Principal political contributions from Texas

Principal and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PRINCIPAL and donor state TX produce $3,274,020, 7,189 contributions, and 504 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 (7.5%, 7.4%, 7.2%). Texas tracks the national Principal mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Texas Principal shares cluster in the mid-sevens across dollars, rows, and donors.

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 $3,274,020 or $43,606,592. PRINCIPAL absorbs school leaders and firm principals unless the filer added a modifier.

504 Texas donors produced 7,189 contributions, about 14.3 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 Texas cell are about $6,496, 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 Texas 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. Texas’s 7,189 contributions from 504 donors is the TX-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 Texas.

Five hundred four Texas Principal donors

504 Texas donors produced 7,189 contributions totaling $3,274,020. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas professional license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only PRINCIPAL. Subtract $3,274,020 from $43,606,592 and $40,332,572 remains coded Principal in every other state combined (89,520 contributions, 6,503 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

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 a TEA campus-administrator extract, not a law-firm 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 TX 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 $3,274,020, 7,189 contributions, and 504 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the Principal national total, drops a key.

Principal donations holds the $43,606,592 national occupation total. Texas 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. PRINCIPAL absorbs school leaders and firm principals unless the filer added a modifier.
