Investor political contributions from Connecticut

Investor and Connecticut as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation INVESTOR and donor state CT produce $3,965,563, 2,447 contributions, and 353 donors. The occupation hub is $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 2.9%; contribution share about 2.1% (2,447 of 116,247); donor share about 3.1% (353 of 11,422). Three hundred fifty-three Connecticut donors are about 3.1% of 11,422 national donors; 2,447 contributions are about 2.1% of 116,247 national rows; dollars are about 2.9% of $135,613,491.

INVESTMENTS, PRIVATE EQUITY, and VENTURE CAPITAL, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Investor total. Do not stack INVESTOR with INVESTMENTS or PRIVATE EQUITY into a single Connecticut professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

353 Connecticut donors produced 2,447 contributions, about 6.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.2 rows per donor nationally (116,247 contributions from 11,422 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $1,621, against about $1,167 nationwide. Connecticut’s about 2.9% share of $135,613,491 is a large-dollar professional cell, not a fund-GP census.

INVESTOR as a one-word title string

INVESTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a GP seat, a 13F filing, or an accredited-investor status. The $135,613,491 national total is INVESTOR only. 11,422 donors produced 116,247 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 116,247 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). Eleven thousand four hundred twenty-two national donors make INVESTOR a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CT.

Connecticut on the state side

353 Connecticut donors produced 2,447 contributions totaling $3,965,563. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Connecticut fund office, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,965,563.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only INVESTOR. The Investor occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 97.1% of the $135,613,491. Connecticut’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CT. INVESTOR is only this filter.

What the Investor join is not

This page does not merge Investments dollars, rank funds, or claim that Investor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. INVESTOR is not INVESTMENTS even when filers meant the same desk.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTOR is not a 13F extract. Donor state CT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Fund names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Investor filter

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national INVESTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded INVESTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($131,647,928) 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 353 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 2,447 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,965,563 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the INVESTOR national total, drops a key. Three hundred fifty-three donors producing 2,447 contributions totaling $3,965,563 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Investor donations holds the $135,613,491 national occupation total. Connecticut 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. The Connecticut Actress tie is a different occupation join on the same state code.
