Financial Services political contributions from New York

Financial Services and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation FINANCIAL SERVICES and donor state NY produce $2,199,594, 2,562 contributions, and 205 donors. The occupation hub is $7,119,440, 14,435 contributions, and 1,146 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 30.9%; contribution share about 17.7% (2,562 of 14,435); donor share about 17.9% (205 of 1,146). Two hundred five New York donors are about 17.9% of 1,146 national donors; 2,562 contributions are about 17.7% of 14,435 national rows; dollars are about 30.9% of $7,119,440.

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

205 New York donors produced 2,562 contributions, about 12.5 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 New York cell is about $859, against about $493 nationwide. New York’s about 30.9% dollar share from 205 people is a large-mean slice of a 1,146-donor occupation, not a NAICS finance-sector rollup.

FINANCIAL SERVICES as a two-word sector string

FINANCIAL SERVICES is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a FINRA registration, a broker-dealer, or an employer. Two words on the form are the filter. 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 New York (NY). One thousand one hundred forty-six national donors make FINANCIAL SERVICES a smaller occupation than FINANCE. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York as the Financial Services state code

205 New York donors produced 2,562 contributions totaling $2,199,594. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Manhattan desk, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,199,594.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only FINANCIAL SERVICES. The Financial Services occupation hub without New York still holds about 69.1% of the $7,119,440. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. FINANCIAL SERVICES is only this filter.

What the Financial Services–New York join is not

This page does not merge Finance dollars, count registered reps, 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 FINANCE even when filers meant a Wall Street job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FINANCIAL SERVICES is not a FINRA census. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Financial Services filter

Subtract the New York 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 ($4,919,846) 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 205 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 2,562 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,199,594 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the FINANCIAL SERVICES national total, drops a key. Two hundred five donors producing 2,562 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,199,594 headline.

Financial Services donations holds the $7,119,440 national occupation total. New York 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. The New York Finance occupation-state cell, if it exists, is a different string and a different URL.
