Musician political contributions from New York

Musician and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation MUSICIAN and donor state NY produce $5,430,273, 17,846 contributions, and 381 donors. The occupation hub is $15,245,521, 98,255 contributions, and 2,076 donors. Dollar share (35.6%) and contribution share (18.2%) diverge by more than ten points. New York Musician-coded receipts are not a miniature of the national mix. New York Musician dollars run well ahead of the contribution share.

Musician is a performing-arts title as typed. Nearby strings — ARTIST, SINGER, COMPOSER, and ENTERTAINER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $5,430,273 or $15,245,521. Venue, label, and union fields are not in these six numbers.

Three hundred eighty-one New York donors produced 17,846 contributions, about 46.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 47.3 rows per donor nationally (98,255 contributions from 2,076 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this New York cell are about $14,253, versus about $7,344 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

Musician as a national occupation grouping

MUSICIAN is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify union cards, publishing credits, or a performance schedule. The national grouping is 2,076 donors, 98,255 contributions, and $15,245,521.

98,255 contributions from 2,076 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New York’s 17,846 contributions from 381 donors is the NY-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New York.

New York on the state side

Three hundred eighty-one New York donors produced 17,846 contributions totaling $5,430,273. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York professional license, and not a limit to New York candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only MUSICIAN. Subtract $5,430,273 from $15,245,521 and $9,815,248 remains coded Musician in every other state combined (80,409 contributions, 1,695 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Musician–New York join is not

This page does not measure musician output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Musician-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Local 802 roster, not a Billboard ranking, and not a recording-academy membership file.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state NY is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one Musician filter

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $5,430,273, 17,846 contributions, and 381 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the Musician national total, drops a key.

Musician donations holds the $15,245,521 national occupation total. New York 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. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Venue, label, and union fields are not in these six numbers.
