Principal and Maryland as a dollar-heavier occupation-state cell
Occupation PRINCIPAL and donor state MD produce $2,712,704, 3,790 contributions, and 231 donors. The occupation hub is $43,606,592, 96,709 contributions, and 7,007 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (6.2%, 3.9%, 3.3%). Maryland tracks the national Principal mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Maryland Principal dollars outrun a thinner contribution and donor share.
Principal is a one-word title that can mean a school, a firm, or a fund. Nearby strings — SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, PRINCIPAL OWNER, MANAGING PRINCIPAL, and PARTNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,712,704 or $43,606,592. This Maryland join is a different state filter from the Texas Principal tie; do not add the two state totals on this page.
231 Maryland donors produced 3,790 contributions, about 16.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.8 rows per donor nationally (96,709 contributions from 7,007 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Maryland cell are about $11,743, versus about $6,223 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.
PRINCIPAL as an undifferentiated title stamp
PRINCIPAL is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a school appointment, a firm partnership, or a Maryland educator certificate. The national grouping is 7,007 donors, 96,709 contributions, and $43,606,592.
96,709 contributions from 7,007 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Maryland’s 3,790 contributions from 231 donors is the MD-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Maryland.
Two hundred thirty-one Maryland Principal donors
231 Maryland donors produced 3,790 contributions totaling $2,712,704. Donor state MD is the address on the record, not proof of a Maryland professional license, and not a limit to Maryland candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.
The Maryland campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MD. This join is only PRINCIPAL. Subtract $2,712,704 from $43,606,592 and $40,893,888 remains coded Principal in every other state combined (92,919 contributions, 6,776 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.
Six percent of dollars from about three percent of donors
This page does not measure principal output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Principal-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an MSDE administrator extract, not a Maryland bar partnership census, and not a PE GP roster.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state MD is not recipient geography.
Principal strings that remain other hubs
A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $2,712,704, 3,790 contributions, and 231 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Maryland dollars, or only the Principal national total, drops a key.
Principal donations holds the $43,606,592 national occupation total. Maryland 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. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, PRINCIPAL OWNER, MANAGING PRINCIPAL, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.
This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. This Maryland join is a different state filter from the Texas Principal tie; do not add the two state totals on this page.
