Real Estate Developer political contributions from California

Real Estate Developer and California as paired FEC fields

Occupation REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER and state CA produce $27,522,736, 6,290 contributions, and 589 donors. The occupation without geography is $59,673,284, 31,235 contributions, and 4,000 donors. California’s dollar share is about 46%. Contribution share is about 20% (6,290 of 31,235). Donor share is about 15% (589 of 4,000).

Dollars concentrate in California more than people do: nearly half the money, about one in seven donors. That gap can reflect larger itemized gifts among the 589 California donors relative to the 4,000-person national label. The aggregates do not name those donors or prove a coordinated California development bloc.

Real Estate Developer–California pairs a relatively small donor count with a large dollar share. Five hundred eighty-nine donors are about 15% of 4,000 nationally. Six thousand two hundred ninety contributions are about 20% of 31,235. $27,522,736 is about 46% of $59,673,284. Nearly half the occupation’s labeled money and about one in seven labeled people: that gap is the join. It can reflect larger itemized gifts among the 589 California donors, more dollars per person than the rest of the 4,000, or both. This page does not publish a typical gift. It reports the three California totals and the three national occupation totals. REAL ESTATE without Developer remains a different string. Recipient committees are not in these aggregates.

The national Real Estate Developer occupation

REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER is a more specific string than REAL ESTATE. Filers who wrote only Real Estate sit on a different occupation page. This occupation’s own totals are 4,000 donors, 31,235 contributions, and $59,673,284.

Thirty-one thousand contributions from 4,000 donors indicates repeat itemization. California’s 6,290 contributions from 589 donors is the CA-coded piece, not a permit list or a count of California projects.

California on the donor-state side

The CA filter is $27,522,736 from 6,290 contributions and 589 donors. Donor address is not recipient geography. Real Estate Developer-coded money from California can support committees outside the state.

California campaign finance overall includes Real Estate as well as Real Estate Developer when filers used those different strings. This tie is the Developer label only.

What the 46% share does not mean

A large California share of Real Estate Developer-coded dollars does not show that development policy caused the gifts, and it does not rank California housing markets. Occupation plus state is a descriptive join, not causation.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Hubs for occupation, state, and other ties

Real Estate Developer donations holds the $59,673,284 national total. California campaign finance holds all CA-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-state pages, including Real Estate Developer in Florida as a separate join.

Five hundred eighty-nine California Developer-coded donors are 15% of 4,000. Their 6,290 contributions are 20% of 31,235. Their $27,522,736 is 46% of $59,673,284. Dollar share leads people share by a wide margin in this CA filter.

Developer wording versus the shorter Real Estate string

This join uses REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER only. The $27,522,736, 6,290 contributions, and 589 donors are that string plus CA. The shorter Real Estate occupation is a different page with different national totals. Combining them on this URL would invent an occupation that is not in these facts. Donor state still does not identify the recipient committee.

The Developer occupation hub holds $59,673,284 from 4,000 donors and 31,235 contributions. California campaign finance holds all CA-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties list Developer joins in other states as separate filters. Itemized individual contributions only. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Independent expenditures are out of the $27,522,736.
