Financial Advisor political contributions from California

Financial Advisor and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FINANCIAL ADVISOR and donor state CA produce $4,663,022, 11,780 contributions, and 733 donors. The occupation hub is $27,416,858, 93,373 contributions, and 5,398 donors. The three shares are 17.0% of dollars, 12.6% of contributions, and 13.6% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $4,663,022 drops the row and donor keys. California Financial Advisor is a mid-teens slice of a large advice-title bucket.

Financial Advisor is a advice title as typed, including the -OR spelling. Nearby strings — FINANCIAL ADVISER, WEALTH MANAGER, INVESTMENT ADVISOR, and BROKER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,663,022 or $27,416,858. Advisor versus Adviser is a spelling split the FEC field keeps if filers used both.

Seven hundred thirty-three California donors produced 11,780 contributions, about 16.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 17.3 rows per donor nationally (93,373 contributions from 5,398 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this California cell are about $6,362, versus about $5,079 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

Financial Advisor as a national occupation grouping

FINANCIAL ADVISOR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify Series 7, CFP marks, or California DBO registration. The national grouping is 5,398 donors, 93,373 contributions, and $27,416,858.

93,373 contributions from 5,398 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. California’s 11,780 contributions from 733 donors is the CA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California.

California on the state side

Seven hundred thirty-three California donors produced 11,780 contributions totaling $4,663,022. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California professional license, and not a limit to California candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only FINANCIAL ADVISOR. Subtract $4,663,022 from $27,416,858 and $22,753,836 remains coded Financial Advisor in every other state combined (81,593 contributions, 4,665 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Financial Advisor–California join is not

This page does not measure financial advisor output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Financial Advisor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Form ADV roster, not a CFP-board extract, and not a FINRA BrokerCheck dump.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state CA is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one Financial Advisor filter

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $4,663,022, 11,780 contributions, and 733 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Financial Advisor national total, drops a key.

Financial Advisor donations holds the $27,416,858 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. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Advisor versus Adviser is a spelling split the FEC field keeps if filers used both.
