GEOLOGIST as typed

The occupation-wide total is $9,308,121. The string does not say Texas. Filers outside Texas can appear if the receipt stored Geologist and C00701656. Petroleum geologist can exist as another key.

A filer can list Geologist and never appear in $2,000,000. A filer can list another occupation on C00701656 and sit outside this join.

Quote Geologist for the occupation-wide $9,308,121 and quote ENGAGE TEXAS (C00701656) for the committee overlay. The overlap remains $2,000,000 across 5 itemized receipts, 21.5% of the occupation book, mean $400,000. Remainder $7,308,121 (78.5%) went to other federal committees that stored the same occupation string. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Itemized individual contributions only; independent expenditures are outside the source note. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $2,000,000 to $9,308,121.

What 21.5 percent does not prove

21.5% is this committee’s share of Geologist itemized dollars, not the share of Texas geologists who give. Inverting the percentage needs the committee’s all-occupation total, which is not here.

Oil-and-gas folklore, licensing, and motive are not fields. The join is two FEC labels. Correlation is not causation.
