Principal political contributions from New York

Principal and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PRINCIPAL and donor state NY produce $3,898,008, 7,171 contributions, and 657 donors. The occupation hub is $43,606,592, 96,709 contributions, and 7,007 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 8.9%; contribution share about 7.4% (7,171 of 96,709); donor share about 9.4% (657 of 7,007). Six hundred fifty-seven New York donors are about 9.4% of 7,007 national donors; 7,171 contributions are about 7.4% of 96,709 national rows; dollars are about 8.9% of $43,606,592.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, PRINCIPAL OWNER, and MANAGING PRINCIPAL, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Principal total. Do not stack PRINCIPAL with SCHOOL PRINCIPAL or MANAGING PRINCIPAL into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

657 New York donors produced 7,171 contributions, about 10.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 13.8 rows per donor nationally (96,709 contributions from 7,007 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $544, against about $451 nationwide. New York’s about 8.9% share of $43,606,592 is a large one-word-title cell, not a school or firm census.

PRINCIPAL as a one-word title string

PRINCIPAL is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a school appointment, a firm partnership, or an employer. 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 York (NY). Seven thousand seven national donors make PRINCIPAL a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

657 New York donors produced 7,171 contributions totaling $3,898,008. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York school or firm, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,898,008.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only PRINCIPAL. The Principal occupation hub without New York still holds about 91.1% of the $43,606,592. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. PRINCIPAL is only this filter.

What the Principal join is not

This page does not split school versus firm titles, merge Managing Partner dollars, or claim that Principal-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PRINCIPAL is not SCHOOL PRINCIPAL even when filers meant a campus role.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PRINCIPAL is not a school or firm extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Principal filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national PRINCIPAL occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PRINCIPAL in every other state combined. That remainder ($39,708,584) 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 657 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 7,171 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,898,008 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the PRINCIPAL national total, drops a key. Six hundred fifty-seven donors producing 7,171 contributions totaling $3,898,008 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Principal donations holds the $43,606,592 national occupation total. New York 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. The New York Managing Partner tie is a different occupation join on the same state code.
