Investment Advisor political contributions from Maryland

Two keys: INVESTMENT ADVISOR and MD

The packet’s keys are literal: occupation string INVESTMENT ADVISOR, donor state MD. Their product on FEC.gov individual-contribution aggregates is $508,316, from 2,072 contributions and 30 donors. No recipient list, party split, or PAC total is published here.

Treat the label as a self-reported occupation. Free-text fields let filers write a longer title, a nearby spelling, or an employer instead. Those rows are counted elsewhere. This page does not merge those buckets. Neighbors include financial advisor, investment adviser, wealth advisor, and registered investment advisor.

$508,316 is smaller than $17,194,878 because other states exist, and it is not a share of all Maryland giving because this packet has no state-wide occupation-blind denominator. The join is the point. Maryland INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling. Financial advisor is a neighboring string with its own Ohio join and is not merged here.

Investment Advisor as typed, not a census

After this Maryland cell of $508,316, $16,686,562 of the Investment Advisor grouping remains in other states. That remainder is 97.0% of $17,194,878. The Maryland page is not empty of other occupations; this file simply does not add them.

Percentages here use packet facts only. No statewide all-occupation total is supplied, so no share of Maryland politics is claimed. 3.0% is Investment Advisor-internal. RIA versus broker-dealer versus family-office advisory work is unpublished.

Means on $508,316

30 donors and 2,072 contributions are compatible because one identity can give more than once. The implied 69.1 gifts per donor is a mean. High-repeat filers would pull that mean up; one-time filers would pull it down. The packet does not split those groups.

$16,944 per donor and $245 per line are derived from $508,316. They are not contribution limits and not typical gift size if the distribution is skewed. RIA versus broker-dealer versus family-office advisory work remains unpublished.

Dropping the Investment Advisor filter

Dropping the Investment Advisor filter returns the reader to the Maryland campaign-finance index. That index is not $508,316. Adding the filter back recovers this cell: 2,072 contributions, 30 donors, $508,316.

No statewide all-occupation denominator is in the packet, so Investment Advisor cannot be ranked as a percent of Maryland itemized giving. 3.0% remains a share of $17,194,878 only.

Keeping $508,316 attached to both keys

Keep both nouns in every citation: Investment Advisor and Maryland. Dropping the state turns $508,316 into $17,194,878. Dropping the occupation turns this cell into the state hub, which this packet does not quantify as an all-occupation total.

Internal paths: /occupations/investment-advisor/ for the occupation running total, /states/MD/ for the state without this title, /occupations/ for neighboring strings, /ties/ for other joins. Maryland INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling. Financial advisor is a neighboring string with its own Ohio join and is not merged here.

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 INVESTMENT ADVISOR ∩ state MD = $508,316, 2,072 receipts, 30 donors, 3.0% of $17,194,878. Neighbors remain financial advisor, investment adviser, wealth advisor, and registered investment advisor. Source remains FEC.gov.
