Librarian political contributions from Georgia

Librarian and Georgia as paired FEC filters

The join keeps occupation LIBRARIAN and donor state GA. The match is $386,719, 1,767 contributions, and 32 donors. The occupation nationwide is $8,907,436, 96,223 contributions, and 1,794 donors. Georgia holds about 4.3% of Librarian-coded dollars, about 1.8% of Librarian-coded contribution rows, and about 1.8% of Librarian-coded donors.

Those three shares do not sit together. The dollar share is more than twice the row share and the donor share. Thirty-two Georgia donors produced 1,767 itemized lines, about 55 contributions per donor in this join, versus about 54 contributions per donor nationally (96,223 lines from 1,794 donors). Line frequency matches the national Librarian mix; the dollars do not. Georgia’s $386,719 is a heavier-dollar slice of a high-row occupation label, not a proportional 4% sample of every Librarian-coded gift.

LIBRARIAN versus nearby library titles

Filers who wrote LIBRARIAN sit here. Filers who wrote LIBRARY ASSISTANT, LIBRARY DIRECTOR, MEDIA SPECIALIST, or ARCHIVIST sit in other occupation buckets with other national totals. This join does not merge library-adjacent strings. Combining them would invent a super-total no filer entered as one field.

Nationally, 1,794 donors produced 96,223 contributions totaling $8,907,436. That is a high-volume occupation label: many small itemized rows, not a handful of large gifts. Georgia’s 1,767 of 96,223 lines are about 1.8% of that Librarian line volume. The state’s 32 of 1,794 donors are the same 1.8% share. Only the $386,719 of $8,907,436 (about 4.3%) runs ahead of those counts.

Thirty-two Georgia donors, 1,767 lines

Thirty-two Georgia donors produced 1,767 contributions totaling $386,719. Other Georgia occupations in the ties index are separate files with separate strings. Librarian receipts from other states fill the remainder of $8,907,436. About 95.7% of Librarian-coded dollars remain outside this page.

GA is the contributor state on the itemized record. It does not prove a particular library system, a county board, a university, or a Georgia federal recipient. Employer is not aggregated here. A donor who listed Librarian and a Georgia address can still write a check to a committee that files in another state.

Why the dollar share outruns the donor share

About 4.3% of dollars against about 1.8% of donors means the average Georgia Librarian-coded total per donor is higher than the national Librarian average. $386,719 across 32 donors is about $12,085 per donor in this join. $8,907,436 across 1,794 donors is about $4,965 per donor nationwide. Per contribution, Georgia’s $386,719 across 1,767 lines is about $219, versus about $93 nationally ($8,907,436 across 96,223 lines).

Those averages describe the join. They do not identify a handful of named givers, a union PAC, or a party. FEC occupation is a free-text field. A filer who wrote Librarian on a $2,900 line and a filer who wrote Librarian on a $25 line both sit in the same bucket. The Georgia slice simply has a higher mean inside that bucket. Correlation between state and occupation is not a cause of the dollar mix.

What the occupation-state match is not

This page does not rank Georgia as a hub of library giving, and it does not merge Librarian with Library Assistant or Library Director. Two columns matched. The $386,719 is Librarian plus Georgia only. Unitemized gifts below the FEC itemization threshold and independent expenditures are omitted.

Recipient office, party, and cycle are not in these packet facts, so none are quoted. A GA donor-state code is not a map of Georgia races. See Librarian donations for the unjoined occupation hub, Georgia campaign finance for the state hub, all occupations for other job strings, and all FEC ties for other joins built the same way.

Is Librarian the same as Library Assistant in FEC data?

No. LIBRARIAN and LIBRARY ASSISTANT are separate occupation strings. This join is Librarian plus Georgia: $386,719 from 32 donors and 1,767 contributions. Combining labels would invent a total filers did not enter as one field.
