Lobbyist political contributions from Arizona

Lobbyist as occupation, Arizona as the state

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation LOBBYIST and donor state AZ. Matching rows sum to $208,707, 471 contributions, and 28 donors. LOBBYIST is the occupation string on the contribution. LDA registration and state lobbyist licenses are other systems. Consultant is a different occupation key. The occupation hub is $15,512,853 across 29,384 contributions and 2,173 donors. The Arizona state hub mixes every other occupation that used that state code. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet. Arizona’s Lobbyist cell is 28 donor keys; LDA registration is a different disclosure system and is not this FEC occupation string.

Arizona’s dollar share is 1.3% ($208,707 of $15,512,853). Contribution share is 1.6% (471 of 29,384). Donor share is 1.3% (28 of 2,173). The remainder, $15,304,146, sits in other states on the occupation hub. Correlation between a job title and a mailing-state code is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $208,707.

The Lobbyist string across every state on file

$15,512,853 is the occupation-side denominator from 29,384 contributions and 2,173 donors. It is not limited to Arizona. Government Affairs, Consultant, and Public Affairs are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $15,512,853 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state under LOBBYIST, not only Arizona. This file stays on the overlap. $15,304,146 remains on the hub as the complement of $208,707. LOBBYIST is the occupation string on the contribution. LDA registration and state lobbyist licenses are other systems. Consultant is a different occupation key. Do not fold those sibling strings into $15,512,853 and then cite the sum as this join.

28 Arizona donors and the gift math

Dividing $208,707 by 471 contributions yields about $443 per gift. Dividing by 28 donors yields about $7,454 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 16.8 (471 ÷ 28). Nationally, 29,384 contributions from 2,173 donors average about $528 per gift and 13.5 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string in Arizona, not payroll.

28 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × state aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in Arizona. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 28 figure. The Arizona hub still holds every other occupation’s AZ receipts beside this cell.

What 1.3% of Lobbyist-coded dollars is not

A 1.3% share of Lobbyist-coded dollars from Arizona does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and donor state are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that Arizona donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $208,707 as itemized individual receipts tagged LOBBYIST and AZ, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Lobbyist × Arizona

A complete claim names Lobbyist and Arizona, then $208,707, 471 contributions, 28 donors, and 1.3% of $15,512,853, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 28 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Lobbyist and Arizona—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $443 and mean per donor $7,454 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Lobbyist donations rolls every state into one LOBBYIST running total. Arizona campaign finance rolls every occupation into one AZ total. Only the Lobbyist × Arizona overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 471 receipts and $208,707. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-state cells.

Occupation hub, Arizona hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $15,304,146 outside Arizona. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the state, not either hub restated. Government Affairs, Consultant, and Public Affairs are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of LOBBYIST on this page. Gifts per donor in Arizona average about 16.8. That ratio is 471 divided by 28, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation LOBBYIST, donor state Arizona (AZ), $208,707 in itemized individual contributions, 471 receipts, and 28 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $443 per line and $7,454 per donor in the cell. If the live Lobbyist donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 471 as unique workers in the trade.

Questions

How much have Lobbyist donors in Arizona given?

The join records $208,707 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Lobbyist and donor state Arizona, from 471 contributions and 28 donors. The occupation’s national total is $15,512,853, so Arizona is 1.3% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every lobbyist who donated from Arizona?

No. The 28 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to LOBBYIST and state AZ. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $208,707 on 471 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Lobbyist occupation money is from Arizona?

1.3%: $208,707 of $15,512,853. The remaining $15,304,146 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $208,707 divided by $15,512,853, not a ranking of civic engagement. Other states’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder. Donor share is 1.3%.

Does this money go to Arizona candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Arizona (AZ). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $208,707 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Arizona campaign finance for every occupation coded to AZ. Source: FEC.gov.
