Librarian political contributions from Connecticut

Librarian-coded contributions from Connecticut

Occupation LIBRARIAN and donor state CT produce $318,233, 3,795 contributions, and 50 donors. The occupation hub is $8,907,436, 96,223 contributions, and 1,794 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 3.9% (3,795 of 96,223); donor share about 2.8% (50 of 1,794). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Librarian hub and not a restatement of all Connecticut occupations.

LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack LIBRARIAN with those strings into a single Connecticut professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

50 Connecticut donors produced 3,795 contributions, about 75.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 53.6 rows per donor nationally (96,223 contributions from 1,794 donors). Line volume in Connecticut is the distinctive feature of this cell: 3.9% of national LIBRARIAN contributions against a 3.6% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $84, against about $93 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

LIBRARIAN versus LIBRARY and ARCHIVIST

LIBRARIAN is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $8,907,436 national total is LIBRARIAN only. 1,794 donors produced 96,223 contributions in that occupation bucket. LIBRARIAN is a library-profession title, not an ALA membership roll or public-library staffing table. Nearby labels LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 96,223 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). 96,223 national contributions make LIBRARIAN a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Connecticut overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Connecticut donor state on library-profession lines

50 Connecticut donors produced 3,795 contributions totaling $318,233. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $318,233. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from CT-coded donors.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only LIBRARIAN. The Librarian occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 96.4% of the $8,907,436 (remainder $8,589,203). Connecticut’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CT. LIBRARIAN is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

MLS degrees and branch assignments are not FEC fields

A 3.6% dollar share in Connecticut does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 50 unique donors as an ALA membership roll or public-library staffing table. LIBRARIAN is not interchangeable with LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST.

Quote $318,233, 3,795 contributions, and 50 donors for Librarian in Connecticut, against $8,907,436 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Librarian and Connecticut—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Connecticut Librarian dollars next to a high line count

A complete claim names Librarian and Connecticut (CT), then $318,233, 3,795 contributions, 50 donors, and 3.6% of $8,907,436, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Connecticut: $8,589,203. Mean gift $84 is $318,233 divided by 3,795 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national LIBRARIAN occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded LIBRARIAN in every other state combined. That remainder ($8,589,203) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 50 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Library occupation hub and Connecticut campaign finance

Librarian donations holds the $8,907,436 national occupation total. Connecticut 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.

Questions

How much have Librarian donors in Connecticut given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation LIBRARIAN and state Connecticut total $318,233, from 3,795 contributions and 50 donors. Nationwide, LIBRARIAN-coded receipts are $8,907,436 from 96,223 contributions and 1,794 donors. Connecticut is about 3.6% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count Connecticut public-library staff?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string LIBRARIAN and state is CT. 50 donors are not an ALA membership roll or public-library staffing table. LIBRARY, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, and ARCHIVIST, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Librarian. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Should LIBRARY-coded gifts be added?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Connecticut. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $318,233 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Connecticut campaign finance for every occupation coded to CT; open Librarian donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
