Photographer political contributions from New York

The Photographer–New York intersection

Occupation PHOTOGRAPHER and donor state NY produce $3,318,770, 11,359 contributions, and 334 donors. The occupation hub is $14,417,201, 64,876 contributions, and 1,809 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 23.0%; contribution share about 17.5% (11,359 of 64,876); donor share about 18.5% (334 of 1,809). Three hundred thirty-four New York donors are about 18.5% of 1,809 national donors; 11,359 contributions are about 17.5% of 64,876 national rows; dollars are about 23.0% of $14,417,201.

PHOTOGRAPHY, ARTIST, and PHOTOJOURNALIST, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Photographer total. Do not stack PHOTOGRAPHER with PHOTOGRAPHY or ARTIST into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

334 New York donors produced 11,359 contributions, about 34.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 35.9 rows per donor nationally (64,876 contributions from 1,809 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $292, against about $222 nationwide. New York’s about 23.0% dollar share runs ahead of its about 18.5% donor share — a higher-mean slice of the national PHOTOGRAPHER bucket.

PHOTOGRAPHER as a craft-title string

PHOTOGRAPHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a studio, a union card, or a New York employer. One word on the form is the filter. The $14,417,201 national total is PHOTOGRAPHER only. 1,809 donors produced 64,876 contributions in that occupation bucket.

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 New York (NY). Sixty-four thousand eight hundred seventy-six national contributions make PHOTOGRAPHER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York as donor state

334 New York donors produced 11,359 contributions totaling $3,318,770. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York studio, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,318,770.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only PHOTOGRAPHER. The Photographer occupation hub without New York still holds about 77.0% of the $14,417,201. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. PHOTOGRAPHER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count working photographers, merge ARTIST dollars, or claim that Photographer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PHOTOGRAPHER is not ARTIST even when one person used both titles. Advertising and Marketing in New York are different occupation-state pairs.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PHOTOGRAPHER is not a photographers guild extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Studio names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Photographer filter

Subtract the New York 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 ($11,098,431) 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 334 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 11,359 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,318,770 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the PHOTOGRAPHER national total, drops a key. Three hundred thirty-four donors producing 11,359 contributions totaling $3,318,770 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
