Government Affairs political contributions from Oregon

Government Affairs and Oregon as an advocacy-title join

Occupation GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS and donor state OR produce $78,568, 178 contributions, and 12 donors. The occupation hub is $8,440,747, 17,735 contributions, and 947 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (0.9%, 1.0%, 1.3%). Oregon tracks the national Government Affairs mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Oregon Government Affairs donor share sits slightly above dollar share on a two-word advocacy title.

Government Affairs is a two-word advocacy title as typed, not a Lobbyist recode. Nearby strings — LOBBYIST, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, and CONSULTANT — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $78,568 or $8,440,747. Do not invent client or firm names. Lobbyist is a different occupation hub if a filer used that shorter word.

Twelve Oregon donors produced 178 contributions, about 14.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 18.7 rows per donor nationally (17,735 contributions from 947 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Oregon cell are about $6,547, versus about $8,913 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS versus Lobbyist and Public Affairs

GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an Oregon lobbyist registration, a named client, or a Capitol credential. The national grouping is 947 donors, 17,735 contributions, and $8,440,747.

Seventeen thousand seven hundred thirty-five contributions from 947 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Oregon’s 178 contributions from 12 donors is the OR-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Oregon.

Twelve Oregon donors on the affairs label

Twelve Oregon donors produced 178 contributions totaling $78,568. Donor state OR is the address on the record, not proof of a Oregon professional license, and not a limit to Oregon candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Oregon campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OR. This join is only GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS. Subtract $78,568 from $8,440,747 and $8,362,179 remains coded Government Affairs in every other state combined (17,557 contributions, 935 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Donor share a bit above dollar share on an advocacy title

This page does not measure government affairs output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Government Affairs-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an Oregon lobbyist-registration extract, not a named-client roster, and not a legislative payroll.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state OR is not recipient geography.

Advocacy strings that remain unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $78,568, 178 contributions, and 12 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Oregon dollars, or only the Government Affairs national total, drops a key.

Government Affairs donations holds the $8,440,747 national occupation total. Oregon 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. LOBBYIST, GOVERNMENT RELATIONS, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Do not invent client or firm names. Lobbyist is a different occupation hub if a filer used that shorter word.
