Investor political contributions from Texas

Investor and Texas as a two-field match

Occupation INVESTOR and state TX produce $14,914,580, 22,705 contributions, and 1,530 donors. The occupation nationwide is $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors. Texas’s dollar share is about 11%. Contribution share is about 20% (22,705 of 116,247). Donor share is about 13% (1,530 of 11,422).

Unlike the New York Investor join, where the dollar share (about 15%) exceeds the contribution share (about 11%), Texas shows the reverse: a larger slice of rows than of dollars. That means Texas Investor-coded itemization is busier relative to the dollars in this filter. It is not a finding about Texas markets.

Investor–Texas is the join where rows outrun dollars: 22,705 of 116,247 contributions (about 20%) carrying $14,914,580 of $135,613,491 (about 11%), from 1,530 of 11,422 donors (about 13%). Texas is busier in itemized lines than in dollars relative to the national Investor mix. That is 22,705 versus 116,247 and $14,914,580 versus $135,613,491. It is not an energy-sector extract; INVESTOR has no industry code here. Other states’ Investor pages are other filters on $135,613,491. This page does not print those other cells. Donor state TX is not recipient geography. The Investor hub holds the occupation total. The Texas hub holds every occupation in the state. Independent expenditures are excluded.

The national Investor occupation

INVESTOR is filer-entered. National totals are 11,422 donors, 116,247 contributions, and $135,613,491. Investor ties in other states are other filters against this same occupation total; they are not columns on this Texas page.

One hundred sixteen thousand contributions from 11,422 donors shows repeat itemization. Texas’s 22,705 contributions from 1,530 donors is the TX-coded volume, not a list of Texas funds or oil-and-gas investors specifically.

Texas donor-state receipts

The TX side is $14,914,580 from 22,705 contributions and 1,530 donors. Donor state is the address on the contribution. Recipients may be committees anywhere in the FEC system, not only Texas federal candidates.

Texas campaign finance overall includes Chairman, Real Estate, and Sales. This tie isolates Investor.

What an 11% dollar share does not show

Texas holding about 11% of Investor-coded dollars does not mean Texas caused national Investor giving, and it does not treat campaign receipts as USAspending awards. Occupation plus state is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Hubs for occupation, state, and sibling Investor ties

Investor donations holds the $135,613,491 national total. Texas campaign finance holds all TX-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties index other Investor-state joins as separate pages so those filters are not collapsed into one invented sum.

One thousand five hundred thirty Texas Investor-coded donors are 13% of 11,422. Their 22,705 contributions are 20% of 116,247. Their $14,914,580 is 11% of $135,613,491. Rows lead dollars in this TX filter, the reverse of some other Investor geographies.

Texas Investor: more of the occupation’s rows than of its dollars

Twenty-two thousand seven hundred five contributions are about 20% of the national 116,247, while $14,914,580 is about 11% of $135,613,491. Texas Investor-coded itemization is busier relative to the dollars than the national mix. That is 22,705 versus 116,247 and $14,914,580 versus $135,613,491, not a finding about Texas markets or energy employers.

INVESTOR is filer-entered and has no industry code on this page. Donor state TX is not recipient geography. Investor donations and Texas campaign finance are the parent hubs. All occupations and all FEC ties keep other Investor-state pages separate. Itemized individual contributions only. Independent expenditures excluded. This page is the occupation-and-state intersection, not an energy-sector census, and not a ranking of Texas against other Investor-state joins except as separate filters. Occupation INVESTOR and donor state TX are the join. The $14,914,580 from 22,705 contributions and 1,530 donors is the Texas cell inside $135,613,491, not an industry extract.

Questions

How much have Investor donors in Texas given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Investor and state Texas total $14,914,580, from 22,705 contributions and 1,530 donors. Nationwide, Investor-coded receipts are $135,613,491 from 116,247 contributions and 11,422 donors. Texas is about 11% of those dollars.

Why does Texas have a higher share of contributions than of dollars?

Texas holds about 20% of Investor-coded contributions (22,705 of 116,247) and about 11% of dollars ($14,914,580 of $135,613,491), with about 13% of donors (1,530 of 11,422). More of the occupation’s itemized rows than of its dollars are TX-coded in these aggregates. That is a description of the join, not a typical-gift figure.

Are these energy investors?

The occupation string is INVESTOR. FEC aggregates on this page do not encode industry. The 1,530 Texas donors used that label. Employer/industry pages are a different dimension. The Texas join is $14,914,580 from 22,705 contributions and 1,530 donors.

Can I add Texas, California, and New York Investor totals?

Each state is a separate filter against the same $135,613,491 occupation total. This page reports Texas only ($14,914,580). Other states’ Investor ties live on their own URLs. The Texas join is $14,914,580 from 22,705 contributions and 1,530 donors.
