Governor political contributions from Arkansas

The Governor–Arkansas intersection

Occupation GOVERNOR and donor state AR produce $32,500, 1 contributions, and 1 donors. The occupation hub is $51,122,600, 453 contributions, and 83 donors. Arkansas’s dollar share is about 0.1%; contribution share about 0.2% (1 of 453); donor share about 1.2% (1 of 83). One Arkansas donor is about 1.2% of 83 national donors; 1 contribution is about 0.2% of 453 national rows; dollars are about 0.06% of $51,122,600.

FORMER GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR RETIRED, and LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Governor total. Do not stack GOVERNOR with FORMER GOVERNOR or LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR into a single Arkansas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

1 Arkansas donors produced 1 contributions, about 1.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 5.5 rows per donor nationally (453 contributions from 83 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Arkansas cell is about $32,500, against about $112,853 nationwide. Arkansas’s single $32,500 row is a one-gift cell inside a high-dollar, low-row occupation (453 contributions, $51,122,600).

GOVERNOR as an office-title string

GOVERNOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a current term, a party, or an Arkansas office. One word on the form is the filter. The $51,122,600 national total is GOVERNOR only. 83 donors produced 453 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 453 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Arkansas (AR). Eighty-three national donors make this a thin occupation with a high mean gift. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state AR.

Arkansas as donor state

1 Arkansas donors produced 1 contributions totaling $32,500. Donor state AR is the address on the record, not proof of a Arkansas license, and not a limit to Arkansas candidates. AR is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Arkansas governorship, and not a map of which campaigns received the $32,500.

The Arkansas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to AR. This join is only GOVERNOR. The Governor occupation hub without Arkansas still holds about 99.9% of the $51,122,600. Arkansas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to AR. GOVERNOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not name the donor, list Arkansas governors, or claim that Governor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. GOVERNOR is not FORMER GOVERNOR even when filers meant a past office. One unique donor is not a person-level biography.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GOVERNOR is not an Arkansas governors list. Donor state AR is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Office held and cycle are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Governor filter

Subtract the Arkansas dollars on this page from the national GOVERNOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded GOVERNOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($51,090,100) 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 1 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 1 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $32,500 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Arkansas dollars, or only the GOVERNOR national total, drops a key. One donor producing 1 contribution totaling $32,500 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
