Graphic Designer political contributions from Minnesota

Graphic Designer and Minnesota as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation GRAPHIC DESIGNER and donor state MN produce $319,164, 1,374 contributions, and 25 donors. The occupation hub is $5,360,774, 49,675 contributions, and 1,003 donors. Minnesota’s dollar share is about 6.0%; contribution share about 2.8% (1,374 of 49,675); donor share about 2.5% (25 of 1,003). Dollar share (about 6.0%) runs ahead of donor share (about 2.5%) and contribution share (about 2.8%). Twenty-five people produced a high-frequency cell totaling $319,164.

DESIGNER, ART DIRECTOR, and CREATIVE DIRECTOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this total. Do not stack GRAPHIC DESIGNER with DESIGNER or CREATIVE DIRECTOR into a single Minnesota professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

25 Minnesota donors produced 1,374 contributions, about 55.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 49.5 rows per donor nationally (49,675 contributions from 1,003 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Minnesota cell is about $232, against about $108 nationwide. Minnesota’s about 6.0% share of $5,360,774 is a high-repeat, few-donor slice of a 49,675-row occupation.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER as a trade label

GRAPHIC DESIGNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a portfolio, a studio, or freelance versus staff status. The $5,360,774 national total is GRAPHIC DESIGNER only. 1,003 donors produced 49,675 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 49,675 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Minnesota (MN). Forty-nine thousand six hundred seventy-five national contributions make this a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MN.

Minnesota on the state side

25 Minnesota donors produced 1,374 contributions totaling $319,164. Donor state MN is the address on the record, not proof of a Minnesota license, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates. MN is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Minnesota studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $319,164.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only GRAPHIC DESIGNER. The Graphic Designer occupation hub without Minnesota still holds about 94.0% of the $5,360,774. Minnesota’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MN. GRAPHIC DESIGNER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not rank studios, count freelancers, or claim that Graphic Designer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. GRAPHIC DESIGNER is not CREATIVE DIRECTOR even when the workplace used both titles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GRAPHIC DESIGNER is not an AIGA roster. Donor state MN is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Studio names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Graphic Designer filter

Subtract the Minnesota dollars on this page from the national GRAPHIC DESIGNER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded GRAPHIC DESIGNER in every other state combined. That remainder ($5,041,610) 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 25 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 1,374 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $319,164 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Minnesota dollars, or only the GRAPHIC DESIGNER national total, drops a key. Twenty-five donors producing 1,374 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $319,164 headline.

Related tables

Graphic Designer donations holds the $5,360,774 national occupation total. Minnesota 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. CREATIVE DIRECTOR is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
