Research Scientist political contributions from Wisconsin
Wisconsin donors who listed their occupation as Research Scientist reported $130,378 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 3,589 contributions from 14 donors. Nationwide, Research Scientist-coded receipts total $5,295,266 across 37,409 contributions and 802 donors. Wisconsin holds 2.5% of Research Scientist dollars ($130,378 of $5,295,266), 9.6% of contributions (3,589 of 37,409), and 1.7% of donors (14 of 802). This page is the FEC.gov occupation-and-state intersection, not a Wisconsin lab-employment extract, not a named-PI roster, and not a grant census.

Research Scientist and Wisconsin as a high-row science join
Occupation RESEARCH SCIENTIST and donor state WI produce $130,378, 3,589 contributions, and 14 donors. The occupation hub is $5,295,266, 37,409 contributions, and 802 donors. The three shares are 2.5% of dollars, 9.6% of contributions, and 1.7% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $130,378 drops the row and donor keys. Wisconsin Research Scientist contribution share runs far ahead of dollar share on a high-row science title.
Research Scientist is a two-word science title as typed, not a Scientist recode and not a Physicist recode. Nearby strings — SCIENTIST, RESEARCHER, PHYSICIST, and CHEMIST — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $130,378 or $5,295,266. Fourteen Wisconsin donors produced thousands of itemized rows in this cell; that row density is arithmetic, not a lab-output score. Physicist remains a different occupation hub.
Fourteen Wisconsin donors produced 3,589 contributions, about 256.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 46.6 rows per donor nationally (37,409 contributions from 802 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Wisconsin cell are about $9,313, versus about $6,603 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.
RESEARCH SCIENTIST versus Scientist and Physicist
RESEARCH SCIENTIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a doctorate, a lab appointment, or a Wisconsin workplace. The national grouping is 802 donors, 37,409 contributions, and $5,295,266.
37,409 contributions from 802 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Wisconsin’s 3,589 contributions from 14 donors is the WI-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Wisconsin.
Fourteen Wisconsin donors and a dense contribution count
Fourteen Wisconsin donors produced 3,589 contributions totaling $130,378. Donor state WI is the address on the record, not proof of a Wisconsin professional license, and not a limit to Wisconsin candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.
The Wisconsin campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to WI. This join is only RESEARCH SCIENTIST. Subtract $130,378 from $5,295,266 and $5,164,888 remains coded Research Scientist in every other state combined (33,820 contributions, 788 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.
Contribution share far above dollar share on a science title
This page does not measure research scientist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Research Scientist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Wisconsin lab-employment extract, not a named-PI roster, and not a grant census.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state WI is not recipient geography.
Science strings that remain unmerged
A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $130,378, 3,589 contributions, and 14 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Wisconsin dollars, or only the Research Scientist national total, drops a key.
Research Scientist donations holds the $5,295,266 national occupation total. Wisconsin campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. SCIENTIST, RESEARCHER, PHYSICIST, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.
This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. Fourteen Wisconsin donors produced thousands of itemized rows in this cell; that row density is arithmetic, not a lab-output score. Physicist remains a different occupation hub.

Questions
- How much have Research Scientist donors in Wisconsin given?
- FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Research Scientist and state Wisconsin total $130,378, from 3,589 contributions and 14 donors. Nationwide, Research Scientist-coded receipts are $5,295,266 from 37,409 contributions and 802 donors. Wisconsin is 2.5% of those dollars.
- Are these Wisconsin research scientists with lab appointments?
- Occupation is RESEARCH SCIENTIST and state is WI. The FEC file does not confirm a lab title or a degree. Scientist, Researcher, and Physicist are other occupation keys. This Wisconsin join does not recode those shorter strings into RESEARCH SCIENTIST. Physicist has a separate Alabama cell in this slice.
- What share of Research Scientist FEC money is from Wisconsin?
- 2.5% of the $5,295,266 occupation total is in this Wisconsin join ($130,378). Wisconsin also accounts for 9.6% of contributions (3,589 of 37,409) and 1.7% of donors (14 of 802). Those three shares are computed from the packet facts only.
- Does this money go to Wisconsin candidates?
- Not necessarily. Donor state is Wisconsin. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $130,378 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions; occupation labels are filer-entered.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
