Lawyer political contributions from Illinois

Lawyer and Illinois as a mid-single-digit slice

Occupation LAWYER and donor state IL produce $5,645,321, 16,767 contributions, and 925 donors. The occupation hub is $105,321,940, 362,611 contributions, and 19,031 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is 5.4%; contribution share 4.6% (16,767 of 362,611); donor share 4.9% (925 of 19,031). A high contribution count relative to 925 donors describes repeat itemized rows, not 16,767 unique Illinois lawyers.

Do not stack LAWYER with ATTORNEY, COUNSEL, and LAW PROFESSOR into a single Illinois professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. 925 Illinois donors produced 16,767 contributions, about 18.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.1 rows per donor nationally. The arithmetic mean gift in this Illinois cell is about $337, against about $290 nationwide.

LAWYER as typed, not a bar census

LAWYER is a filer-entered string. ATTORNEY and COUNSEL, if used, sit in other hubs. LAW PROFESSOR is a different occupation string. 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 Illinois (IL).

925 Illinois donors produced 16,767 contributions totaling $5,645,321. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The leftover $99,676,619 is Lawyer-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Nine hundred twenty-five Illinois Lawyer donors

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only LAWYER. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of an Illinois law license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. The Lawyer occupation hub without Illinois still holds 94.6% of the $105,321,940.

Lawyer donations holds the $105,321,940 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.

Bar rosters, Attorney as a sibling, and awards

This page does not measure an Illinois bar census or a Chicago law-firm ranking. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. LAWYER is not an Illinois ARDC attorney roster. Donor state IL is not recipient geography. The join does not allocate the Illinois dollars by federal office or by Cook County versus downstate.

Subtract the Illinois dollars on this page from the national LAWYER occupation total and the difference is $99,676,619 still coded LAWYER in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 925 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.
