General Manager political contributions from California

General Manager and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation GENERAL MANAGER and donor state CA produce $3,481,586, 12,452 contributions, and 600 donors. The occupation hub is $26,732,218, 86,873 contributions, and 5,386 donors. California’s dollar share is about 13.0%; contribution share about 14.3% (12,452 of 86,873); donor share about 11.1% (600 of 5,386). Contribution share (about 14.3%) runs slightly ahead of dollar share (about 13.0%) and further ahead of donor share (about 11.1%). Six hundred California donors produced 12,452 contributions totaling $3,481,586.

MANAGER, OPERATIONS MANAGER, STORE MANAGER, and GM, if used, sit in other occupation hubs. Do not stack those strings onto this California cell or the $26,732,218 national GENERAL MANAGER total. Do not stack GENERAL MANAGER with MANAGER, OPERATIONS MANAGER, or STORE MANAGER into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

600 California donors produced 12,452 contributions, about 20.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.1 rows per donor nationally (86,873 contributions from 5,386 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $280, against about $308 nationwide. About 20.8 itemized rows per California donor versus about 16.1 nationwide (86,873 contributions from 5,386 donors) is a higher-repeat California cell inside a high-volume title.

GENERAL MANAGER as a workplace title

GENERAL MANAGER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a reporting line, a unit count, or for-profit versus nonprofit status. GENERAL MANAGER is the occupation string as stored. The $26,732,218 national total is GENERAL MANAGER only. 5,386 donors produced 86,873 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 86,873 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Eighty-six thousand eight hundred seventy-three national contributions from 5,386 donors make GENERAL MANAGER a high-volume bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

600 California donors produced 12,452 contributions totaling $3,481,586. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,481,586.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only GENERAL MANAGER. The General Manager occupation hub without California still holds about 87.0% of the $26,732,218. California’s campaign-finance hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. GENERAL MANAGER is only this filter. A Washington General Manager tie, if it exists, is another state cell.

What the General Manager–California join is not

This page does not rank workplaces, merge MANAGER strings, or claim that General Manager-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. GENERAL MANAGER is not MANAGER even when a workplace used both titles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GENERAL MANAGER is not an org-chart extract. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names and job grades are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one General Manager filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national GENERAL MANAGER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded GENERAL MANAGER in every other state combined. That remainder ($23,250,632) 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 600 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 12,452 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,481,586 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the GENERAL MANAGER national total, drops a key. Six hundred California donors producing 12,452 contributions is the frequency fact to keep next to the $3,481,586 headline. Dollar share about 13.0% is a minority of the $26,732,218 occupation book.
