Investor political contributions from Virginia

How occupation Investor meets donor state Virginia

Occupation INVESTOR and donor state VA produce $2,776,973, 1,896 contributions, and 231 donors. The occupation hub is $135,613,491, 116,247 contributions, and 11,422 donors. Virginia’s dollar share is about 2.0%; contribution share about 1.6% (1,896 of 116,247); donor share about 2.0% (231 of 11,422). Two hundred thirty-one Virginia donors are about 2.0% of 11,422 national donors; 1,896 contributions are about 1.6% of 116,247 national rows; dollars are about 2.0% of $135,613,491.

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

231 Virginia donors produced 1,896 contributions, about 8.2 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 Virginia cell is about $1,465, against about $1,167 nationwide. Virginia’s about 2.0% share of $135,613,491 sits inside a high-dollar occupation (11,422 donors, $135,613,491 nationally).

INVESTOR as a one-word title string

INVESTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify assets, an SEC status, or a Virginia employer. 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 Virginia (VA). Eleven thousand four hundred twenty-two national donors make INVESTOR a many-person occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state VA.

Virginia as donor state

231 Virginia donors produced 1,896 contributions totaling $2,776,973. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. VA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Virginia fund, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,776,973.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. This join is only INVESTOR. The Investor occupation hub without Virginia still holds about 98.0% of the $135,613,491. Virginia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to VA. INVESTOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count accredited investors, 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 and not PRIVATE INVESTOR even when filers meant capital allocation. A unique-donor count of 231 is not a person-level wealth list.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INVESTOR is not an SEC accredited-investor census. Donor state VA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Asset figures are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Investor filter

Subtract the Virginia 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 ($132,836,518) 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 231 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 1,896 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,776,973 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Virginia dollars, or only the INVESTOR national total, drops a key. Two hundred thirty-one donors producing 1,896 contributions totaling $2,776,973 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Related tables

Investor donations holds the $135,613,491 national occupation total. Virginia 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. INVESTMENTS and PRIVATE INVESTOR are different occupation hubs if those strings exist.
