Editor political contributions from Pennsylvania

The Editor–Pennsylvania intersection

Occupation EDITOR and donor state PA produce $453,397, 1,833 contributions, and 48 donors. The occupation hub is $12,055,499, 72,579 contributions, and 1,922 donors. Pennsylvania’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 2.5% (1,833 of 72,579); donor share about 2.5% (48 of 1,922). Forty-eight Pennsylvania donors sit inside 1,922 national EDITOR donors. Contribution volume (1,833 of 72,579) outruns donor share on this high-repeat cell.

WRITER, JOURNALIST, and MANAGING EDITOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack EDITOR with WRITER or JOURNALIST into a single Pennsylvania professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

48 Pennsylvania donors produced 1,833 contributions, about 38.2 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 Pennsylvania cell is about $247, against about $166 nationwide. Pennsylvania’s $453,397 from 48 people and 1,833 rows is a high-frequency slice, not a Philadelphia newsroom headcount. Book, magazine, and news editors can share the same four letters.

EDITOR as a publishing-title string

EDITOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a masthead, a guild 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 Pennsylvania (PA). Seventy-two thousand five hundred seventy-nine national contributions make EDITOR a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the Pennsylvania overlap.

Pennsylvania as donor state

48 Pennsylvania donors produced 1,833 contributions totaling $453,397. Donor state PA is the address on the record, not proof of a Pennsylvania license, and not a limit to Pennsylvania candidates. PA is the address on the itemized record. Forty-eight unique donors is not a Pennsylvania newsroom directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $453,397.

The Pennsylvania campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to PA. This join is only EDITOR. The Editor occupation hub without Pennsylvania still holds about 96.2% of the $12,055,499. Pennsylvania’s state hub includes every occupation coded to PA. EDITOR is only this filter.

What not to infer from Editor plus Pennsylvania

This page does not count newsrooms, rank publishers, 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 and not JOURNALIST even when filers meant adjacent roles.

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

Three numbers, two fields, one Editor filter

Subtract the Pennsylvania 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 ($11,602,102) 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 48 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 1,833 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $453,397 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Pennsylvania dollars, or only the EDITOR national total, drops a key. Forty-eight donors producing 1,833 contributions totaling $453,397 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
