOR gifts are about 5% of 330,088 nationally, matching the 5% dollar share of $88,429,618. Nine hundred twelve of 16,313 donors is about 6%. Texas DIRECTOR is the larger sibling. MANAGING DIRECTOR is a different occupation. VA on the receipt is the only geography this cell uses.

DIRECTOR as a national catch-all

Sixteen thousand three hundred thirteen donors used DIRECTOR on itemized receipts totaling $88,429,618 across 330,088 gifts. Boards, nonprofits, and corporate staff share the word. The aggregate does not split them.

Most DIRECTOR dollars sit outside Virginia ($88,429,618 minus $4,400,066). Texas’s DIRECTOR tie uses the same $88,429,618 denominator and is a larger dollar cell. Neither state is the occupation’s owner in this table.

Nine hundred twelve Virginia donors

Nine hundred twelve Virginia donors produced 15,325 DIRECTOR-tagged contributions totaling $4,400,066. Repeat itemization is present. The Virginia campaign-finance hub places this title beside lobbyist, principal, and other VA occupations so a generic director label is not treated as all Northern Virginia professional giving.

A Pentagon-area or Richmond address with occupation DIRECTOR enters the $4,400,066. A DC workplace with a Maryland home address does not, unless the receipt lists VA. Donor state is not commuting geography.

LOBBYIST and PRINCIPAL also have Virginia ties. They are other occupations. DIRECTOR’s 912 donors should not be treated as an influence census. The Virginia hub sizes $4,400,066 against other VA strings; the DIRECTOR hub sizes Virginia against 16,313 minus 912 donors.

Caveats

DIRECTOR does not identify an employer or a sector. The join does not say Virginia directors funded Virginia candidates. Occupation is not causation. $4,400,066 is labeled itemized giving.

A generic title in a capital-adjacent state

Virginia DIRECTOR at $4,400,066 from 912 donors and 15,325 gifts is about 5% of $88,429,618 nationally — the same huge denominator as Texas DIRECTOR ($7,907,430 from 1,191 donors). Virginia is the smaller proportional cut. Managing director is a different string with a New Jersey join; it is not inside these 912 keys.

Average gift about $287 matches the generic-title, high-volume pattern. Boards, nonprofits, and corporate staff share the word. Northern Virginia commuting means a DC workplace often pairs with a VA address — those receipts are here — or a VA workplace with a MD address — those are not.

Nine hundred twelve Virginia donors, 15,325 gifts, $4,400,066, about 5% of $88,429,618. Texas DIRECTOR is the larger sibling on the same generic title. MANAGING DIRECTOR is a different string. Commuting between DC, Maryland, and Virginia decides which state field appears. This join keeps only VA. The remaining 15,401 of 16,313 DIRECTOR donors are not on this page.

Questions

How much did Virginia Director donors give according to the FEC?

Donors listing occupation DIRECTOR with a Virginia address reported $4,400,066 in itemized individual contributions, from 912 donors and 15,325 receipts. That is about 5% of the $88,429,618 recorded nationally under DIRECTOR. The total is not a directory of Virginia boards or agencies.

Does DIRECTOR mean a corporate board seat?

Not necessarily. FEC occupation is free text. DIRECTOR can mean many jobs. The 16,313 national donors and 912 Virginia donors are grouped only by that string. Employer detail, when present, is on individual receipts, not in this $4,400,066 aggregate.

How does Virginia compare with the national Director total?

Virginia is about 5% of dollars ($4,400,066 of $88,429,618), about 5% of contributions (15,325 of 330,088), and about 6% of donors (912 of 16,313). Average itemized gift in the Virginia join is about $287. Most DIRECTOR money is attributed to other states.

Did these contributions go to Virginia candidates?

The join filters donor state and occupation, not recipient. A Virginia-addressed DIRECTOR can give to any FEC committee. Tracing the $4,400,066 from 15,325 receipts requires committee-level receipts The packet totals for this join remain the occupation–state filter described above, with no extra dollar figures beyond those facts.
