Senator political contributions from Missouri

Senator and Missouri as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation SENATOR and donor state MO produce $246,348, 150 contributions, and 7 donors. The occupation hub is $7,082,198, 2,443 contributions, and 276 donors. Missouri’s dollar share is about 3.5%; contribution share about 6.1% (150 of 2,443); donor share about 2.5% (7 of 276). Seven Missouri donors are about 2.5% of 276 national donors; 150 contributions are about 6.1% of 2,443 national rows; dollars are about 3.5% of $7,082,198.

STATE SENATOR, STATE REPRESENTATIVE, and CONGRESSMAN, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this total. Do not stack SENATOR with STATE SENATOR or CONGRESSMAN into a single Missouri professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

7 Missouri donors produced 150 contributions, about 21.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 8.9 rows per donor nationally (2,443 contributions from 276 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Missouri cell is about $1,642, against about $2,899 nationwide. Missouri’s about 3.5% dollar share from 7 donors is a concentrated slice of a thin occupation (2,443 national contributions).

SENATOR as an office-title string

SENATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not say whether the title was U.S. Senate, a state senate, a former office, or a courtesy use. The $7,082,198 national total is SENATOR only. 276 donors produced 2,443 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 2,443 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Missouri (MO). Two hundred seventy-six national donors make this a small occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MO.

Missouri on the state side

7 Missouri donors produced 150 contributions totaling $246,348. Donor state MO is the address on the record, not proof of a Missouri license, and not a limit to Missouri candidates. MO is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Missouri senate seat, and not a map of which campaigns received the $246,348.

The Missouri campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MO. This join is only SENATOR. The Senator occupation hub without Missouri still holds about 96.5% of the $7,082,198. Missouri’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MO. SENATOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not list sitting senators, merge state-senator strings, or claim that Senator-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. SENATOR is not STATE SENATOR even when a filer meant a state chamber.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. SENATOR is not a legislative roster. Donor state MO is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Chamber names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Senator filter

Subtract the Missouri dollars on this page from the national SENATOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded SENATOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($6,835,850) 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 7 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 150 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $246,348 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Missouri dollars, or only the SENATOR national total, drops a key. Seven donors producing 150 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $246,348 headline.

Related tables

Senator donations holds the $7,082,198 national occupation total. Missouri 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. STATE SENATOR is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
