Private Equity political contributions from Minnesota

Private Equity and Minnesota as a sparse finance join

Occupation PRIVATE EQUITY and donor state MN together sum to $187,704, 55 contributions, and 16 donors. The occupation hub is $12,573,762, 6,643 contributions, and 990 donors. Minnesota's share of dollars is 1.5%; of contributions, 0.83% (55 of 6,643); of donors, 1.6% (16 of 990).

Sixteen Minnesota donors produced 55 itemized rows — a low-row cell against 6,643 national Private Equity contributions. Mean itemized dollars per Minnesota donor in this cell are $11,732; mean per contribution are $3,413. Those averages are arithmetic on the three packet counts, not typical-gift medians, and they are not evidence of a typical Private Equity paycheck.

The leftover $12,386,058 is Private Equity-coded money from every other state combined on this extract. Adding other occupation strings that sound similar would invent a combined total the FEC file does not publish as one cell. VENTURE CAPITAL, INVESTMENT BANKING, and HEDGE FUND, if used, sit in other hubs.

PRIVATE EQUITY as a firm-type occupation string

PRIVATE EQUITY is the occupation string on this page. Neighboring labels are not rolled in. VENTURE CAPITAL, INVESTMENT BANKING, and HEDGE FUND, if used, sit in other hubs. The national hub remains $12,573,762 from 990 donors and 6,643 contributions even when a reader expects a broader professional category.

Minnesota's 55 contributions are 0.83% of national Private Equity rows; 16 donors are 1.6%; dollars are 1.5%. Row share and dollar share need not match. A few large itemized gifts can lift dollars while a high-repeat pattern lifts rows. This extract does not publish a median.

Sixteen Minnesota Private Equity donors

16 Minnesota donors produced 55 contributions totaling $187,704. Donor state MN is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a Minnesota workplace, and not a limit to Minnesota candidates.

The Minnesota campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MN. This join is only PRIVATE EQUITY. VENTURE CAPITAL, INVESTMENT BANKING, and HEDGE FUND, if used, sit in other hubs. They are not this page even when they share the MN state code.

Private Equity donations without Minnesota still holds the remainder of the $12,573,762 occupation total ($12,386,058). A Minnesota directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Fifty-five rows are not a fund census

This page does not measure an SEC adviser census, a fund-AUM table, or a GP/LP directory, and it does not claim that Private Equity-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

PRIVATE EQUITY fragments against sibling strings. Those strings, if used, never enter the $12,573,762 or the $187,704. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Minnesota dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Private Equity dollars outside Minnesota

Subtract the Minnesota dollars on this page from the national Private Equity occupation total and the difference is $12,386,058 still coded Private Equity in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Private Equity donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Minnesota campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

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 all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Minnesota dollars, or only the Private Equity national total, drops a key.

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. Sparse pe overlap is the unit: PRIVATE EQUITY × MN = $187,704.

Read the three Minnesota counts as one cell: $187,704 dollars, 55 contributions, 16 donors. Read the three national Private Equity counts as the other: $12,573,762, 6,643, 990. Percentages (1.5% of dollars, 0.83% of rows, 1.6% of donors) are ratios of those six integers. No election cycle is named in these aggregates, so the totals are the LobbyVault FEC extract window rather than a single even-year cycle. Sixteen Minnesota donors produced 55 itemized rows — a low-row cell against 6,643 national Private Equity contributions.

Related tables for Private Equity and Minnesota

Private Equity donations holds the $12,573,762 national occupation total and the 990-donor count. Minnesota campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to MN. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections. None of those hubs is a substitute for quoting $187,704, 55 contributions, and 16 donors together.
