Scientist political contributions from New Mexico

New Mexico donors who listed their occupation as Scientist reported $688,652 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 3,640 contributions from 107 donors. Nationwide, Scientist-coded receipts total $26,806,625 across 166,337 contributions and 4,567 donors. New Mexico holds 2.6% of Scientist dollars ($688,652 of $26,806,625), 2.2% of contributions (3,640 of 166,337), and 2.3% of donors (107 of 4,567). This page is the FEC.gov occupation-and-state intersection, not a New Mexico lab headcount, not an LANL or Sandia roster, and not an NIH grant file.

Key figures

  • New Mexico Scientist-coded donors account for $688,652, 3,640 contributions, and 107 donors.
  • The national Scientist occupation total is $26,806,625 from 4,567 donors and 166,337 contributions.
  • New Mexico holds 2.6% of those dollars, 2.2% of contributions, and 2.3% of donors.
  • SCIENTIST is a filer-entered string, not a New Mexico lab headcount, not an LANL or Sandia roster, and not an NIH grant file.

Scientist and New Mexico as a science-title join

Occupation SCIENTIST and donor state NM produce $688,652, 3,640 contributions, and 107 donors. The occupation hub is $26,806,625, 166,337 contributions, and 4,567 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (2.6%, 2.2%, 2.3%). New Mexico tracks the national Scientist mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. New Mexico Scientist dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster near two and a half percent on a one-word science stamp.

Scientist is a one-word science stamp as typed, not a Research Scientist recode. Nearby strings — RESEARCH SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, ENGINEER, and RESEARCHER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $688,652 or $26,806,625. RESEARCH SCIENTIST is a longer string with its own hub. A New Mexico address is not proof of a Los Alamos or Albuquerque lab badge.

One hundred Seven New Mexico donors produced 3,640 contributions, about 34.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 36.4 rows per donor nationally (166,337 contributions from 4,567 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this New Mexico cell are about $6,436, versus about $5,870 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

SCIENTIST versus Research Scientist and Physicist

SCIENTIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Ph.D., a lab appointment, or a New Mexico workplace. The national grouping is 4,567 donors, 166,337 contributions, and $26,806,625.

166,337 contributions from 4,567 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. New Mexico’s 3,640 contributions from 107 donors is the NM-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 New Mexico.

One hundred seven New Mexico donors on the contribution record

One hundred Seven New Mexico donors produced 3,640 contributions totaling $688,652. Donor state NM is the address on the record, not proof of a New Mexico professional license, and not a limit to New Mexico candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The New Mexico campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NM. This join is only SCIENTIST. Subtract $688,652 from $26,806,625 and $26,117,973 remains coded Scientist in every other state combined (162,697 contributions, 4,460 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Three shares clustered near two and a half percent

This page does not measure scientist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Scientist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a New Mexico lab headcount, not an LANL or Sandia roster, and not an NIH grant file.

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 NM is not recipient geography.

Science titles that must stay 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 $688,652, 3,640 contributions, and 107 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Mexico dollars, or only the Scientist national total, drops a key.

Scientist donations holds the $26,806,625 national occupation total. New Mexico 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. RESEARCH SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, ENGINEER, 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. RESEARCH SCIENTIST is a longer string with its own hub. A New Mexico address is not proof of a Los Alamos or Albuquerque lab badge.

Questions

How much have Scientist donors in New Mexico given?
FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Scientist and state New Mexico total $688,652, from 3,640 contributions and 107 donors. Nationwide, Scientist-coded receipts are $26,806,625 from 166,337 contributions and 4,567 donors. New Mexico is 2.6% of those dollars.
Are these New Mexico national-lab scientists?
Occupation is SCIENTIST and state is NM. One hundred seven New Mexico donors produced 3,640 contributions. The FEC file does not confirm an LANL, Sandia, or university appointment. Research Scientist and Physicist are other occupation keys. Employer is a different FEC field and is not on this join.
What share of Scientist FEC money is from New Mexico?
2.6% of the $26,806,625 occupation total is in this New Mexico join ($688,652). New Mexico also accounts for 2.2% of contributions (3,640 of 166,337) and 2.3% of donors (107 of 4,567). Those three shares are computed from the packet facts only.
Does this money go to New Mexico candidates?
Not necessarily. Donor state is New Mexico. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $688,652 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.
