Physicist political contributions from New Mexico

Physicist crossed with New Mexico

The join keeps occupation PHYSICIST and donor state NM. The intersection is $487,456, 2,468 contributions, and 91 donors. The occupation nationwide is $9,957,534, 35,002 contributions, and 996 donors. New Mexico holds about 4.9% of Physicist-coded dollars, about 7.1% of Physicist-coded contribution rows, and about 9.1% of Physicist-coded donors.

Donor share (about 9.1%) and row share (about 7.1%) run ahead of dollar share (about 4.9%). New Mexico is more visible in the Physicist headcount than in the Physicist dollar total. That pattern can appear when a state has many labeled donors whose itemized totals are smaller than donors coded elsewhere. It is not a ranking of research states.

Ninety-one New Mexico donors and 2,468 contribution rows produced $487,456 under PHYSICIST. The occupation side is $9,957,534, 35,002 contributions, and 996 donors. About 9.1% of donors and about 4.9% of dollars means New Mexico is more visible in labeled headcount than in labeled money. SCIENTIST is a different string. Employer is not in this packet. The NM code is a donor-state value, not a laboratory name.

PHYSICIST as a national occupation string

PHYSICIST is the typed title. PHYSICS, SCIENTIST, and RESEARCHER are other buckets. This join does not merge them. The national totals—$9,957,534 from 996 donors and 35,002 contributions—are the labeled receipts, not a membership list of any physics society.

Nine hundred ninety-six donors producing 35,002 contributions implies frequent itemized giving inside the national label. New Mexico’s 2,468 rows from 91 donors are a noticeable piece of that line volume.

Ninety-one New Mexico donors

Ninety-one New Mexico donors produced 2,468 contributions totaling $487,456. Other New Mexico occupations are outside this join. Physicist receipts from other states fill the remainder of $9,957,534.

NM is the contributor state. It does not prove employment at any named lab or university, and it does not prove New Mexico federal candidates received the $487,456. Employer is a separate FEC field not aggregated here.

New Mexico’s 91 Physicist-coded donors and 2,468 contributions sit inside 996 national donors and 35,002 national contributions. The $487,456 does not name a laboratory.

Do not turn a state code into an employer story

Readers may associate New Mexico with national laboratories. This packet’s facts do not include employer, city, or ZIP. Inferring Los Alamos or Sandia from the NM code would add information the join does not contain. The relationship is occupation PHYSICIST plus state NM only.

Keep the numbers literal: $487,456 of $9,957,534, 91 of 996 donors, 2,468 of 35,002 contributions.

Headcount without an employer column

New Mexico’s Physicist join is $487,456 from 91 donors and 2,468 contributions against $9,957,534 from 996 donors and 35,002 contributions nationwide. About 9.1% of donors and about 4.9% of dollars means New Mexico is more visible in the labeled headcount than in the labeled money. About 7.1% of the 35,002 rows (2,468) sits between those two shares.

PHYSICIST is not SCIENTIST or RESEARCHER. Those strings are other pages. Employer, city, and ZIP are not in this packet. A national-lab story would require those fields. The NM code is a donor-state value on itemized individual receipts, not a workplace.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC individual contributions are not federal research awards. See Physicist donations, New Mexico campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

What the join will not claim

This page does not say New Mexico science funds federal elections, and it does not equate FEC donations with federal research awards. Two FEC columns met. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. See Physicist donations, New Mexico campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

New Mexico’s 91 donors remain the full identity count on this PHYSICIST plus NM filter; the $487,456 is not a laboratory payroll.

Questions

How much have Physicist donors in New Mexico given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Physicist and state New Mexico total $487,456. That join includes 2,468 contributions and 91 donors. Nationwide, Physicist-coded receipts are $9,957,534 from 996 donors and 35,002 contributions. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Are these national-lab physicists?

The facts do not include employer. The occupation field is PHYSICIST as entered and the state field is NM. Nationally the label covers 996 donors and $9,957,534. This tie only adds the New Mexico donor-state filter. Naming a lab would go beyond the packet.

Why is New Mexico’s donor share higher than its dollar share?

New Mexico has 91 of 996 Physicist donors (about 9.1%) and $487,456 of $9,957,534 (about 4.9%). Headcount outruns dollars in this cut. The 91 donors are not named and the 2,468 rows are not split by committee.

Did this money go to New Mexico campaigns?

Not necessarily. Donor state is New Mexico. Recipients can be committees anywhere that file with the FEC. This page does not allocate the $487,456 by office Donor state is the address on the itemized individual record, not a map of New Mexico races. This join is $487,456 from 91 donors and 2,468 contributions against $9,957,534 nationwide. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system.
