Interior Designer political contributions from California

Interior Designer and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation INTERIOR DESIGNER and donor state CA produce $2,040,941, 8,610 contributions, and 389 donors. The occupation hub is $11,008,458, 42,580 contributions, and 1,947 donors. California’s dollar share is about 18.5%; contribution share about 20.2% (8,610 of 42,580); donor share about 20.0% (389 of 1,947). Three hundred eighty-nine California donors are about 20.0% of 1,947 national donors; 8,610 contributions are about 20.2% of 42,580 national rows; dollars are about 18.5% of $11,008,458.

DESIGNER, ARCHITECT, and INTERIOR DECORATOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Interior Designer total. Do not stack INTERIOR DESIGNER with DESIGNER or ARCHITECT into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

389 California donors produced 8,610 contributions, about 22.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 21.9 rows per donor nationally (42,580 contributions from 1,947 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $237, against about $259 nationwide. California’s about 18.5% dollar share from 8,610 rows is a high-repeat slice of a 1,947-donor two-word occupation.

INTERIOR DESIGNER as a two-word craft title

INTERIOR DESIGNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a certification, a firm, or a project. The two-word title on the form is the filter. The $11,008,458 national total is INTERIOR DESIGNER only. 1,947 donors produced 42,580 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 42,580 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). One thousand nine hundred forty-seven national donors make INTERIOR DESIGNER a mid-size bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as the Interior Designer state stamp

389 California donors produced 8,610 contributions totaling $2,040,941. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,040,941.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only INTERIOR DESIGNER. The Interior Designer occupation hub without California still holds about 81.5% of the $11,008,458. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. INTERIOR DESIGNER is only this filter.

What the Interior Designer–California join is not

This page does not count certified designers, merge Architect dollars, or claim that Interior Designer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. INTERIOR DESIGNER is not DESIGNER even when filers meant a design job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INTERIOR DESIGNER is not a designer-certification extract. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Interior Designer filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national INTERIOR DESIGNER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded INTERIOR DESIGNER in every other state combined. That remainder ($8,967,517) 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 389 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 8,610 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,040,941 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the INTERIOR DESIGNER national total, drops a key. Three hundred eighty-nine donors producing 8,610 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,040,941 headline.

Interior Designer donations holds the $11,008,458 national occupation total. California 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. California Filmmaker and California Librarian cells in this slice are other occupation strings.
