Lawyer political contributions from Georgia

Lawyer and Georgia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation LAWYER and donor state GA produce $2,238,824, 11,522 contributions, and 463 donors. The occupation hub is $105,321,940, 362,611 contributions, and 19,031 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 2.1%; contribution share about 3.2% (11,522 of 362,611); donor share about 2.4% (463 of 19,031). Four hundred sixty-three Georgia donors are about 2.4% of 19,031 national donors; 11,522 contributions are about 3.2% of 362,611 national rows; dollars are about 2.1% of $105,321,940.

ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, and LAWYER/ATTORNEY, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Lawyer total. Do not stack LAWYER with ATTORNEY or ATTORNEY AT LAW into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

463 Georgia donors produced 11,522 contributions, about 24.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.1 rows per donor nationally (362,611 contributions from 19,031 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $194, against about $290 nationwide. Georgia’s about 2.1% dollar share from 11,522 rows is a high-repeat professional slice of a 362,611-row occupation, not a handful of large checks.

LAWYER as a filer-entered legal title

LAWYER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a Georgia bar number, a firm partnership, or a practice area. The word on the form is the filter. The $105,321,940 national total is LAWYER only. 19,031 donors produced 362,611 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 362,611 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Nineteen thousand thirty-one national donors make LAWYER a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state GA.

Georgia as the Lawyer donor-state stamp

463 Georgia donors produced 11,522 contributions totaling $2,238,824. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Georgia law office, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,238,824.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only LAWYER. The Lawyer occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 97.9% of the $105,321,940. Georgia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to GA. LAWYER is only this filter.

What the Lawyer–Georgia join is not

This page does not count licensed attorneys, merge Attorney dollars, or claim that Lawyer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. LAWYER is not ATTORNEY even when filers meant the same courtroom job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. LAWYER is not a State Bar extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Lawyer filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national LAWYER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded LAWYER in every other state combined. That remainder ($103,083,116) 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 463 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 11,522 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,238,824 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the LAWYER national total, drops a key. Four hundred sixty-three donors producing 11,522 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,238,824 headline.

Related tables

Lawyer donations holds the $105,321,940 national occupation total. Georgia 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. Other states have Lawyer occupation-state ties; those cells are other pairs and must not be added here.
