Geologist political contributions from Nevada

Geologist and Nevada as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation GEOLOGIST and donor state NV produce $110,984, 622 contributions, and 28 donors. The occupation hub is $9,308,121, 24,898 contributions, and 1,311 donors. Nevada’s dollar share is about 1.2%; contribution share about 2.5% (622 of 24,898); donor share about 2.1% (28 of 1,311). Twenty-eight Nevada donors are about 2.1% of 1,311 national donors; 622 contributions are about 2.5% of 24,898 national rows; dollars are about 1.2% of $9,308,121.

MINING ENGINEER, GEOLOGICAL ENGINEER, and GEOPHYSICIST, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Geologist total. Do not stack GEOLOGIST with MINING ENGINEER or GEOPHYSICIST into a single Nevada professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

28 Nevada donors produced 622 contributions, about 22.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.0 rows per donor nationally (24,898 contributions from 1,311 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Nevada cell is about $178, against about $374 nationwide. Nevada’s about 2.5% contribution share from 28 people is a high-repeat slice (about 22.2 rows per donor) of a mid-size occupation.

GEOLOGIST as a professional-title string

GEOLOGIST is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a professional-geologist license, a mine, or a Nevada employer. One word on the form is the filter. The $9,308,121 national total is GEOLOGIST only. 1,311 donors produced 24,898 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 24,898 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Nevada (NV). One thousand three hundred eleven national donors make this a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NV.

Nevada as donor state

28 Nevada donors produced 622 contributions totaling $110,984. Donor state NV is the address on the record, not proof of a Nevada license, and not a limit to Nevada candidates. NV is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Nevada geologic survey job, and not a map of which campaigns received the $110,984.

The Nevada campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NV. This join is only GEOLOGIST. The Geologist occupation hub without Nevada still holds about 98.8% of the $9,308,121. Nevada’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NV. GEOLOGIST is only this filter.

What not to infer from Geologist plus Nevada

This page does not count licensed geologists, merge mining-engineer dollars, or claim that Geologist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. GEOLOGIST is not MINING ENGINEER even when filers meant extractive work. High row counts (622) can be many small itemized gifts.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GEOLOGIST is not a Nevada professional-geologist license extract. Donor state NV is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers and mine names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Geologist filter

Subtract the Nevada dollars on this page from the national GEOLOGIST occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded GEOLOGIST in every other state combined. That remainder ($9,197,137) 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 28 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 622 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $110,984 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Nevada dollars, or only the GEOLOGIST national total, drops a key. Twenty-eight donors producing 622 contributions totaling $110,984 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Geologist donations holds the $9,308,121 national occupation total. Nevada 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. MINING ENGINEER is a different occupation hub if that string exists.

Questions

How much have Geologist donors in Nevada given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation GEOLOGIST and state Nevada total $110,984, from 622 contributions and 28 donors. Nationwide, GEOLOGIST-coded receipts are $9,308,121 from 24,898 contributions and 1,311 donors. Nevada is about 1.2% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these licensed Nevada geologists?

The FEC file does not verify licenses. Occupation is the string GEOLOGIST and state is NV. Twenty-eight donors are not a board roster. Filers who wrote MINING ENGINEER may sit in another bucket. The 28 Nevada donors used occupation GEOLOGIST and state NV. Filers who wrote MINING ENGINEER or GEOPHYSICIST may sit in a different occupation bucket. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov is the source.

What share of Geologist FEC money is from Nevada?

About 1.2% of the $9,308,121 occupation total is in this Nevada join ($110,984). Nevada also accounts for about 2.5% of contributions (622 of 24,898) and about 2.1% of donors (28 of 1,311). About 1.2% of dollars from 28 of 1,311 donors and 622 of 24,898 contributions.

Does this money go to Nevada candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Nevada. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $110,984 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to NV; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
