Governor political contributions from Tennessee

Governor and Tennessee as a sparse FEC intersection

Occupation GOVERNOR and donor state TN together sum to $87,285, 18 contributions, and 6 donors. The occupation hub is $51,122,600, 453 contributions, and 83 donors. Tennessee’s share of dollars is 0.2%; of contributions, 4.0% (18 of 453); of donors, 7.2% (6 of 83).

Six Tennessee donors produced 18 contributions totaling $87,285. That is 0.2% of the $51,122,600 Governor occupation total. The leftover $51,035,315 is Governor-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Six Tennessee donors and eighteen itemized rows produced $87,285. Nationally 83 donors and 453 contributions produced $51,122,600. Tennessee’s 0.2% dollar share and 4.0% row share are both small. The remainder, $51,035,315, is Governor-coded money from every other state combined. Do not treat a small cell as a missing file.

GOVERNOR as an occupation label, not an incumbency flag

GOVERNOR is a short office word on a contribution form. Former governors, acting governors, and people using a courtesy title can land in the same bucket. FORMER GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR RETIRED, and LT GOVERNOR, if typed, sit in other occupation hubs and are not inside $51,122,600.

The national Governor table is dollar-heavy relative to its donor count: $51,122,600 from 83 donors and 453 contributions. Tennessee’s 18 contributions from 6 donors are a thin slice of that book, not a statewide executive census.

Six Tennessee donors on the contribution record

Six Tennessee donors produced 18 contributions totaling $87,285. Donor state TN is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a Tennessee workplace, and not a limit to Tennessee candidates.

The Tennessee campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TN. This join is only GOVERNOR. FORMER GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR RETIRED, and LT GOVERNOR are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the TN state code.

Governor donations without Tennessee still holds the remainder of the $51,122,600 occupation total. A Tennessee directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Eighteen rows against a $51 million occupation book

This page does not measure a National Governors Association membership list or a Tennessee gubernatorial ballot, and it does not claim that Governor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

GOVERNOR fragments against FORMER GOVERNOR, GOVERNOR RETIRED, and LT GOVERNOR. Those strings, if used, never enter the $51,122,600 or the $87,285. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Tennessee dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Executive-office strings that stay separate

Subtract the Tennessee dollars on this page from the national Governor occupation total and the difference is $51,035,315 still coded Governor in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Governor donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Tennessee campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

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 all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Tennessee dollars, or only the Governor national total, drops a key.

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.

Where the Governor–Tennessee pair sits

Governor donations holds the $51,122,600 national occupation total and the 83-donor count. Tennessee campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to TN. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Does this count sitting Tennessee governors only?

No. Occupation is the string GOVERNOR and donor state is TN. The FEC aggregate does not verify incumbency, term, or party. Six Tennessee donors and 18 contributions produced $87,285. Filers who wrote FORMER GOVERNOR may sit elsewhere. FEC.gov occupation labels are filer-entered.

What share of Governor FEC money is from Tennessee?

Tennessee holds 0.2% of the $51,122,600 occupation total ($87,285). Tennessee also accounts for 4.0% of contributions (18 of 453) and 7.2% of donors (6 of 83). GOVERNOR is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for Tennessee races only?

No. Donor state is Tennessee. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $87,285 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 18 contributions and 6 donors are the GOVERNOR-and-TN overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
