Interior Designer political contributions from Illinois

INTERIOR DESIGNER joined to Illinois donor state

Occupation INTERIOR DESIGNER and donor state IL produce $1,182,344, 1,779 contributions, and 85 donors. The occupation hub is $11,008,458, 42,580 contributions, and 1,947 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 10.7% ($1,182,344 of $11,008,458). Its contribution share is about 4.2% (1,779 of 42,580). Its donor share is about 4.4% (85 of 1,947).

Dollar share is more than double donor share. Eighty-five people produced about a tenth of occupation dollars while making up about one twenty-third of occupation donors. Contribution share tracks donor share; the extra dollar share comes from larger average gifts in the Illinois cell.

DESIGNER, ARCHITECT, and CREATIVE DIRECTOR are other keys. They are not inside $11,008,458 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping. Creative Director donors in Illinois is a neighboring join with its own $1,150,795.

A professional title without a license check

INTERIOR DESIGNER is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not match it to a state interior-design registration or to a trade-association roster. One thousand nine hundred forty-seven national donors used the string. People who typed DESIGNER only sit in another occupation total if that string is a separate slug.

Forty-two thousand five hundred eighty contributions from 1,947 donors nationwide is about 22 itemized gifts per donor. Illinois’s 1,779 contributions from 85 donors is about 21 gifts per donor. Receipt frequency matches the national occupation pace; gift size does not.

Illinois cell averages

Dividing $1,182,344 by 1,779 contributions yields about $665 per gift. Dividing by 85 donors yields about $13,910 per donor. Nationally, $11,008,458 divided by 42,580 contributions is about $259 per gift. The Illinois mean is more than double the national occupation mean.

Donor state IL is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Illinois committees. Pharmacist, Producer, and Unemployed ties in Illinois use different occupation strings and are not subsets of INTERIOR DESIGNER.

Eighty-five Illinois donors produced 1,779 contributions, about 21 itemized gifts per person, matching the national 22. Frequency is not the Illinois story. Amount is: about $665 per gift versus about $259 nationally. That mean-gift gap produces a 10.7% dollar share from a 4.4% donor share.

What 10.7% of Interior Designer dollars is not

Illinois’s share is a table split. It is not evidence that Illinois caused interior-design giving, that designers as a class funded a party, or that campaign receipts track construction or housing activity. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR donors in Illinois ($1,150,795, 35 donors) share a donor state and a different title. DESIGNER as a one-word slug, if it exists, is another key. $1,182,344 is INTERIOR DESIGNER × IL only. Adding design titles would be a recode after export.

Occupation hub, state hub, neighboring Illinois titles

Interior Designer donations carries the $11,008,458 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance carries all IL-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep INTERIOR DESIGNER and CREATIVE DIRECTOR as separate Illinois joins so their dollar figures are not added together as a design sector.

The occupation hub still holds $9,826,114 outside Illinois ($11,008,458 minus $1,182,344). Use Interior Designer donations for that remainder, Illinois campaign finance for other IL titles, and this page only for the overlap.

Design titles that stay in separate Illinois files

Illinois’s Interior Designer cell (85 donors, $1,182,344) and Creative Director cell (35 donors, $1,150,795) can look like a design sector if added. They are not added here. The occupation strings differ. A filer who used both titles across receipts would be counted in each join for the matching rows only.

The remaining $9,826,114 of Interior Designer-coded dollars sits outside Illinois. Open the occupation hub for that remainder instead of inflating the Illinois overlap.
