Secretary political contributions from Colorado

Nineteen Colorado donors inside a 2,018-donor occupation

The join keeps occupation SECRETARY and donor state CO. The intersection is $683,874, 408 contributions, and 19 donors. The occupation nationwide is $10,153,281, 54,230 contributions, and 2,018 donors. Colorado holds about 6.7% of Secretary-coded dollars, about 0.75% of Secretary-coded contribution rows, and about 0.94% of Secretary-coded donors.

Less than 1% of the donors and of the contribution rows, but about 6.7% of the dollars: Colorado’s Secretary join is a thin headcount sitting on a thicker dollar slice. The national occupation page, dominated by 54,230 rows, would not surface that. The Colorado state page would not isolate SECRETARY from every other title.

Nineteen Colorado donors and 408 contribution rows produced $683,874 under SECRETARY. The occupation side is $10,153,281, 54,230 contributions, and 2,018 donors. About 6.7% of a $10,153,281 occupation from under 1% of 2,018 donors is the concentration. SECRETARY remains ambiguous as an administrative title and as a corporate officer title. The 54,230 national rows show a high-frequency occupation; Colorado’s 408 rows are a small piece of that frequency and a larger piece of the dollars.

SECRETARY as an ambiguous FEC occupation

Filers type SECRETARY for administrative roles, for corporate secretary, and occasionally as a fragment of Secretary of something. The aggregate does not split those meanings. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT, ADMIN, and CORPORATE SECRETARY, if filed, are other buckets.

Nationally, 2,018 donors produced 54,230 contributions totaling $10,153,281. That is an extremely high-row occupation: tens of thousands of itemized lines across a couple of thousand identities. Colorado’s 408 rows are a small piece of that line volume even while the state’s dollars are a larger piece of the $10,153,281.

Colorado’s dollar-heavy cut

Nineteen Colorado donors produced 408 contributions totaling $683,874. Other Colorado occupation joins—Geologist, Photographer, Sales Manager—use different strings and different facts. Secretary receipts from other states occupy the rest of the national total.

CO is the contributor state. It does not prove the donor works in a Colorado office or that Colorado federal candidates received the $683,874. Recipient geography is not this filter.

Dollars without matching line volume

About 6.7% of dollars and about 0.75% of contribution rows is a large gap. Many of the national Secretary-coded lines are small itemized gifts in other states; Colorado’s 19 donors carry a disproportionate share of the occupation’s dollars as those two aggregates compare. The page does not say the 19 people gave equally and does not compute a typical gift.

A spelling change—SECRETARY/TREASURER, OFFICE SECRETARY—would move rows. The join is only as stable as the two strings.

Nineteen donors on a 54,230-row occupation

Secretary nationwide is $10,153,281 from 2,018 donors and 54,230 contributions. Colorado’s join is $683,874 from 19 donors and 408 contributions—about 6.7% of dollars, about 0.94% of donors, and about 0.75% of rows. Less than one percent of the people and of the lines sit on a mid-single-digit dollar share. That is a concentrated Colorado cut of a high-frequency national title.

SECRETARY can mean administrative work or a corporate officer. The aggregate does not split those meanings. EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT and CORPORATE SECRETARY, if filed, are other pages. The 19 Colorado donors are whoever typed SECRETARY and CO.

Photographer, Geologist, and Sales Manager also use Colorado. They do not belong in $683,874. Itemized individual receipts only. See Secretary donations, Colorado campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

What the match does not mean

This page does not claim Colorado campaigns are funded by secretaries, and it does not rank administrative occupations. Two self-reported columns overlapped. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized contributions and independent expenditures are excluded. See Secretary donations, Colorado campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

Questions

How much have Secretary donors in Colorado given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Secretary and state Colorado total $683,874. That join includes 408 contributions and 19 donors. Nationwide, Secretary-coded receipts are $10,153,281 from 2,018 donors and 54,230 contributions. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Why so few Colorado donors for $683,874?

The state side is 19 donors, 408 contributions, and $683,874. That is about 0.94% of 2,018 national Secretary donors but about 6.7% of $10,153,281. The join is concentrated. Donors are not named and rows are not split by committee.

Does Secretary mean administrative assistants?

Not necessarily. SECRETARY is the string as entered and can include corporate-officer uses. Nationally the label covers 2,018 donors and $10,153,281. This tie only adds the Colorado state filter. The page does not classify job duties.

Is this money for Colorado campaigns?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Colorado. Recipients can be committees anywhere that file with the FEC. This page does not allocate the $683,874 by office Donor state is the address on the itemized individual record, not a map of Colorado races. This join is $683,874 from 19 donors and 408 contributions against $10,153,281 nationwide. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system.
