Insurance Agent political contributions from Iowa

INSURANCE AGENT crossed with Iowa

Occupation INSURANCE AGENT plus contributor state Iowa yields $3,605,761. That is about 14% of $25,280,335 nationally. Iowa’s 1,948 contributions are about 2% of 89,119. Its 103 donors are about 2% of 5,582. Dollar share far exceeds activity share: Iowa’s receipts under this label are larger, on average, than the occupation’s national mix, which is built from many smaller gifts elsewhere.

Average itemized gift in the Iowa join is about $1,851 ($3,605,761 / 1,948). Insurance, agent, and broker without the two-word phrase are not automatically included. This page is the exact INSURANCE AGENT string.

INSURANCE AGENT nationwide

Five thousand five hundred eighty-two donors used INSURANCE AGENT on itemized receipts totaling $25,280,335 across 89,119 gifts. Contribution count is high relative to dollars nationally, which is a small-repeat pattern. Iowa’s cell inverts that pattern: fewer receipts, larger typical amounts, still a double-digit share of occupation dollars.

The FEC does not match filers to state insurance licenses. The phrase looks like a job title; on the form it is free text. Most INSURANCE AGENT donors (5,582 minus 103) and receipts (89,119 minus 1,948) sit outside Iowa even while the state holds about 14% of the money column.

One hundred three Iowa donors

One hundred three unique Iowa donors produced 1,948 INSURANCE AGENT-tagged contributions totaling $3,605,761. Repeat itemization is present (1,948 gifts / 103 people) alongside a higher average check than the national occupation mix. The Iowa campaign-finance hub places this title beside other IA occupations so a licensed-sounding string is not treated as all Iowa financial giving.

Contributor state is the address on the receipt. An agent who sells in Iowa and files from another state is absent. An Iowa address with this occupation string is enough for the $3,605,761. The join does not locate agencies or book of business.

Iowa’s state hub will show whether $3,605,761 is large among IA occupations. The occupation hub will show that 14% of dollars from 2% of gifts is a concentration signature, not a typical-agent gift size. Recipients of the 1,948 receipts are a committee-level question. Occupation is not causation.

What the join does not measure

These figures are federal individual contributions, not insurer PAC activity and not Iowa state campaign filings. The table does not show that insurance regulation caused the gifts or that the money funded insurance committees. Recipient identity is outside the two-column filter.

Self-reported titles split people who sell coverage. Use the occupations index for agent and insurance variants, and the ties index for other occupation–state cells. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

A Midwestern concentration inside a sales title

Iowa INSURANCE AGENT at $3,605,761 from 103 donors and 1,948 gifts is about 14% of $25,280,335 nationally and about 2% of 89,119 contributions. Average gift about $1,851. Nationally the occupation is receipt-heavy (89,119 gifts from 5,582 donors). Iowa inverts that: fewer receipts, larger typical amounts, still a double-digit dollar share.

State insurance licenses are not matched. Agent, insurance, and broker without this two-word phrase are other pages. The 103 Iowa keys used INSURANCE AGENT. The other 5,479 of 5,582 national donors account for $25,280,335 minus $3,605,761.

One hundred three Iowa donors, 1,948 gifts, $3,605,761, about 14% of $25,280,335 and about 2% of 89,119 contributions. Average gift about $1,851. Nationally the occupation is receipt-heavy; Iowa is dollar-forward. Licenses are not matched. Agent or insurance without this two-word phrase are other pages. Cite 14% of dollars against 2% of gifts so the concentration is visible and not mistaken for a typical-agent amount.

Questions

How much did Iowa Insurance Agent donors give in FEC filings?

Donors listing occupation INSURANCE AGENT with an Iowa address reported $3,605,761 in itemized individual contributions, from 103 donors and 1,948 receipts. That is about 14% of the occupation’s national $25,280,335 but about 2% of its 89,119 contributions. The join is not a roster of Iowa-licensed agents.

Why is Iowa’s dollar share so much larger than its contribution share?

Iowa has $3,605,761 of $25,280,335 (about 14%) from 1,948 of 89,119 contributions and 103 of 5,582 donors. Average itemized gift in the join is about $1,851. Larger typical receipts lift dollar share far above activity share. The table does not explain why those donors gave.

Are these licensed insurance agents?

The FEC does not certify licenses. INSURANCE AGENT is a filer-entered string used by 5,582 donors nationally totaling $25,280,335. This Iowa page reports the subset with contributor state IA: 103 donors, 1,948 gifts, $3,605,761.

Did these contributions go to Iowa candidates?

The join filters donor state and occupation, not recipient. An Iowa-addressed INSURANCE AGENT can give to any FEC committee. Tracing the $3,605,761 from 103 donors and 1,948 receipts requires committee-level receipts. Those figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates with filer-entered occupation labels.
