Program Manager and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PROGRAM MANAGER and donor state CA produce $2,050,701, 13,208 contributions, and 424 donors. The occupation hub is $8,496,696, 73,562 contributions, and 1,991 donors. California’s dollar share is about 24.1%; contribution share about 18.0% (13,208 of 73,562); donor share about 21.3% (424 of 1,991). Four hundred twenty-four California donors are about 21.3% of 1,991 national donors; 13,208 contributions are about 18.0% of 73,562 national rows; dollars are about 24.1% of $8,496,696.

PROJECT MANAGER, MANAGER, and PRODUCT MANAGER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Program Manager total. Do not stack PROGRAM MANAGER with PROJECT MANAGER or MANAGER into a single California professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

424 California donors produced 13,208 contributions, about 31.2 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 36.9 rows per donor nationally (73,562 contributions from 1,991 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $155, against about $116 nationwide. California’s about 24.1% dollar share from 13,208 rows is a high-repeat slice of a 1,991-donor two-word occupation.

PROGRAM MANAGER as a two-word workplace title

PROGRAM MANAGER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a federal program, a tech product, or a nonprofit grant. The two-word title on the form is the filter. The $8,496,696 national total is PROGRAM MANAGER only. 1,991 donors produced 73,562 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 73,562 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). One thousand nine hundred ninety-one national donors make PROGRAM MANAGER a mid-size bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California as the Program Manager state stamp

424 California donors produced 13,208 contributions totaling $2,050,701. 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 employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,050,701.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only PROGRAM MANAGER. The Program Manager occupation hub without California still holds about 75.9% of the $8,496,696. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. PROGRAM MANAGER is only this filter.

What the Program Manager–California join is not

This page does not count federal program officers, merge Project Manager dollars, or claim that Program Manager-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PROGRAM MANAGER is not PROJECT MANAGER even when filers meant a similar job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PROGRAM MANAGER is not a program-officer census. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Program Manager filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national PROGRAM MANAGER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PROGRAM MANAGER in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,445,995) 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 424 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 13,208 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,050,701 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 PROGRAM MANAGER national total, drops a key. Four hundred twenty-four donors producing 13,208 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,050,701 headline.
