Scientist political contributions from California

Scientist and California as a quarter of the occupation book

Occupation SCIENTIST and donor state CA together sum to $7,046,207, 40,948 contributions, and 1,118 donors. The occupation hub is $26,806,625, 166,337 contributions, and 4,567 donors. California’s share of dollars is 26.3%; of contributions, 24.6% (40,948 of 166,337); of donors, 24.5% (1,118 of 4,567).

1,118 California donors produced 40,948 contributions totaling $7,046,207. That is 26.3% of the $26,806,625 Scientist occupation total. The leftover $19,760,418 is Scientist-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California Scientist-coded donors produced 40,948 itemized rows totaling $7,046,207, about 37 rows per donor versus about 36 nationally. The leftover $19,760,418 is SCIENTIST in every other state. Do not add discipline-specific California cells to this figure.

SCIENTIST as a generic research title

SCIENTIST is a generic research word. RESEARCH SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, and CHEMIST, if typed, sit in other hubs. Four thousand five hundred sixty-seven donors produced 166,337 contributions totaling $26,806,625 — a contribution-heavy label.

California’s 40,948 contributions are 24.6% of national Scientist rows; 1,118 donors are 24.5%; dollars are 26.3%. Row share sits above dollar share. Repeat itemization in the California cell explains that gap; it is not a ranking of research output.

One thousand one hundred eighteen California Scientist donors

1,118 California donors produced 40,948 contributions totaling $7,046,207. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only SCIENTIST. RESEARCH SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, and CHEMIST are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Scientist donations without California still holds the remainder of the $26,806,625 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Twenty-six percent of dollars on a high-row research label

This page does not measure an NSF researcher census or a California lab-employment survey, and it does not claim that Scientist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

SCIENTIST fragments against RESEARCH SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, and CHEMIST. Those strings, if used, never enter the $26,806,625 or the $7,046,207. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Discipline titles that stay unmerged

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Scientist occupation total and the difference is $19,760,418 still coded Scientist in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Scientist donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

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 all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Scientist national total, drops a key.

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.

Hubs for Scientist and California

Scientist donations holds the $26,806,625 national occupation total and the 4,567-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Questions

How much have Scientist donors in California contributed?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Scientist and state California total $7,046,207, from 40,948 contributions and 1,118 donors. Nationwide, Scientist-coded receipts are $26,806,625 from 166,337 contributions and 4,567 donors. California is 26.3% of those dollars. Source: FEC.gov.

Does Scientist include physicists and chemists in California?

Only if they typed SCIENTIST. PHYSICIST, CHEMIST, and RESEARCH SCIENTIST are other strings if filers used them. This join’s 1,118 California donors and $7,046,207 are the SCIENTIST-and-CA overlap. The FEC file is not an NSF researcher census. Labels are filer-entered.

What share of Scientist FEC money is from California?

California holds 26.3% of the $26,806,625 occupation total ($7,046,207). California also accounts for 24.6% of contributions (40,948 of 166,337) and 24.5% of donors (1,118 of 4,567). SCIENTIST is a filer-entered string. Unitemized gifts are omitted.

Is this money for California races only?

No. Donor state is California. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $7,046,207 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 40,948 contributions and 1,118 donors are the SCIENTIST-and-CA overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
