Educator political contributions from California

Educator and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation EDUCATOR and donor state CA produce $4,061,685, 37,225 contributions, and 747 donors. The occupation hub is $20,047,617, 167,624 contributions, and 4,257 donors. California’s dollar share is about 20.3%; contribution share about 22.2% (37,225 of 167,624); donor share about 17.5% (747 of 4,257). Seven hundred forty-seven California donors are about 17.5% of 4,257 national donors; 37,225 contributions are about 22.2% of 167,624 national rows; dollars are about 20.3% of $20,047,617.

TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and INSTRUCTOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Educator total. Do not stack EDUCATOR with TEACHER or PROFESSOR into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

747 California donors produced 37,225 contributions, about 49.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 39.4 rows per donor nationally (167,624 contributions from 4,257 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $109, against about $120 nationwide. California’s 37,225 rows from 747 people is a high-repeat slice of a 167,624-row occupation.

EDUCATOR as a one-word professional string

EDUCATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a teaching credential, a campus, or a district payroll. The $20,047,617 national total is EDUCATOR only. 4,257 donors produced 167,624 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 167,624 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Four thousand two hundred fifty-seven national donors make EDUCATOR a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

747 California donors produced 37,225 contributions totaling $4,061,685. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California credential, and not a map of which campaigns received the $4,061,685.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only EDUCATOR. The Educator occupation hub without California still holds about 79.7% of the $20,047,617. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. EDUCATOR is only this filter.

What the Educator join is not

This page does not count credentialed teachers, merge Teacher dollars, or claim that Educator-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. EDUCATOR is not TEACHER even when filers meant a classroom role.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. EDUCATOR is not a credential-file extract. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. District names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Educator filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national EDUCATOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded EDUCATOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($15,985,932) 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 747 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 37,225 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $4,061,685 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the EDUCATOR national total, drops a key. Seven hundred forty-seven donors producing 37,225 contributions totaling $4,061,685 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Educator donations holds the $20,047,617 national occupation total. California 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. TEACHER is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
