Pilot political contributions from Arizona

Pilot-coded contributions from Arizona addresses

Occupation PILOT and donor state AZ produce $389,258, 2,947 contributions, and 115 donors. The occupation hub is $11,039,454, 73,932 contributions, and 2,899 donors. Arizona’s dollar share is about 3.5%; contribution share about 4.0% (2,947 of 73,932); donor share about 4.0% (115 of 2,899). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Pilot hub and not a restatement of all Arizona occupations.

AIRLINE PILOT, AVIATOR, and CAPTAIN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack PILOT with those strings into a single Arizona 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.

115 Arizona donors produced 2,947 contributions, about 25.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 25.5 rows per donor nationally (73,932 contributions from 2,899 donors). Line volume in Arizona is the distinctive feature of this cell: 4.0% of national PILOT contributions against a 3.5% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this Arizona cell is about $132, against about $149 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

PILOT versus AIRLINE PILOT and CAPTAIN

PILOT is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $11,039,454 national total is PILOT only. 2,899 donors produced 73,932 contributions in that occupation bucket. PILOT is a short aviation self-description, not an FAA airman certificate extract. Nearby labels AIRLINE PILOT, AVIATOR, and CAPTAIN remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 73,932 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Arizona (AZ). 73,932 national contributions make PILOT a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the Arizona 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.

Arizona as the state on the itemized record

115 Arizona donors produced 2,947 contributions totaling $389,258. Donor state AZ is the address on the record, not proof of a Arizona license, and not a limit to Arizona candidates. AZ is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $389,258. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from AZ-coded donors.

The Arizona campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to AZ. This join is only PILOT. The Pilot occupation hub without Arizona still holds about 96.5% of the $11,039,454 (remainder $10,650,196). Arizona’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to AZ. PILOT is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Certificate class and employer airline are not in the join

A 3.5% dollar share in Arizona 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 115 unique donors as an FAA airman certificate extract. PILOT is not interchangeable with AIRLINE PILOT, AVIATOR, and CAPTAIN.

Quote $389,258, 2,947 contributions, and 115 donors for Pilot in Arizona, against $11,039,454 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—Pilot and Arizona—whenever the dollars are quoted.

Arizona Pilot dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Pilot and Arizona (AZ), then $389,258, 2,947 contributions, 115 donors, and 3.5% of $11,039,454, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside Arizona: $10,650,196. Mean gift $132 is $389,258 divided by 2,947 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 Arizona dollars on this page from the national PILOT occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PILOT in every other state combined. That remainder ($10,650,196) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 115 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.

Aviation occupation pages and Arizona finance

Pilot donations holds the $11,039,454 national occupation total. Arizona 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. Aviation labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Questions

How much have Pilot donors in Arizona given?

Nationwide, PILOT-coded receipts are $11,039,454 from 73,932 contributions and 2,899 donors. Arizona is about 3.5% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include airline pilots who wrote a longer title?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string PILOT and state is AZ. 115 donors are not an FAA airman certificate extract. AIRLINE PILOT, AVIATOR, and CAPTAIN, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Pilot. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Pilot FEC money is from Arizona?

Remainder outside Arizona: $10,650,196. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Is this an FAA airman list for Arizona?

Not as a published split. Donor state is Arizona. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $389,258 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Arizona campaign finance for every occupation coded to AZ; open Pilot donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
