Investor political contributions from Illinois

Investor and Illinois as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation INVESTOR and donor state IL produce $2,868,440, 2,494 contributions, and 357 donors. The occupation hub is $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 2.1%; contribution share about 2.1% (2,494 of 116,247); donor share about 3.1% (357 of 11,422). Three hundred fifty-seven Illinois donors are about 3.1% of 11,422 national donors; 2,494 contributions are about 2.1% of 116,247 national rows; dollars are about 2.1% of $135,613,491.

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

357 Illinois donors produced 2,494 contributions, about 7.0 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 Illinois cell is about $1,150, against about $1,167 nationwide. Illinois’s about 2.1% share of a $135,613,491 occupation is a modest dollar slice of a high-mean national bucket (about $1,167 per national row).

INVESTOR as a capital-title string

INVESTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Series license, a fund, or an AUM figure. One word on the form is the filter. 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 Illinois (IL). Eleven thousand four hundred twenty-two national donors make INVESTOR a large occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IL.

Illinois as the donor-state filter

357 Illinois donors produced 2,494 contributions totaling $2,868,440. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. IL is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Illinois fund, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,868,440.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only INVESTOR. The Investor occupation hub without Illinois still holds about 97.9% of the $135,613,491. Illinois’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IL. INVESTOR is only this filter.

What the Investor–Illinois join is not

This page does not measure assets under management, merge investments dollars, 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 a capital occupation.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTOR is not a securities-license extract. Donor state IL 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 Illinois 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 ($132,745,051) 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 357 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 2,494 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,868,440 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the INVESTOR national total, drops a key. Three hundred fifty-seven donors producing 2,494 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,868,440 headline.

Investor donations holds the $135,613,491 national occupation total. Illinois 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. Massachusetts has a separate Investor occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
