Lawyer political contributions from New Jersey

Lawyer and New Jersey as a high-volume legal join

Occupation LAWYER and donor state NJ produce $2,723,462, 11,444 contributions, and 605 donors. The occupation hub is $105,321,940, 362,611 contributions, and 19,031 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.6%, 3.2%, 3.2%). New Jersey tracks the national Lawyer mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. New Jersey Lawyer donor share sits slightly above dollar share on a high-volume legal stamp.

Lawyer is a one-word legal stamp as typed, not an Attorney recode. Nearby strings — ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, COUNSEL, and ESQUIRE — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,723,462 or $105,321,940. Attorney remains a different occupation hub. Student donors in New Jersey is a different occupation join in this slice; do not add those two New Jersey cells.

Six hundred five New Jersey donors produced 11,444 contributions, about 18.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 19.1 rows per donor nationally (362,611 contributions from 19,031 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this New Jersey cell are about $4,502, versus about $5,534 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

LAWYER versus Attorney and Counsel

LAWYER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a New Jersey bar number, a named firm, or a courtroom role. The national grouping is 19,031 donors, 362,611 contributions, and $105,321,940.

362,611 contributions from 19,031 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New Jersey’s 11,444 contributions from 605 donors is the NJ-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New Jersey.

Six hundred five New Jersey donors on the legal key

Six hundred five New Jersey donors produced 11,444 contributions totaling $2,723,462. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey professional license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only LAWYER. Subtract $2,723,462 from $105,321,940 and $102,598,478 remains coded Lawyer in every other state combined (351,167 contributions, 18,426 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Donor share a bit above dollar share on a legal stamp

This page does not measure lawyer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Lawyer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a New Jersey bar-admission extract, not a named-firm roster, and not a court-appearance census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography.

Legal strings that stay unmerged

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $2,723,462, 11,444 contributions, and 605 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the Lawyer national total, drops a key.

Lawyer donations holds the $105,321,940 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. ATTORNEY, ATTORNEY AT LAW, COUNSEL, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Attorney remains a different occupation hub. Student donors in New Jersey is a different occupation join in this slice; do not add those two New Jersey cells.
