Managing Member political contributions from Illinois

The Managing Member–Illinois intersection

FEC itemized individual receipts store occupation and donor state as separate fields. This tie is the set of rows tagged MANAGING MEMBER and IL at the same time. The match is $841,596, 172 contributions, and 25 donors. Without the state filter, the occupation is $5,321,801, 3,718 contributions, and 597 donors. Illinois holds about 16% of Managing Member-coded dollars, about 4.6% of the contribution rows, and about 4.2% of the donors.

The dollar share is larger than the people share. Twenty-five Illinois donors sit on about 16% of the national dollar total while accounting for only about 4% of the national donor count. That imbalance is why a join page is useful: a national occupation list would understate how concentrated the Illinois-coded dollars are, and an Illinois state list would not isolate this title from every other occupation string filed from the state.

Reading the Managing Member label without a state filter

MANAGING MEMBER is a business-entity title, not a standardized Census occupation. Filers type it. Variants such as MEMBER, MANAGING PARTNER, or LLC MEMBER, if they appear, are other buckets. The national totals—$5,321,801 from 597 donors and 3,718 contributions—are the labeled set, not a census of people who legally hold that role in an LLC.

Five hundred ninety-seven donors producing 3,718 contributions implies repeat itemized giving inside the national label. This page does not assign those repeats to cycles or to committees. It only asks how much of the labeled money is also coded Illinois.

Illinois on the contribution record

Twenty-five Illinois donors produced 172 contributions totaling $841,596. Relative to the national occupation, that is a thick dollar slice on a thin donor list. Other Illinois occupations are not in this join. Managing Member receipts coded to other states fill the space between $841,596 and $5,321,801.

The IL code is the donor-state field on the FEC row. It does not prove the donor lived in Illinois on Election Day, worked there, or gave to Illinois candidates. Recipient committees can be anywhere in the FEC system. This page does not geocode the $841,596 onto Illinois races.

Dollars versus rows in this pair

About 16% of Managing Member dollars and about 4.6% of Managing Member contribution rows land in Illinois. The Illinois side therefore carries more dollars per row than the national occupation taken as a whole, at least as those two aggregates compare. That is a statement about the join’s arithmetic, not about intent, industry power, or Illinois elections.

A different spelling of the title would move money out of this page. So would a donor-state code other than IL. The relationship is only as stable as the two strings filers entered.

Twenty-five donors carrying about 16 percent of the dollars

Illinois’s Managing Member join is $841,596 from 25 donors and 172 contributions. The occupation nationwide is $5,321,801 from 597 donors and 3,718 contributions. About 16% of dollars, about 4.2% of donors, and about 4.6% of rows: Illinois is dollar-heavy relative to headcount on this LLC-flavored title.

MEMBER without MANAGING is a different occupation string. This join does not merge them. The 25 Illinois donors are whoever typed MANAGING MEMBER and IL. The 172 rows are itemized individual lines, not operating agreements.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. Donor state IL is not a map of Illinois LLCs or Illinois races. See Managing Member donations, Illinois campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Caveats on the occupation-state join

This match does not say Illinois campaigns are funded by managing members, and it does not treat the title as a proxy for private-equity or real-estate activity. Two columns overlapped. Correlation is not causation.

Independent expenditures, unitemized contributions, and transfers among committees are outside these figures. For the unjoined views, use the Managing Member occupation page, Illinois campaign finance, the occupations index, and the FEC ties index.

Questions

How much have Managing Member donors in Illinois given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Managing Member and state Illinois total $841,596. That join includes 172 contributions and 25 donors. Nationwide, Managing Member-coded receipts are $5,321,801 from 597 donors and 3,718 contributions. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Why is Illinois’s dollar share higher than its donor share?

Illinois holds about 16% of Managing Member dollars ($841,596 of $5,321,801) but only 25 of 597 donors and 172 of 3,718 contributions. The join is dollar-heavy relative to headcount. The page does not name those 25 donors or split the 172 rows by committee.

Does Managing Member mean LLC owners in Illinois?

The field is the string MANAGING MEMBER as entered on itemized individual filings. It is not a verified list of Illinois LLC managing members. Nationally the same label covers 597 donors and $5,321,801. This tie only adds the Illinois state filter.

Is this money for Illinois federal candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Illinois on the record. Recipients can file from any state. This page does not allocate the $841,596 by office. Read the Illinois state hub and the Managing Member occupation hub for each side without the join.
