Educator political contributions from Wyoming

The Educator–Wyoming intersection

Occupation EDUCATOR and donor state WY produce $752,170, 879 contributions, and 11 donors. The occupation hub is $20,047,617, 167,624 contributions, and 4,257 donors. Wyoming’s dollar share is about 3.8%; contribution share about 0.5% (879 of 167,624); donor share about 0.3% (11 of 4,257). Eleven Wyoming donors are about 0.3% of 4,257 national EDUCATOR donors, while dollars are a much larger slice of $20,047,617. Eight hundred seventy-nine contributions from 11 people is a high-repeat pattern.

TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack EDUCATOR with TEACHER or PROFESSOR into a single Wyoming professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

11 Wyoming donors produced 879 contributions, about 79.9 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 Wyoming cell is about $856, against about $120 nationwide. Wyoming’s $752,170 from 11 donors is not a typical classroom gift and not a statewide teacher headcount. A unique-donor count of 11 can still hide name-matching limits in the FEC aggregate.

EDUCATOR as a workplace label

EDUCATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a teaching certificate, a district, or a grade level. 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 Wyoming (WY). One hundred sixty-seven thousand six hundred twenty-four national contributions make EDUCATOR a high-volume occupation. This tie locates a thin Wyoming overlap.

Wyoming as donor state

11 Wyoming donors produced 879 contributions totaling $752,170. Donor state WY is the address on the record, not proof of a Wyoming license, and not a limit to Wyoming candidates. WY is the address on the itemized record. Eleven unique donors is not a Wyoming teacher directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $752,170.

The Wyoming campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WY. This join is only EDUCATOR. The Educator occupation hub without Wyoming still holds about 96.2% of the $20,047,617. Wyoming’s state hub includes every occupation coded to WY. EDUCATOR is only this filter.

What not to infer from Educator plus Wyoming

This page does not count teachers, rank districts, 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 certification or union extract. Donor state WY 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 Wyoming 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 ($19,295,447) 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 11 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 879 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $752,170 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Wyoming dollars, or only the EDUCATOR national total, drops a key. Eleven donors producing 879 contributions totaling $752,170 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Educator donations holds the $20,047,617 national occupation total. Wyoming 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.
