Private Equity itemized gifts from Rhode Island

Reading $203,327 as Private Equity in Rhode Island

Where donor state RI meets occupation PRIVATE EQUITY, itemized individual contributions sum to $203,327 across 32 lines and 5 donor keys. The occupation aggregate without a state screen is $12,573,762 from 6,643 contributions and 990 donors. Rhode Island is 1.6% of that occupation book; $12,370,435 was filed under other states. The arithmetic uses only packet facts. Rhode Island’s Private Equity cell is five donor keys against a large national industry-style total; do not treat five keys as a Rhode Island PE-fund directory.

This URL is a relationship page. Section one states the relationship. Later sections unpack the occupation side, the state side, the gift math, and the caveats. It is not a restatement of Private Equity donations across states, and it is not a restatement of Rhode Island campaign finance across occupations.

Sibling titles next to Private Equity

Private Investor, Investor, Venture Capital, and Private Equity Partner are neighboring occupation strings. They are not parents of PRIVATE EQUITY and they are not folded into $203,327. A searcher who needs those titles should open those occupation hubs, not rescale 1.6%. All occupations lists the neighboring keys.

PRIVATE EQUITY is the industry-style occupation string. Private Investor is a different key. The packet does not name a fund, a GP, or an AUM figure. Filer-entered labels are noisy. Spelling variants, abbreviations, and extra words create extra rows. This page cites one row: PRIVATE EQUITY in Rhode Island for $203,327.

Reading 32 contributions as a line count

Line count 32 and donor count 5 answer different questions. How many itemized receipts carried PRIVATE EQUITY and state RI? 32. How many donor keys those receipts grouped to? 5. How many dollars? $203,327. Pair counts with dollars. A small donor file can still hold a large dollar total if a few keys dominate; this packet does not prove that pattern, and it does not disprove it.

Dollar share is not a worker-count share

$203,327 ÷ $12,573,762 = 1.6%. $12,370,435 ÷ $12,573,762 = the complement. Those identities use the packet’s state cell and occupation total only. They do not use 5 except as a separate donor-key count. Do not convert 5 into a percentage of an unpublished national donor file and then treat that percentage as dollars.

A 1.6% dollar share means other states still hold $12,370,435 under the same occupation string. That is a description of this table, not a claim that Private Equity was quiet or loud in Rhode Island politics. Other states are not itemized on this page except as that remainder.

What this join does not prove

This page does not rank Rhode Island as more or less Private Equity-driven than other states, does not call the cell a wave, and does not treat itemized gifts as a proxy for professional opinion. Two columns matched. The occupation of the donor is not a verified job. A PRIVATE EQUITY occupation code does not mean the money supported only people in that trade. Amended reports can move either number.

Independent expenditures and non-individual tables are omitted. See Rhode Island campaign finance, Private Equity donations, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the adjacent tables. Dollar figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. They are not federal spending awards and they do not fund USAspending totals. Source: FEC.gov.

Itemized coverage and what stays outside

Itemized coverage means receipts that met the FEC itemization threshold and carried this occupation string. $203,327 is that subset for Rhode Island. It is not total political spending by people who hold similar jobs, and it is not total Rhode Island receipts.

PRIVATE EQUITY is the industry-style occupation string. Private Investor is a different key. The packet does not name a fund, a GP, or an AUM figure. Keep Private Equity and Rhode Island in the same sentence as $203,327. Dropping either noun misstates the denominator.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Private Equity, donor state Rhode Island (RI), $203,327 itemized, 32 contributions, 5 donors, 1.6% of $12,573,762 from 990 national donors. PRIVATE EQUITY is the industry-style occupation string. Private Investor is a different key. The packet does not name a fund, a GP, or an AUM figure. Private Investor, Investor, Venture Capital, and Private Equity Partner stay on other occupation pages. The Rhode Island campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.
