Insurance Agent political contributions from Michigan

Michigan filtered to Insurance Agent

Apply the Insurance Agent filter to donor state Michigan and the remaining money is $573,011. FEC.gov itemized that amount across 1,912 contributions and 165 donors. The occupation overlay lists the national rows; this file explains the relationship.

Insurance Agent is a filer-entered occupation. It is not NAICS. It is not a donor biography. 165 unique donors matched the stored string with a MI address. Repeat gifts can raise 1,912 contributions without raising the donor count at the same pace.

The national Insurance Agent total of $25,280,335 still includes other states. Citing $25,280,335 as if it were Michigan would overstate this cell. Citing the Michigan hub as if it were Insurance Agent-only would overstate the state. Michigan Insurance Agent is a third state cell beside North Carolina and Louisiana. INSURANCE without agent is a neighboring one-word occupation.

2.3% of the Insurance Agent roll

2.3% of stored Insurance Agent money is tagged MI ($573,011). 97.7% is not ($24,707,324). Both percentages use $25,280,335 as the base. Changing the string changes the base.

The occupation hub holds the state-by-state index. This tie isolates Michigan so $25,280,335 is not mistaken for a one-state number. Insurance, insurance broker, insurance producer, and agent are omitted from both figures.

How 165 donors produced 1,912 gifts

Contribution count (1,912) and donor count (165) measure different things. The first counts itemized receipts; the second counts distinct identities in this aggregate. $573,011 is their dollar sum. This is a small cell.

If a searcher wants names, this JSON file reports 165 donors without listing them. Inventing names would violate the packet contract. Donor state MI 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 $573,011. 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 Michigan insurance-license roster, an NAIC producer file, or a carrier payroll.

Correlation between an occupation string and a donor state is not causation. The records show a text match, an address code, 165 donors, and 1,912 contributions. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages.

Using the Insurance Agent and Michigan hubs without mixing them

The occupation hub answers every-state questions for INSURANCE AGENT. The Michigan hub answers every-occupation questions for that address code. This tie answers the both-filters question: $573,011, 1,912 receipts, 165 donors, 2.3% of $25,280,335.

Amended reports can move any of those integers. Quote the live Insurance Agent 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 INSURANCE AGENT ∩ state MI = $573,011, 1,912 receipts, 165 donors, 2.3% of $25,280,335. Neighbors remain insurance, insurance broker, insurance producer, and agent. Source remains FEC.gov.
