General Counsel political contributions from Maryland

Maryland General Counsel as a higher-mean legal cell

Occupation GENERAL COUNSEL and donor state MD produce $357,962, 542 contributions, and 56 donors. The occupation hub is $16,811,333, 19,099 contributions, and 1,446 donors. Maryland’s dollar share is about 2.1%; contribution share about 2.8% (542 of 19,099); donor share about 3.9% (56 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 Maryland occupations.

ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack GENERAL COUNSEL with those strings into a single Maryland 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.

The arithmetic mean gift in this Maryland cell is about $660 ($357,962 divided by 542 lines), against about $880 nationwide ($16,811,333 divided by 19,099). 56 Maryland donors produced 542 contributions, about 9.7 itemized rows per donor, versus about 13.2 nationally. A mean is not a median and not a typical check. Skew from a few large itemized gifts can move $660 without changing the unique-donor count of 56.

GENERAL COUNSEL kept separate from LAWYER

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 Maryland (MD). 19,099 national contributions make GENERAL COUNSEL a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Maryland 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.

Maryland addresses on in-house counsel lines

56 Maryland donors produced 542 contributions totaling $357,962. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. MD is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $357,962. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from MD-coded donors.

The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only GENERAL COUNSEL. The General Counsel occupation hub without Maryland still holds about 97.9% of the $16,811,333 (remainder $16,453,371). Maryland’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MD. GENERAL COUNSEL is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Employer and bar state are not in the six packet numbers

A 2.1% dollar share in Maryland 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 56 unique donors as a bar-admission roster or in-house legal headcount. GENERAL COUNSEL is not interchangeable with ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL.

Quote $357,962, 542 contributions, and 56 donors for General Counsel in Maryland, 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 Maryland—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Maryland General Counsel dollars, gifts, and donors

A complete claim names General Counsel and Maryland (MD), then $357,962, 542 contributions, 56 donors, and 2.1% of $16,811,333, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Maryland: $16,453,371. Mean gift $660 is $357,962 divided by 542 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 Maryland 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 ($16,453,371) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 56 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.

In-house legal hubs and Maryland campaign finance

General Counsel donations holds the $16,811,333 national occupation total. Maryland 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.

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string GENERAL COUNSEL and state is MD. 56 donors are not a bar-admission roster or in-house legal headcount. ATTORNEY, LAWYER, and COUNSEL, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to General Counsel. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Open Maryland campaign finance for every occupation coded to MD; open General Counsel donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
