Finance political contributions from Texas

Finance and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FINANCE and donor state TX produce $2,027,822, 3,996 contributions, and 388 donors. The occupation hub is $63,396,379, 88,566 contributions, and 7,237 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 3.2%; contribution share about 4.5% (3,996 of 88,566); donor share about 5.4% (388 of 7,237). Three hundred eighty-eight Texas donors are about 5.4% of 7,237 national donors; 3,996 contributions are about 4.5% of 88,566 national rows; dollars are about 3.2% of $63,396,379.

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

388 Texas donors produced 3,996 contributions, about 10.3 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 Texas cell is about $507, against about $716 nationwide. Texas’s about 3.2% share of $63,396,379 from 3,996 rows is a modest slice of an 88,566-row one-word occupation.

FINANCE as a one-word sector string

FINANCE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not assign a NAICS code, a Series registration, or an employer. The single word on the form is the filter. 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 Texas (TX). Seven thousand two hundred thirty-seven national donors make FINANCE a large occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state TX.

Texas as the Finance donor-state stamp

388 Texas donors produced 3,996 contributions totaling $2,027,822. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. TX is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Texas desk, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,027,822.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only FINANCE. The Finance occupation hub without Texas still holds about 96.8% of the $63,396,379. Texas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TX. FINANCE is only this filter.

What the Finance–Texas join is not

This page does not merge Financial Services dollars, count registered reps, or claim that Finance-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FINANCE is not FINANCIAL SERVICES. This slice’s New York Financial Services cell is a different pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCE is not a NAICS finance-sector total. Donor state TX is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Finance filter

Subtract the Texas 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 ($61,368,557) 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 388 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 3,996 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,027,822 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the FINANCE national total, drops a key. Three hundred eighty-eight donors producing 3,996 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,027,822 headline.

Finance donations holds the $63,396,379 national occupation total. Texas 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. New York Financial Services in this slice uses a two-word string; do not add those dollars here.
