PRINCIPAL in New Jersey, undistinguished uses

PRINCIPAL is a filer-entered string. INVESTOR in New Jersey is a separate join in this slice. Do not add PRINCIPAL to INVESTOR. The $43,606,592 national total is PRINCIPAL only. 7,007 donors produced 96,709 contributions in that occupation bucket. This page does not split those 96,709 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New Jersey (NJ).

327 New Jersey donors produced 3,435 contributions totaling $1,539,222. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. The leftover $42,067,370 is Principal-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Three hundred twenty-seven New Jersey Principal donors

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only PRINCIPAL. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey school or firm role, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. The Principal occupation hub without New Jersey still holds 96.5% of the $43,606,592.

Principal donations holds the $43,606,592 national occupation total. New Jersey 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.

Certificates, Investor NJ, and awards

This page does not merge New Jersey Principal with New Jersey Investor or invent a school-versus-firm split. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PRINCIPAL is not a New Jersey school-principal certificate file. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. FEC.gov does not split school-principal from firm-principal on this page. The stored string is PRINCIPAL.

Subtract the New Jersey dollars on this page from the national PRINCIPAL occupation total and the difference is $42,067,370 still coded PRINCIPAL in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 327 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.
