Senator political contributions from the District of Columbia

SENATOR and DC as a concentrated join

Matching occupation SENATOR to contributor state DC yields $5,627,650. That is about 79% of $7,082,198 nationally. DC’s 58 contributions are about 2% of 2,443. Its 13 donors are about 5% of 276. Almost four-fifths of the money under this exact string is coded to the District, while almost all of the people and receipts are not. The join exists to show that split.

Average itemized gift in the DC slice is about $97,028 ($5,627,650 / 58). Average dollars per DC donor is higher still because 13 people account for $5,627,650. Those averages describe this filter. They are not typical gifts for everyone who has ever held a senate seat, and they are not proof the donors currently serve in the U.S. Senate or a state senate.

The SENATOR occupation nationwide

Two hundred seventy-six donors used SENATOR on itemized receipts totaling $7,082,198 across 2,443 gifts. The label is uncommon compared with lawyer or teacher. State senator is a different occupation string and is not included here. Neither is a chamber-specific title with a state name attached.

Outside DC, the remainder is $7,082,198 minus $5,627,650. That remainder is spread across 276 minus 13 donors and 2,443 minus 58 receipts. Most people who typed SENATOR are not in this DC cell; most of the dollars are.

Thirteen District donors

Thirteen unique DC donors produced 58 SENATOR-tagged contributions totaling $5,627,650. Repeat itemization exists but the dollar mass is carried by large receipts. The District of Columbia campaign-finance page shows every occupation attributed to DC; SENATOR is a small-headcount line that can still be a large dollar line.

A U.S. senator’s home-state address would place that person in another state’s join, not this one, unless the receipt lists DC. Conversely, a DC address plus the word SENATOR is enough for the $5,627,650. The FEC does not reconcile occupation with the Congressional Directory.

Home-state senators who file a home-state address are in other joins. DC-addressed filers using SENATOR are here. That split is why a capital-city dollar share can be 79% while 263 of 276 donors are still coded elsewhere. Read donor count and dollars in the same breath.

What the word SENATOR does not mean here

This page is not a list of sitting senators, not a map of leadership PACs, and not a claim that Senate office caused the gifts. Occupation is filer-entered. Courtesy titles, former office, and data-entry choices all land in the same bucket. Recipient committees are outside the join.

A rare title, a District address, large receipts

DC SENATOR at $5,627,650 from 13 donors and 58 gifts is about 79% of $7,082,198 nationally. STATE SENATOR is a different occupation (Ohio’s join is the concentrated cell of that other string). Mixing SENATOR and STATE SENATOR would hide both concentration patterns inside a homemade legislative total. This page keeps SENATOR only: 276 donors nationwide, 13 of them in DC as keyed.

Average itemized gift about $97,028 is an arithmetic mean of 58 receipts. It is not a salary, not a leadership-PAC typical gift, and not proof of current Senate service. Courtesy titles and former office land in the same bucket. The FEC does not reconcile occupation with the Congressional Directory.

Thirteen DC donors and 58 gifts totaling $5,627,650 dominate a 276-donor occupation. The remaining 263 donors and 2,385 gifts (2,443 minus 58) hold $7,082,198 minus $5,627,650. Any description of SENATOR as a DC title that skips those remainders is incomplete. STATE SENATOR stays on its own occupation page, including the Ohio join, and is not a sibling total to add here.

Questions

How much did DC Senator donors contribute in FEC filings?

Donors listing occupation SENATOR with a District of Columbia address reported $5,627,650 in itemized individual contributions, from 13 donors and 58 receipts. That is about 79% of the occupation’s national $7,082,198. The join is not a roster of sitting U.S. senators or a total of Senate office accounts.

Are these sitting members of the U.S. Senate?

The FEC does not certify occupation against a membership roll. SENATOR is a filer-entered string. The 13 DC donors may include current members, former members, staff using a shorthand, or unrelated uses of the word. Treat the $5,627,650 as labeled receipts, not an official Senate list.

Why is DC’s dollar share so much larger than its donor share?

DC has $5,627,650 of $7,082,198 (about 79%) from 13 of 276 donors and 58 of 2,443 contributions. Average itemized gift in the join is about $97,028. A handful of large DC receipts dominate a rare occupation label. Most donors using SENATOR are still coded in other states.

Is state senator included in these totals?

No. STATE SENATOR is a separate occupation page. This join uses SENATOR only: $7,082,198 nationally from 276 donors and $5,627,650 in DC from 13 donors. Mixing the two strings would combine different donor counts and different state patterns.
