Project Manager political contributions from California

Project Manager and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation PROJECT MANAGER and donor state CA produce $3,284,789, 27,952 contributions, and 717 donors. The occupation hub is $17,977,652, 133,955 contributions, and 4,306 donors. California’s dollar share is about 18.3%; contribution share about 20.9% (27,952 of 133,955); donor share about 16.7% (717 of 4,306). Seven hundred seventeen California donors are about 16.7% of 4,306 national donors; 27,952 contributions are about 20.9% of 133,955 national rows; dollars are about 18.3% of $17,977,652.

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

717 California donors produced 27,952 contributions, about 39.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 31.1 rows per donor nationally (133,955 contributions from 4,306 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this California cell is about $118, against about $134 nationwide. California’s about 20.9% contribution share from 717 people is a high-repeat slice of a contribution-heavy occupation (133,955 national rows).

PROJECT MANAGER as a workplace title

PROJECT MANAGER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a PMP credential, a delivery method, or a California employer. Two words on the form are the filter. The $17,977,652 national total is PROJECT MANAGER only. 4,306 donors produced 133,955 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 133,955 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to California (CA). One hundred thirty-three thousand nine hundred fifty-five national contributions make PROJECT MANAGER a high-frequency bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CA.

California on the state side

717 California donors produced 27,952 contributions totaling $3,284,789. 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 project, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,284,789.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only PROJECT MANAGER. The Project Manager occupation hub without California still holds about 81.7% of the $17,977,652. California’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CA. PROJECT MANAGER is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not count PMI certificate holders, merge PROGRAM MANAGER dollars, or claim that Project Manager-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. PROJECT MANAGER is not PROGRAM MANAGER and not PRODUCT MANAGER even when filers meant adjacent titles. Programmer in California is a different occupation-state pair.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. PROJECT MANAGER is not a PMI certification extract. Donor state CA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Credential numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Project Manager filter

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national PROJECT MANAGER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded PROJECT MANAGER in every other state combined. That remainder ($14,692,863) 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 717 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 27,952 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,284,789 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 PROJECT MANAGER national total, drops a key. Seven hundred seventeen donors producing 27,952 contributions totaling $3,284,789 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
