Producer and California as a majority-share join

Occupation PRODUCER and state CA produce $12,676,205, 27,754 contributions, and 1,067 donors. The occupation nationwide is $20,616,070, 49,502 contributions, and 2,154 donors. California’s dollar share is about 61%. Contribution share is about 56% (27,754 of 49,502). Donor share is about 50% (1,067 of 2,154).

Unlike many occupation-state packets in this slice that sit in the 10–30% range, this Producer join is a majority of the national occupation on dollars and about half on people. That is still a geographic filter on a filer-entered title, not a census of California production companies.

Producer–California is a majority-share join: $12,676,205 of $20,616,070 (about 61%), 27,754 of 49,502 contributions (about 56%), 1,067 of 2,154 donors (about 50%). Half the people and three-fifths of the money are CA-coded. The occupation hub is therefore already mostly this geography, which is why the tie still has to name both sides: 1,067 donors and $12,676,205 are the CA filter, and the residual occupation money lives in other states’ cells, which this page does not list. PRODUCER is not DIRECTOR and not WRITER. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. The Producer hub holds $20,616,070. The California hub holds every occupation in the state. Independent expenditures are excluded.

Producer as a national occupation string

PRODUCER is unspecific: film, television, music, theater, or other uses can share the string. Director and writer are separate occupation pages. National Producer totals are 2,154 donors, 49,502 contributions, and $20,616,070.

Forty-nine thousand contributions from 2,154 donors shows repeat itemization. California’s 27,754 contributions from 1,067 donors is the CA-coded majority of that volume, not a union membership file.

California donor-state receipts

The CA side is $12,676,205 from 27,754 contributions and 1,067 donors. Donor state is the address on the record. Recipients may be committees anywhere; a California address does not confine the $12,676,205 to California races.

California campaign finance overall includes Writer, Director, and Founder. This tie isolates Producer. Writer–California is a different occupation and should not be added here.

What 61% does not prove

A California majority of Producer-coded dollars does not show that Hollywood funded a result, and it does not rank California against other states as more political. Occupation plus state is not causation.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Hubs for occupation, state, and neighboring creative titles

Producer donations holds the $20,616,070 national total. California campaign finance holds all CA-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties list Writer and Director California joins as separate packets so creative-occupation strings stay unmerged.

One thousand sixty-seven California Producer-coded donors are 50% of 2,154. Their 27,754 contributions are 56% of 49,502. Their $12,676,205 is 61% of $20,616,070. California is a majority of this occupation on dollars and about half on people.

Producer California as a majority-share geography

When a state filter holds $12,676,205 of $20,616,070, the occupation hub is already mostly this geography. The tie still matters: 1,067 of 2,154 donors and 27,754 of 49,502 contributions are the CA-coded counts. Other states still hold the residual occupation money. This page does not list those states’ totals.

PRODUCER is not DIRECTOR and not WRITER. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Producer donations and California campaign finance are the parent hubs. All occupations and all FEC ties keep those neighboring creative-title joins separate. Itemized individual contributions only. Independent expenditures excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page is the occupation-and-state join, not a guild roster, and not a claim that entertainment companies donated as entities. Occupation PRODUCER and donor state CA are the two columns. The $12,676,205 from 27,754 contributions and 1,067 donors is that majority-share cell inside $20,616,070, not a guild roster.
