Plumber political contributions from Oregon

How occupation Plumber meets donor state Oregon

Occupation PLUMBER and donor state OR produce $72,913, 216 contributions, and 5 donors. The occupation hub is $5,890,623, 49,226 contributions, and 1,269 donors. Oregon’s dollar share is about 1.2%; contribution share about 0.4% (216 of 49,226); donor share about 0.4% (5 of 1,269). Five Oregon donors are about 0.4% of 1,269 national donors; 216 contributions are about 0.4% of 49,226 national rows; dollars are about 1.2% of $5,890,623.

PIPEFITTER, PLUMBING, and PIPEFITTER/PLUMBER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Plumber total. Do not stack PLUMBER with PIPEFITTER or PLUMBING into a single Oregon professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

5 Oregon donors produced 216 contributions, about 43.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 38.8 rows per donor nationally (49,226 contributions from 1,269 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Oregon cell is about $338, against about $120 nationwide. Oregon’s about 1.2% dollar share from five people sits inside a high-frequency national bucket (49,226 contributions).

PLUMBER as a trade-title string

PLUMBER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an Oregon journeyman card, a contractor license, or a union local. One word on the form is the filter. The $5,890,623 national total is PLUMBER only. 1,269 donors produced 49,226 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 49,226 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Oregon (OR). Forty-nine thousand two hundred twenty-six national contributions make PLUMBER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state OR.

Oregon on the state side

5 Oregon donors produced 216 contributions totaling $72,913. Donor state OR is the address on the record, not proof of a Oregon license, and not a limit to Oregon candidates. OR is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Oregon plumbing license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $72,913.

The Oregon campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OR. This join is only PLUMBER. The Plumber occupation hub without Oregon still holds about 98.8% of the $5,890,623. Oregon’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to OR. PLUMBER is only this filter.

What not to infer from Plumber plus Oregon

This page does not count licensed plumbers, merge pipefitter dollars, or claim that Plumber-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PLUMBER is not PIPEFITTER even when filers meant a related trade. Creative Director in Oregon is a different occupation-state pair in this slice.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PLUMBER is not an Oregon plumbing-license extract. Donor state OR is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. License numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Plumber filter

Subtract the Oregon dollars on this page from the national PLUMBER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PLUMBER in every other state combined. That remainder ($5,817,710) 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 5 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 216 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $72,913 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Oregon dollars, or only the PLUMBER national total, drops a key. Five donors producing 216 contributions totaling $72,913 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Plumber donations holds the $5,890,623 national occupation total. Oregon 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. Creative Director in Oregon is a different occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
