Editor political contributions from New York

Editor and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation EDITOR and donor state NY produce $4,151,932, 18,018 contributions, and 507 donors. The occupation hub is $12,055,499, 72,579 contributions, and 1,922 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 34.4%; contribution share about 24.8% (18,018 of 72,579); donor share about 26.4% (507 of 1,922). Five hundred seven New York donors are about 26.4% of 1,922 national donors; 18,018 contributions are about 24.8% of 72,579 national rows; dollars are about 34.4% of $12,055,499.

WRITER, JOURNALIST, and MANAGING EDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Editor total. Do not stack EDITOR with WRITER or JOURNALIST into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

507 New York donors produced 18,018 contributions, about 35.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 37.8 rows per donor nationally (72,579 contributions from 1,922 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $230, against about $166 nationwide. New York’s about 34.4% dollar share from 507 people is a geographically heavy slice of a 1,922-donor occupation.

EDITOR as a publishing-title string

EDITOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a masthead, a union card, or an employer. The $12,055,499 national total is EDITOR only. 1,922 donors produced 72,579 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 72,579 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York (NY). One thousand nine hundred twenty-two national donors make EDITOR a mid-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

507 New York donors produced 18,018 contributions totaling $4,151,932. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York newsroom, and not a map of which campaigns received the $4,151,932.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only EDITOR. The Editor occupation hub without New York still holds about 65.6% of the $12,055,499. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. EDITOR is only this filter.

What the Editor join is not

This page does not count newsrooms, merge Writer dollars, or claim that Editor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. EDITOR is not WRITER even when filers meant the same desk.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. EDITOR is not a masthead extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Publication names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Editor filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national EDITOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded EDITOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($7,903,567) 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 507 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 18,018 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $4,151,932 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the EDITOR national total, drops a key. Five hundred seven donors producing 18,018 contributions totaling $4,151,932 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Editor donations holds the $12,055,499 national occupation total. New York 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. WRITER is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
