Musician political contributions from Tennessee

Musician-coded contributions from Tennessee addresses

Occupation MUSICIAN and donor state TN produce $368,509, 2,328 contributions, and 74 donors. The occupation hub is $15,245,521, 98,255 contributions, and 2,076 donors. Tennessee’s dollar share is about 2.4%; contribution share about 2.4% (2,328 of 98,255); donor share about 3.6% (74 of 2,076). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Musician hub and not a restatement of all Tennessee occupations.

SINGER, ARTIST, and COMPOSER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack MUSICIAN with those strings into a single Tennessee professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

74 Tennessee donors produced 2,328 contributions, about 31.5 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 47.3 rows per donor nationally (98,255 contributions from 2,076 donors). Line volume in Tennessee is the distinctive feature of this cell: 2.4% of national MUSICIAN contributions against a 2.4% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Tennessee cell is about $158, against about $155 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

MUSICIAN versus SINGER and ARTIST

MUSICIAN is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $15,245,521 national total is MUSICIAN only. 2,076 donors produced 98,255 contributions in that occupation bucket. MUSICIAN is a performing-arts self-description as typed, not a union or PRO roster. Nearby labels SINGER, ARTIST, and COMPOSER remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 98,255 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Tennessee (TN). 98,255 national contributions make MUSICIAN a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Tennessee overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

Tennessee as the state on the itemized record

74 Tennessee donors produced 2,328 contributions totaling $368,509. Donor state TN is the address on the record, not proof of a Tennessee license, and not a limit to Tennessee candidates. TN is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $368,509. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from TN-coded donors.

The Tennessee campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TN. This join is only MUSICIAN. The Musician occupation hub without Tennessee still holds about 97.6% of the $15,245,521 (remainder $14,877,012). Tennessee’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TN. MUSICIAN is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Union and PRO rosters are not in the join

A 2.4% dollar share in Tennessee does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 74 unique donors as an AFM or BMI extract. MUSICIAN is not interchangeable with SINGER, ARTIST, and COMPOSER.

Quote $368,509, 2,328 contributions, and 74 donors for Musician in Tennessee, against $15,245,521 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Musician and Tennessee—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Tennessee Musician dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Musician and Tennessee (TN), then $368,509, 2,328 contributions, 74 donors, and 2.4% of $15,245,521, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Tennessee: $14,877,012. Mean gift $158 is $368,509 divided by 2,328 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the Tennessee dollars on this page from the national MUSICIAN occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded MUSICIAN in every other state combined. That remainder ($14,877,012) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 74 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Performing-arts occupation pages and Tennessee finance

Musician donations holds the $15,245,521 national occupation total. Tennessee 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Music labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string MUSICIAN and state is TN. 74 donors are not an AFM or BMI extract. SINGER, ARTIST, and COMPOSER, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Musician. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Not as a published split. Donor state is Tennessee. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $368,509 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Tennessee campaign finance for every occupation coded to TN; open Musician donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
