Secretary political contributions from Georgia

The Secretary–Georgia intersection

Occupation SECRETARY and donor state GA produce $571,188, 249 contributions, and 56 donors. The occupation hub is $10,153,281, 54,230 contributions, and 2,018 donors. Georgia’s dollar share is about 5.6%; contribution share about 0.5% (249 of 54,230); donor share about 2.8% (56 of 2,018). Fifty-six Georgia donors sit inside 2,018 national SECRETARY donors. Dollars ($571,188 of $10,153,281) run well ahead of contribution share (249 of 54,230) on this thin cell.

EXECUTIVE SECRETARY, LEGAL SECRETARY, and OFFICE MANAGER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack SECRETARY with EXECUTIVE SECRETARY or OFFICE MANAGER into a single Georgia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

56 Georgia donors produced 249 contributions, about 4.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 26.9 rows per donor nationally (54,230 contributions from 2,018 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Georgia cell is about $2,294, against about $187 nationwide. Georgia’s $571,188 from 249 rows is a large-mean slice of a high-volume national occupation (54,230 contributions). The word does not mean Secretary of State or a cabinet officer.

SECRETARY as an administrative-title string

SECRETARY is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not say whether the filer meant an office secretary, a corporate secretary, or another use of the word. The $10,153,281 national total is SECRETARY only. 2,018 donors produced 54,230 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 54,230 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Georgia (GA). Fifty-four thousand two hundred thirty national contributions make SECRETARY a high-volume bucket. This tie locates a thin Georgia overlap.

Georgia as donor state

56 Georgia donors produced 249 contributions totaling $571,188. Donor state GA is the address on the record, not proof of a Georgia license, and not a limit to Georgia candidates. GA is the address on the itemized record. Fifty-six unique donors is not a Georgia staffing directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $571,188.

The Georgia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to GA. This join is only SECRETARY. The Secretary occupation hub without Georgia still holds about 94.4% of the $10,153,281. Georgia’s state hub includes every occupation coded to GA. SECRETARY is only this filter.

What not to infer from Secretary plus Georgia

This page does not count administrative staff, treat the title as a cabinet office, or claim that Secretary-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SECRETARY is not OFFICE MANAGER and not a cabinet department. Those are other strings or other datasets.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SECRETARY is not a staffing or corporate-secretary extract. Donor state GA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Secretary filter

Subtract the Georgia dollars on this page from the national SECRETARY occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SECRETARY in every other state combined. That remainder ($9,582,093) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 56 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 249 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $571,188 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Georgia dollars, or only the SECRETARY national total, drops a key. Fifty-six donors producing 249 contributions totaling $571,188 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Secretary donations holds the $10,153,281 national occupation total. Georgia 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. OFFICE MANAGER is a different Georgia occupation tie in this slice.
