Investment Advisor political contributions from New York

Investment Advisor is one axis; New York is the other

An occupation-state page is not a restatement of Investment Advisor and not a restatement of New York. It is the cell where they meet: $2,454,278, 3,125 contributions, 203 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state are the source note.

On the occupation side, Investment Advisor is the exact string INVESTMENT ADVISOR. On the state side, NY is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received $2,454,278. RIA versus broker-dealer versus family-office advisory work is unpublished.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $17,194,878 is the national Investment Advisor bucket. The New York hub is every grouping in that state. The join is $2,454,278. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling on the form. Financial advisor is a neighboring string with its own New York join and is not merged here.

New York is not the whole Investment Advisor story

Investment Advisor across all states is $17,194,878. Investment Advisor in New York is $2,454,278 — 14.3%. The gap is $14,740,600. Closing that gap would require other state joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the New York overlay still sees $2,454,278 for this string, not $17,194,878. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the state filter to recover $2,454,278.

What 203 unique donors are not

203 unique donors are not a census of Investment Advisor. They are the identities attached to 3,125 itemized rows that summed to $2,454,278. Mean gift $785; mean per donor $12,090; about 15.4 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That does not add extra occupations into $2,454,278; it can inflate donor counts relative to a strict employee roster that this table does not have.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from this packet: party split, employer list, recipient committees, median gift, and RIA versus broker-dealer versus family-office advisory work. Those omissions are why the page is a join brief rather than a full filing dump.

What remains is enough for a clean citation: Investment Advisor × New York = $2,454,278 on 3,125 receipts from 203 donors, 14.3% of $17,194,878. Source: FEC.gov. INVESTMENT ADVISOR uses the -or spelling on the form. Financial advisor is a neighboring string with its own New York join and is not merged here.

Two filters, one URL

Two filters produced this URL: occupation INVESTMENT ADVISOR and donor state NY. The product is $2,454,278. One filter is not enough. That is why Investment Advisor donations and New York campaign finance remain parent links rather than substitutes.

All FEC ties is the index if the next question is a different occupation-state pair. All occupations is the index if the next question is a neighboring title such as financial advisor, investment adviser, wealth advisor, and registered investment advisor.

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.
