Managing Partner political contributions from California

Managing Partner and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation MANAGING PARTNER and donor state CA produce $3,077,559, 3,075 contributions, and 333 donors. The occupation hub is $21,284,180, 32,621 contributions, and 2,645 donors. California’s dollar share is about 14.5%; contribution share about 9.4% (3,075 of 32,621); donor share about 12.6% (333 of 2,645). Three hundred thirty-three California donors are about 12.6% of 2,645 national donors; 3,075 contributions are about 9.4% of 32,621 national rows; dollars are about 14.5% of $21,284,180.

PARTNER, GENERAL PARTNER, and MANAGING DIRECTOR, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Managing Partner total. Do not stack MANAGING PARTNER with PARTNER or GENERAL PARTNER into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

333 California donors produced 3,075 contributions, about 9.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.3 rows per donor nationally (32,621 contributions from 2,645 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $1,001, against about $652 nationwide. California’s about 14.5% dollar share runs ahead of its about 9.4% contribution share — a higher-mean slice of the national MANAGING PARTNER bucket.

MANAGING PARTNER as a firm-title string

MANAGING PARTNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a partnership agreement, a firm, or a California bar. Two words on the form are the filter. The $21,284,180 national total is MANAGING PARTNER only. 2,645 donors produced 32,621 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 32,621 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Two thousand six hundred forty-five national donors make this a many-person occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

333 California donors produced 3,075 contributions totaling $3,077,559. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California partnership, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,077,559.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only MANAGING PARTNER. The Managing Partner occupation hub without California still holds about 85.5% of the $21,284,180. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. MANAGING PARTNER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count law-firm partners, merge PARTNER dollars, or claim that Managing Partner-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. MANAGING PARTNER is not PARTNER and not GENERAL PARTNER even when filers meant a firm role. Portfolio Manager in California is a different occupation-state pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. MANAGING PARTNER is not a partnership census. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Managing Partner filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national MANAGING PARTNER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded MANAGING PARTNER in every other state combined. That remainder ($18,206,621) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 333 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,075 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,077,559 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the MANAGING PARTNER national total, drops a key. Three hundred thirty-three donors producing 3,075 contributions totaling $3,077,559 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
