Private Investor political contributions from California

Private Investor and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PRIVATE INVESTOR and donor state CA produce $2,038,140, 890 contributions, and 145 donors. The occupation hub is $10,334,178, 7,639 contributions, and 954 donors. California’s dollar share is about 19.7%; contribution share about 11.7% (890 of 7,639); donor share about 15.2% (145 of 954). One hundred forty-five California donors are about 15.2% of 954 national donors; 890 contributions are about 11.7% of 7,639 national rows; dollars are about 19.7% of $10,334,178.

INVESTOR, INVESTMENTS, and PRIVATE EQUITY, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Private Investor total. Do not stack PRIVATE INVESTOR with INVESTOR or INVESTMENTS into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

145 California donors produced 890 contributions, about 6.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 8.0 rows per donor nationally (7,639 contributions from 954 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $2,290, against about $1,353 nationwide. California’s about 19.7% dollar share from 145 people is a high-mean slice of a 954-donor two-word occupation.

PRIVATE INVESTOR as a two-word status title

PRIVATE INVESTOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify assets under management, a fund, or accredited-investor status. The two-word title on the form is the filter. The $10,334,178 national total is PRIVATE INVESTOR only. 954 donors produced 7,639 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 7,639 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). Nine hundred fifty-four national donors make PRIVATE INVESTOR a small occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as the Private Investor state stamp

145 California donors produced 890 contributions totaling $2,038,140. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California license, and not a limit to California candidates. CA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a California fund, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,038,140.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only PRIVATE INVESTOR. The Private Investor occupation hub without California still holds about 80.3% of the $10,334,178. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. PRIVATE INVESTOR is only this filter.

What the Private Investor–California join is not

This page does not count funds, merge Investor dollars, or claim that Private Investor-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PRIVATE INVESTOR is not INVESTOR even when filers meant a capital job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PRIVATE INVESTOR is not an AUM census. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Fund names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Private Investor filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national PRIVATE INVESTOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PRIVATE INVESTOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($8,296,038) 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 145 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 890 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,038,140 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the PRIVATE INVESTOR national total, drops a key. One hundred forty-five donors producing 890 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,038,140 headline.

All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Texas Finance in this slice is a different occupation string on a different state.
