Instructor and Minnesota as a classroom-word join

Occupation INSTRUCTOR and donor state MN produce $140,556, 1,326 contributions, and 28 donors. The occupation hub is $5,514,850, 46,555 contributions, and 1,277 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.5%, 2.8%, 2.2%). Minnesota tracks the national Instructor mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Minnesota Instructor dollar, contribution, and donor shares sit close together on a one-word classroom stamp.

Instructor is a one-word classroom stamp as typed, not a Teacher or Professor recode. Nearby strings — TEACHER, PROFESSOR, ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR, and EDUCATOR — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $140,556 or $5,514,850. Teacher and Professor remain other occupation hubs. A Minnesota address is not proof of a Minnesota classroom.

Twenty-eight Minnesota donors produced 1,326 contributions, about 47.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 36.5 rows per donor nationally (46,555 contributions from 1,277 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Minnesota cell are about $5,020, versus about $4,319 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

INSTRUCTOR versus Teacher and Professor

INSTRUCTOR is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a teaching license, a faculty appointment, or a Minnesota workplace. The national grouping is 1,277 donors, 46,555 contributions, and $5,514,850.

46,555 contributions from 1,277 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Minnesota’s 1,326 contributions from 28 donors is the MN-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 Minnesota.

Twenty-eight Minnesota donors on the state key

Twenty-eight Minnesota donors produced 1,326 contributions totaling $140,556. Donor state MN is the address on the record, not proof of a Minnesota professional license, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only INSTRUCTOR. Subtract $140,556 from $5,514,850 and $5,374,294 remains coded Instructor in every other state combined (45,229 contributions, 1,249 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Three shares that track on a classroom stamp

This page does not measure instructor output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Instructor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Minnesota teaching-license extract, not a campus payroll, and not a K-12 headcount.

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 MN is not recipient geography.

Education strings that stay 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 $140,556, 1,326 contributions, and 28 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Minnesota dollars, or only the Instructor national total, drops a key.

Instructor donations holds the $5,514,850 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. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR, 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. Teacher and Professor remain other occupation hubs. A Minnesota address is not proof of a Minnesota classroom.
