Financial Services political contributions from Connecticut

The Financial Services–Connecticut intersection

Occupation FINANCIAL SERVICES and donor state CT produce $438,827, 781 contributions, and 43 donors. The occupation hub is $7,119,440, 14,435 contributions, and 1,146 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 6.2%; contribution share about 5.4% (781 of 14,435); donor share about 3.8% (43 of 1,146). Forty-three Connecticut donors sit inside 1,146 national FINANCIAL SERVICES donors. Dollars ($438,827 of $7,119,440) run ahead of donor share on this 781-row cell.

FINANCIAL ADVISOR, BANKER, and INVESTMENT ADVISOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack FINANCIAL SERVICES with FINANCIAL ADVISOR or BANKER into a single Connecticut professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

43 Connecticut donors produced 781 contributions, about 18.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.6 rows per donor nationally (14,435 contributions from 1,146 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $562, against about $493 nationwide. Connecticut’s $438,827 is not a Hartford insurance-payroll total and not a Greenwich hedge-fund census. Do not stack TRADER or INVESTMENT ADVISOR Connecticut dollars onto this cell.

FINANCIAL SERVICES as a workplace label

FINANCIAL SERVICES is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not identify a product line, a regulator, or an employer. The $7,119,440 national total is FINANCIAL SERVICES only. 1,146 donors produced 14,435 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 14,435 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). Fourteen thousand four hundred thirty-five national contributions make this a modest occupation. This tie locates the Connecticut overlap.

Connecticut as donor state

43 Connecticut donors produced 781 contributions totaling $438,827. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record. Forty-three unique donors is not a Connecticut finance directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $438,827.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only FINANCIAL SERVICES. The Financial Services occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 93.8% of the $7,119,440. Connecticut’s state hub includes every occupation coded to CT. FINANCIAL SERVICES is only this filter.

What not to infer from Financial Services plus Connecticut

This page does not count FINRA firms, mix trader dollars into this cell, or claim that Financial Services-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. FINANCIAL SERVICES is not INVESTMENT ADVISOR and not TRADER even when filers meant adjacent roles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCIAL SERVICES is not a NAICS or FINRA extract. Donor state CT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. CRD numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Financial Services filter

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national FINANCIAL SERVICES occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded FINANCIAL SERVICES in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,680,613) 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 43 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 781 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $438,827 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the FINANCIAL SERVICES national total, drops a key. Forty-three donors producing 781 contributions totaling $438,827 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
