Photographer political contributions from Connecticut

Photographer occupation meeting Connecticut addresses

Occupation PHOTOGRAPHER and donor state CT produce $432,799, 984 contributions, and 31 donors. The occupation hub is $14,417,201, 64,876 contributions, and 1,809 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 1.5% (984 of 64,876); donor share about 1.7% (31 of 1,809). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Photographer hub and not a restatement of all Connecticut occupations.

PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTIST, and PHOTOJOURNALIST, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack PHOTOGRAPHER with those strings into a single Connecticut 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.

The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $440 ($432,799 divided by 984 lines), against about $222 nationwide ($14,417,201 divided by 64,876). 31 Connecticut donors produced 984 contributions, about 31.7 itemized rows per donor, versus about 35.9 nationally. A mean is not a median and not a typical check. Skew from a few large itemized gifts can move $440 without changing the unique-donor count of 31.

PHOTOGRAPHER as a creative-practice string

PHOTOGRAPHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $14,417,201 national total is PHOTOGRAPHER only. 1,809 donors produced 64,876 contributions in that occupation bucket. PHOTOGRAPHER is a creative-practice self-description, not a studio-license or copyright-registry extract. Nearby labels PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTIST, and PHOTOJOURNALIST remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 64,876 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). 64,876 national contributions make PHOTOGRAPHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Connecticut 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.

Connecticut donor state, not studio location proof

31 Connecticut donors produced 984 contributions totaling $432,799. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $432,799. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from CT-coded donors.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only PHOTOGRAPHER. The Photographer occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 97.0% of the $14,417,201 (remainder $13,984,402). Connecticut’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CT. PHOTOGRAPHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Copyright registrations are not FEC occupation fields

A 3.0% dollar share in Connecticut 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 31 unique donors as a studio-license or copyright-registry extract. PHOTOGRAPHER is not interchangeable with PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTIST, and PHOTOJOURNALIST.

Quote $432,799, 984 contributions, and 31 donors for Photographer in Connecticut, against $14,417,201 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—Photographer and Connecticut—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Connecticut Photographer citation with all three counts

A complete claim names Photographer and Connecticut (CT), then $432,799, 984 contributions, 31 donors, and 3.0% of $14,417,201, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Connecticut: $13,984,402. Mean gift $440 is $432,799 divided by 984 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 Connecticut dollars on this page from the national PHOTOGRAPHER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PHOTOGRAPHER in every other state combined. That remainder ($13,984,402) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 31 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.

Creative occupation hubs and Connecticut totals

Photographer donations holds the $14,417,201 national occupation total. Connecticut 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.

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string PHOTOGRAPHER and state is CT. 31 donors are not a studio-license or copyright-registry extract. PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTIST, and PHOTOJOURNALIST, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Photographer. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Are recipients Connecticut committees only?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Connecticut. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $432,799 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Connecticut campaign finance for every occupation coded to CT; open Photographer donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
