Private Equity political contributions from Connecticut

Private Equity intersected with Connecticut

The occupation field and the donor-state field are independent. This tie keeps PRIVATE EQUITY and CT. The match is $729,780, 348 contributions, and 78 donors. The occupation nationwide is $12,573,762, 6,643 contributions, and 990 donors. Connecticut holds about 5.8% of Private Equity-coded dollars, about 5.2% of Private Equity-coded contribution rows, and about 7.9% of Private Equity-coded donors.

Donor share (about 7.9%) runs ahead of dollar share (about 5.8%). Connecticut is more visible in the Private Equity headcount than in the Private Equity dollar total. That is the opposite of joins where a few donors carry most of the money. The national occupation hub still mixes every other state. The Connecticut hub still mixes every other occupation string.

Seventy-eight Connecticut donors and 348 contribution rows produced $729,780 under PRIVATE EQUITY. The occupation side is $12,573,762, 6,643 contributions, and 990 donors. About 7.9% of donors and about 5.8% of dollars is a people-ahead-of-money cut. PRIVATE EQUITY as a job string is not a fund-by-fund directory. The 348 Connecticut rows do not identify portfolio companies or recipient committees. They identify receipts that used both filters.

PRIVATE EQUITY as a filed job title

PRIVATE EQUITY is an industry phrase used as an occupation. VENTURE CAPITAL, INVESTMENT BANKING, and INVESTOR are other pages. Filers who wrote PARTNER or MANAGING DIRECTOR without naming private equity are not in this bucket. The national totals—$12,573,762 from 990 donors and 6,643 contributions—are the labeled set, not a directory of PE professionals.

Compared with high-row occupations such as RN, Private Equity has fewer contribution lines relative to dollars: 6,643 contributions against $12,573,762 nationally. This page does not interpret that as typical check size. It only reports the aggregates and the Connecticut cut.

Connecticut’s 78-donor portion

Seventy-eight Connecticut donors produced 348 contributions totaling $729,780. Other Connecticut occupation joins—Investment Banking and Financial Analyst among them—use different strings and must not be added into a “Connecticut finance” total on this page. Private Equity receipts from other states fill the remainder of $12,573,762.

CT is the contributor state on the receipt. It does not prove the donor works in Greenwich, Stamford, or anywhere else in particular, and it does not prove Connecticut federal candidates received the $729,780.

Headcount ahead of dollars

About 7.9% of Private Equity donors and about 5.8% of Private Equity dollars sit in Connecticut. The join is people-heavier than dollar-heavy relative to the national occupation. That pattern can appear when a state has many labeled donors whose itemized totals are smaller than donors coded to other states. It is not a ranking of Connecticut against New York or California; those states are not in this packet’s facts.

Keep the comparison inside the numbers given: $729,780 of $12,573,762, 78 of 990 donors, 348 of 6,643 contributions.

Donor share ahead of dollars on a lower-row occupation

Connecticut’s Private Equity join is $729,780 from 78 donors and 348 contributions against $12,573,762 from 990 donors and 6,643 contributions nationwide. About 7.9% of donors and about 5.8% of dollars: headcount outruns money. About 5.2% of rows (348 of 6,643) sits near the dollar share. Compared with high-row occupations, Private Equity has fewer lines relative to dollars nationally, and Connecticut follows that lower-frequency shape.

VENTURE CAPITAL and INVESTMENT BANKING are other strings. Financial Analyst is another Connecticut occupation-state pair. None of those national totals is $12,573,762, and none of those state totals is $729,780. Stacking them invents a finance super-total.

What the relationship excludes

This page does not say private equity funds Connecticut elections, and it does not treat FEC donations as the same thing as federal contract dollars. FEC individual contributions and USAspending awards are different systems. Here, two FEC columns met. Correlation is not causation.
