General Counsel political contributions from District of Columbia

General Counsel itemized money from DC addresses

Occupation GENERAL COUNSEL and donor state DC produce $531,577, 2,127 contributions, and 68 donors. The occupation hub is $16,811,333, 19,099 contributions, and 1,446 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 3.2%; contribution share about 11.1% (2,127 of 19,099); donor share about 4.7% (68 of 1,446). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the General Counsel hub and not a restatement of all District of Columbia occupations.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack GENERAL COUNSEL with those strings into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

68 District of Columbia donors produced 2,127 contributions, about 31.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.2 rows per donor nationally (19,099 contributions from 1,446 donors). Line volume in District of Columbia is the distinctive feature of this cell: 11.1% of national GENERAL COUNSEL contributions against a 3.2% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this District of Columbia cell is about $250, against about $880 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

GENERAL COUNSEL as an in-house legal string

GENERAL COUNSEL is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $16,811,333 national total is GENERAL COUNSEL only. 1,446 donors produced 19,099 contributions in that occupation bucket. GENERAL COUNSEL is an in-house legal title, not a bar-admission roster or in-house legal headcount. Nearby labels ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 19,099 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). 19,099 national contributions make GENERAL COUNSEL a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the District of Columbia overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

District of Columbia donor-state coding

68 District of Columbia donors produced 2,127 contributions totaling $531,577. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $531,577. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from DC-coded donors.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only GENERAL COUNSEL. The General Counsel occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 96.8% of the $16,811,333 (remainder $16,279,756). District of Columbia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. GENERAL COUNSEL is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Bar status is not in these six numbers

A 3.2% dollar share in District of Columbia does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 68 unique donors as a bar-admission roster or in-house legal headcount. GENERAL COUNSEL is not interchangeable with ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL.

Quote $531,577, 2,127 contributions, and 68 donors for General Counsel in District of Columbia, against $16,811,333 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—General Counsel and District of Columbia—whenever the dollars are quoted.

How to cite General Counsel in the District of Columbia

A complete claim names General Counsel and District of Columbia (DC), then $531,577, 2,127 contributions, 68 donors, and 3.2% of $16,811,333, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside District of Columbia: $16,279,756. Mean gift $250 is $531,577 divided by 2,127 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national GENERAL COUNSEL occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded GENERAL COUNSEL in every other state combined. That remainder ($16,279,756) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 68 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Legal-title hubs and the DC state page

General Counsel donations holds the $16,811,333 national occupation total. District of Columbia 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.
