Finance political contributions from Illinois

Finance and Illinois as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FINANCE and donor state IL produce $2,823,739, 4,703 contributions, and 313 donors. The occupation hub is $63,396,379, 88,566 contributions, and 7,237 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 4.5%; contribution share about 5.3% (4,703 of 88,566); donor share about 4.3% (313 of 7,237). Three hundred thirteen Illinois donors are about 4.3% of 7,237 national donors; 4,703 contributions are about 5.3% of 88,566 national rows; dollars are about 4.5% of $63,396,379.

FINANCIAL ADVISOR, BANKER, and CFO, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Finance total. Do not stack FINANCE with BANKER or FINANCIAL ADVISOR into a single Illinois professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

313 Illinois donors produced 4,703 contributions, about 15.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.2 rows per donor nationally (88,566 contributions from 7,237 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Illinois cell is about $600, against about $716 nationwide. Illinois’s about 4.5% share of $63,396,379 from 4,703 rows is a mid-size professional slice, not a Chicago trading-floor census.

FINANCE as a department-word bucket

FINANCE is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A is a coarse filter. It does not identify a bank, a hedge fund, or a corporate treasury. The $63,396,379 national total is FINANCE only. 7,237 donors produced 88,566 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 88,566 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Illinois (IL). Eighty-eight thousand five hundred sixty-six national contributions make FINANCE a mid-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IL.

Illinois on the contribution address

313 Illinois donors produced 4,703 contributions totaling $2,823,739. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. IL is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Illinois finance shop, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,823,739.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only FINANCE. The Finance occupation hub without Illinois still holds about 95.5% of the $63,396,379. Illinois’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IL. FINANCE is only this filter.

What the Finance–Illinois join is not

This page does not measure bank assets, merge banker dollars, or claim that Finance-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FINANCE is not BANKER even when filers meant a financial workplace.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCE is not a NAICS banking extract. Donor state IL is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Finance filter

Subtract the Illinois dollars on this page from the national FINANCE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FINANCE in every other state combined. That remainder ($60,572,640) 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 313 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 4,703 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,823,739 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the FINANCE national total, drops a key. Three hundred thirteen donors producing 4,703 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,823,739 headline.

All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Illinois also has Investor and Principal occupation-state ties in this slice with different facts.
