Finance political contributions from New York

Finance plus New York in the FEC join

Occupation FINANCE and state NY yield $24,125,994, 23,045 contributions, and 2,145 donors. The occupation nationwide is $63,396,379, 88,566 contributions, and 7,237 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 38%. Contribution share is about 26% (23,045 of 88,566). Donor share is about 30% (2,145 of 7,237).

The dollar share exceeds the contribution share, which means New York Finance-coded rows carry more dollars per itemized gift than the national mix, as a feature of these aggregates. That is not a finding about compensation or about which products people trade. It is the overlap of two FEC columns.

Finance–New York is a short occupation string with a large state cell: $24,125,994 from 23,045 contributions and 2,145 donors, inside $63,396,379 from 88,566 contributions and 7,237 donors. About 30% of Finance-coded people, about 26% of Finance-coded rows, and about 38% of Finance-coded dollars are NY-coded. Dollar share leads row share. Neighboring titles—Banker, Investment Banker, Managing Director—are other occupation pages with other New York ties. Adding those New York cells to $24,125,994 would invent a combined finance-sector figure. This page keeps Finance only. Donor state NY does not mean the 23,045 contributions went to New York candidates. The Finance hub holds $63,396,379; the New York hub holds every occupation in the state.

Finance as a broad occupation string

FINANCE is a short label. Banker, investment banker, and managing director are separate occupation pages when filers used those words. This grouping’s national totals are 7,237 donors, 88,566 contributions, and $63,396,379—only the string Finance.

Eighty-eight thousand contributions from 7,237 donors shows repeat itemization. New York’s 23,045 contributions from 2,145 donors is the NY-coded portion, not a headcount of New York Stock Exchange members.

New York as donor state

The NY filter is $24,125,994 from 23,045 contributions and 2,145 donors. Donor state is the address on the record. Recipients may file from any state. This join does not allocate the $24,125,994 to New York federal candidates versus others.

New York campaign finance overall includes every occupation coded to NY. Banker, investor, and lawyer New York ties are other joins.

What not to read into the overlap

A large New York share of Finance-coded dollars does not show that the financial sector funded a party, and it does not treat donations as federal awards. These are FEC individual receipts, not USAspending obligations. Correlation between FINANCE and NY is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions only, from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Where each side of the table lives

Finance donations holds the $63,396,379 national occupation total. New York campaign finance holds all NY-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and all FEC ties list other occupation-state pairs built from the same two fields.

Finance as a short string among neighboring titles

FINANCE is three syllables on a form. Banker, investment banker, and managing director are other occupation pages when filers used those words. This page’s $24,125,994 from 2,145 donors is Finance plus NY only. Summing neighboring New York title-joins would invent a combined finance-sector total that is not a fact here.

The Finance occupation hub holds $63,396,379 from 7,237 donors and 88,566 contributions. New York campaign finance holds every occupation coded to NY. This tie is both filters. All occupations and all FEC ties keep the neighboring title-joins on other URLs. Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov; independent expenditures excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
