Researcher political contributions from District of Columbia

Researcher dollars with a District of Columbia address

Occupation RESEARCHER and donor state DC produce $553,591, 2,300 contributions, and 98 donors. The occupation hub is $13,109,440, 65,981 contributions, and 1,808 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 4.2%; contribution share about 3.5% (2,300 of 65,981); donor share about 5.4% (98 of 1,808). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Researcher hub and not a restatement of all District of Columbia occupations.

SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack RESEARCHER with those strings into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

Donor share is about 5.4% (98 of 1,808), contribution share about 3.5% (2,300 of 65,981), and dollar share about 4.2%. Those three ratios need not match. 98 District of Columbia donors produced 2,300 contributions, about 23.5 rows per donor versus 36.5 nationally. Mean gift is about $241 here and about $199 in the RESEARCHER bucket. Unique-donor counts can split one person who filed variants.

RESEARCHER as a generic occupation string

RESEARCHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $13,109,440 national total is RESEARCHER only. 1,808 donors produced 65,981 contributions in that occupation bucket. RESEARCHER is a generic research self-description, not an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. Nearby labels SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 65,981 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). 65,981 national contributions make RESEARCHER a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the District of Columbia overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

DC as donor state, not workplace proof

98 District of Columbia donors produced 2,300 contributions totaling $553,591. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $553,591. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from DC-coded donors.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only RESEARCHER. The Researcher occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 95.8% of the $13,109,440 (remainder $12,555,849). District of Columbia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. RESEARCHER is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

Researcher plus DC is not a lab census

A 4.2% dollar share in District of Columbia does not rank the state as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 98 unique donors as an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. RESEARCHER is not interchangeable with SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR.

Quote $553,591, 2,300 contributions, and 98 donors for Researcher in District of Columbia, against $13,109,440 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Researcher and District of Columbia—whenever the dollars are quoted.

A complete Researcher × DC citation

A complete claim names Researcher and District of Columbia (DC), then $553,591, 2,300 contributions, 98 donors, and 4.2% of $13,109,440, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside District of Columbia: $12,555,849. Mean gift $241 is $553,591 divided by 2,300 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national RESEARCHER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded RESEARCHER in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,555,849) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 98 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Occupation hub, DC hub, and sibling ties

Researcher donations holds the $13,109,440 national occupation total. District of Columbia 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only.

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string RESEARCHER and state is DC. 98 donors are not an NIH, NSF, or university payroll extract. SCIENTIST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Researcher. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

Not as a published split. Donor state is District of Columbia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $553,591 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open District of Columbia campaign finance for every occupation coded to DC; open Researcher donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
