Graduate Student political contributions from New York

New York filtered to Graduate Student

Apply the Graduate Student filter to donor state New York and the remaining money is $2,498,477. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 2,544 contributions and 72 donors. The occupation overlay lists the national rows; this file explains the relationship.

Graduate Student is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 72 unique donors matched the stored string with a NY address. Repeat gifts can raise 2,544 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The national Graduate Student total of $5,871,698 still includes other states. Citing $5,871,698 as if it were New York would overstate this cell. Citing the New York hub as if it were Graduate Student-only would overstate the state. GRADUATE STUDENT is a status-style occupation. Student without graduate is a neighboring key. Campus names are not in this packet.

42.6% of the Graduate Student roll

42.6% of stored Graduate Student money is tagged NY ($2,498,477). 57.4% is not ($3,373,221). Both percentages use $5,871,698 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the state-by-state index. This tie isolates New York so $5,871,698 is not mistaken for a one-state number. Student, PhD student, graduate, and doctoral student are omitted from both figures.

How 72 donors produced 2,544 gifts

Contribution count (2,544) and donor count (72) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $2,498,477 is their dollar sum. This is a small cell.

If a searcher wants names, this JSON file reports 72 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Donor state NY is an address field, not a workplace census.

FEC gifts are not federal awards

Itemized individual receipts are the universe. Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, and PAC disbursements sit outside $2,498,477. Federal awards in other databases are different datasets. Sharing an occupation string and a state does not turn these gifts into contracts or grants. The page is a filer-entered occupation, not a university enrollment census, an IPEDS student file, or a stipend payroll.

Correlation between an occupation string and a donor state is not causation. The records show a text match, an address code, 72 donors, and 2,544 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Using the Graduate Student and New York hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-state questions for GRADUATE STUDENT. The New York hub answers every-occupation questions for that address code. This tie answers the both-filters question: $2,498,477, 2,544 receipts, 72 donors, 42.6% of $5,871,698.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Graduate Student donations page if the overlay has refreshed. Quote this packet only as a snapshot of the harvested join.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation GRADUATE STUDENT ∩ state NY = $2,498,477, 2,544 receipts, 72 donors, 42.6% of $5,871,698. Neighbors remain student, PhD student, graduate, and doctoral student. Source remains FEC.gov.
