Producer political contributions from Illinois

PRODUCER plus Illinois, a word with several jobs inside it

Occupation PRODUCER and donor state IL produce $979,481, 1,877 contributions, and 51 donors. The occupation hub is $20,616,070, 49,502 contributions, and 2,154 donors. Illinois’s dollar share is about 4.8% ($979,481 of $20,616,070). Its contribution share is about 3.8% (1,877 of 49,502). Its donor share is about 2.4% (51 of 2,154).

Dollar share exceeds donor share. Fifty-one people produced a larger slice of dollars than of unique-donor headcount. Contribution share sits between the two. That pattern is moderate concentration, not a six-donor cell.

FILM PRODUCER, INSURANCE PRODUCER, and CREATIVE DIRECTOR are other keys if stored separately. They are not inside $20,616,070 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping. Creative Director donors in Illinois is a neighboring join with 35 donors and $1,150,795.

Why PRODUCER should not be read as Hollywood

Insurance producers, agricultural producers, and entertainment producers share a word. FEC.gov stores the string. Two thousand one hundred fifty-four national donors used it. People who typed FILM PRODUCER or EXECUTIVE PRODUCER sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.

Forty-nine thousand five hundred two contributions from 2,154 donors nationwide is about 23 itemized gifts per donor. Illinois’s 1,877 contributions from 51 donors is about 37 gifts per donor. Repeat itemization is denser in the Illinois cell than in the national occupation average.

Fifty-one Illinois donors and mean gift size

Dividing $979,481 by 1,877 contributions yields about $522 per gift. Dividing by 51 donors yields about $19,206 per donor. Nationally, $20,616,070 divided by 49,502 contributions is about $416 per gift. The Illinois mean is modestly higher than the national occupation mean. Gifts-per-donor is higher as well.

Donor state IL is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Illinois committees. Interior Designer and Insurance Broker Illinois ties use different occupation strings. An insurance producer who typed INSURANCE BROKER is not in this cell.

Fifty-one Illinois donors produced 1,877 contributions, about 37 itemized gifts per person, versus about 23 nationally. Frequency is higher. Mean gift (about $522 versus about $416) is a modest premium. Both gaps push the 4.8% dollar share above the 2.4% donor share without turning the cell into a seven-person blowout.

What 4.8% of Producer dollars is not

Illinois’s share is a table split. It is not evidence that Illinois caused producer giving, that producers as a class funded a party, or that campaign receipts measure film production or crop output. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR and INSURANCE BROKER Illinois joins show why PRODUCER is a risky label. Entertainment and insurance both use the word. This page does not split them. A recode after export would need employer text, which this occupation-state aggregate does not attach.

Occupation hub, state hub, neighboring Illinois titles

Producer donations carries the $20,616,070 national occupation total. Illinois campaign finance carries all IL-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep PRODUCER separate from CREATIVE DIRECTOR and INSURANCE BROKER so $979,481 is not treated as a combined media or insurance sector.

The occupation hub still holds $19,636,589 outside Illinois ($20,616,070 minus $979,481). Use Producer donations for that remainder. Do not read $979,481 as Illinois film production or as insurance-producer licensing.

Ambiguous title, specific Illinois counts

Fifty-one Illinois donors, 1,877 contributions, and $979,481 are specific. The word PRODUCER is not. Until employer text is used in a recode, this join cannot say how much of the cell is entertainment, insurance, or agriculture. The counts still belong on the relationship page as the field match.

The remaining $19,636,589 sits outside Illinois. Use Producer donations for that remainder. Keep CREATIVE DIRECTOR’s Illinois file alongside this one without adding the two dollar figures.
