Insurance political contributions from Texas

Insurance and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation INSURANCE and donor state TX produce $2,096,123, 6,175 contributions, and 315 donors. The occupation hub is $16,006,547, 46,849 contributions, and 3,409 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 13.1%; contribution share about 13.2% (6,175 of 46,849); donor share about 9.2% (315 of 3,409). Three hundred fifteen Texas donors are about 9.2% of 3,409 national donors; 6,175 contributions are about 13.2% of 46,849 national rows; dollars are about 13.1% of $16,006,547.

INSURANCE AGENT, INSURANCE BROKER, and AGENT, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Insurance total. Do not stack INSURANCE with INSURANCE AGENT or INSURANCE BROKER into a single Texas professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

315 Texas donors produced 6,175 contributions, about 19.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.7 rows per donor nationally (46,849 contributions from 3,409 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Texas cell is about $339, against about $342 nationwide. Texas’s about 13.1% dollar share from 6,175 rows is a high-repeat slice of a 46,849-row occupation, not an agency-appointment census.

INSURANCE as a one-word sector string

INSURANCE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a producer license, a carrier, or a line of business. The single word on the form is the filter. The $16,006,547 national total is INSURANCE only. 3,409 donors produced 46,849 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 46,849 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Texas (TX). Three thousand four hundred nine national donors make INSURANCE a mid-size bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state TX.

Texas as the Insurance donor-state stamp

315 Texas donors produced 6,175 contributions totaling $2,096,123. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. TX is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Texas agency, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,096,123.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only INSURANCE. The Insurance occupation hub without Texas still holds about 86.9% of the $16,006,547. Texas’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TX. INSURANCE is only this filter.

What the Insurance–Texas join is not

This page does not merge Insurance Agent dollars, count licensed producers, or claim that Insurance-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. INSURANCE is not INSURANCE AGENT even when filers meant a producer job. This slice also has a Texas Insurance Agent cell; those dollars stay there.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INSURANCE is not a Department of Insurance extract. Donor state TX is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Carrier names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Insurance filter

Subtract the Texas dollars on this page from the national INSURANCE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded INSURANCE in every other state combined. That remainder ($13,910,424) 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 315 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 6,175 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,096,123 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the INSURANCE national total, drops a key. Three hundred fifteen donors producing 6,175 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,096,123 headline.

Insurance donations holds the $16,006,547 national occupation total. Texas 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. Texas Insurance Agent is a separate occupation-state tie in this slice; do not add those dollars here.

Not necessarily. Donor state is Texas. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $2,096,123 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open the state hub for every occupation coded to TX; open the occupation hub for every state in the bucket.
