North Carolina donors listing occupation General Contractor

Why General Contractor and North Carolina share one page

LobbyVault keeps a General Contractor occupation page and a North Carolina campaign-finance page. Neither page is this join. The join is $290,706 from 715 contributions and 101 donors where occupation equals GENERAL CONTRACTOR and state equals NC. Against the occupation total of $8,993,979, that is 3.2%. Other states hold $8,703,273.

Do not treat 3.2% as General Contractor workers’ share of all North Carolina receipts. The state hub still holds every other occupation. Do not treat 101 as a headcount of everyone who held the job in North Carolina. The count is donor keys whose itemized receipts grouped to this string. The packet does not publish a party split or an employer split for this pair.

What $8,993,979 on the occupation hub includes

On the occupation side, General Contractor indexes $8,993,979 of itemized individual receipts across 2,103 donors. $290,706 is already inside that total; adding $290,706 to $8,993,979 would double-count the North Carolina slice. General Contractor occupation pages still mix North Carolina with every other state.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR is the two-word string. Builder and Contractor alone are other occupation keys. Licensure and bonding are not verified on FEC forms. Keep the exact string on the citation so General Contractor is not merged with a sibling title. Contractor, Builder, Construction, and GC are other keys. Use the occupation hub to see the title without a state filter, and use this tie page when the question is specifically General Contractor in North Carolina.

Donor keys, lines, and means for General Contractor in North Carolina

715 contributions totaling $290,706 is the operational definition of the North Carolina side for this occupation. Repeat gifts from the same donor key raise the line count without raising 101. About 7.1 lines per donor is consistent with repeat itemization, but it is not proof of a giving program.

Mean $407 per line and $2,878 per donor should never be quoted as a typical General Contractor gift in North Carolina. Typical would need a median. This extract has none. 101 keys can hide a lopsided mix of large and small gifts — both directions are possible and neither is measured here.

The North Carolina hub is not this cell

NC on the record is a mailing-state code. Inside it, General Contractor shows 715 contributions totaling $290,706 from 101 donors. Occupation mean about $2,878 per donor uses only those facts. That ratio is not household income and not a unique-person average.

The North Carolina campaign-finance hub mixes General Contractor with every other occupation string. This page does not. If a citation needs General Contractor in North Carolina, use this tie. If a citation needs all of North Carolina across occupations, use the state hub. If a citation needs all of General Contractor across states, use the occupation hub. Three different denominators.

Public records, not accusations

Public records, not accusations: $290,706 from 715 contributions and 101 donors is a disclosure aggregate. It is not evidence of coordination, quid pro quo, or professional-bloc control. Correlation is not causation. General Contractor × North Carolina is a database join.

Researchers should keep GENERAL CONTRACTOR as the stored occupation string and NC as the donor-state tag. GENERAL CONTRACTOR is the two-word string. Builder and Contractor alone are other occupation keys. Licensure and bonding are not verified on FEC forms. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Live hubs win if they disagree with this snapshot.

Coverage limits on the General Contractor × North Carolina cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation GENERAL CONTRACTOR and donor state NC. $290,706, 715 lines, 101 keys. The occupation total $8,993,979 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

NC is a mailing-state code. That fact locates the contributor address on the record. It does not explain motives. See General Contractor donations, North Carolina campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation General Contractor, donor state North Carolina (NC), $290,706 itemized, 715 contributions, 101 donors, 3.2% of $8,993,979 from 2,103 national donors. GENERAL CONTRACTOR is the two-word string. Builder and Contractor alone are other occupation keys. Licensure and bonding are not verified on FEC forms. Contractor, Builder, Construction, and GC stay on other occupation pages. The North Carolina campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

What is the North Carolina General Contractor contribution total?

$290,706 from 715 itemized contributions and 101 donor keys whose occupation grouped to GENERAL CONTRACTOR and whose state grouped to NC. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $8,993,979. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of General Contractor occupation receipts is North Carolina?

3.2%. That is $290,706 divided by $8,993,979. The complement is $8,703,273 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 2.8% (715 of 25,458).

Does occupation GENERAL CONTRACTOR mean the donors were licensed?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. GENERAL CONTRACTOR is the two-word string. Builder and Contractor alone are other occupation keys. Licensure and bonding are not verified on FEC forms. 101 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $290,706 on 715 lines.

Do these North Carolina donations fund federal spending?

No. $290,706 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged General Contractor and donor state North Carolina. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $290,706. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.
