State Senator political contributions from Connecticut

State Senator and Connecticut as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation STATE SENATOR and donor state CT produce $142,300, 204 contributions, and 14 donors. The occupation hub is $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. Connecticut’s dollar share is about 1.4%; contribution share about 5.4% (204 of 3,774); donor share about 3.0% (14 of 471). Fourteen Connecticut donors are about 3.0% of 471 national donors; 204 contributions are about 5.4% of 3,774 national rows; dollars are about 1.4% of $9,951,389.

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

14 Connecticut donors produced 204 contributions, about 14.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 8.0 rows per donor nationally (3,774 contributions from 471 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Connecticut cell is about $698, against about $2,637 nationwide. Connecticut’s about 1.4% dollar share with about 5.4% of contributions is a higher-frequency, smaller-check slice of a thin occupation.

STATE SENATOR as a chamber-title string

STATE SENATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a current seat, a chamber, or a party. Four hundred seventy-one national donors produced 3,774 contributions totaling $9,951,389. The $9,951,389 national total is STATE SENATOR only. 471 donors produced 3,774 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 3,774 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Connecticut (CT). This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state CT. It does not identify which state’s senate the title referred to.

Connecticut on the state side

14 Connecticut donors produced 204 contributions totaling $142,300. Donor state CT is the address on the record, not proof of a Connecticut license, and not a limit to Connecticut candidates. CT is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Connecticut senate seat, and not a map of which campaigns received the $142,300.

The Connecticut campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CT. This join is only STATE SENATOR. The State Senator occupation hub without Connecticut still holds about 98.6% of the $9,951,389. Connecticut’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to CT. STATE SENATOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not list sitting legislators, merge SENATOR dollars, or claim that State Senator-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. STATE SENATOR is not SENATOR even when a filer meant the same person.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. STATE SENATOR is not a General Assembly extract. Donor state CT is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. District numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one State Senator filter

Subtract the Connecticut dollars on this page from the national STATE SENATOR occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded STATE SENATOR in every other state combined. That remainder ($9,809,089) 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 14 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 204 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $142,300 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Connecticut dollars, or only the STATE SENATOR national total, drops a key. Fourteen donors producing 204 contributions totaling $142,300 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. A New Hampshire State Senator tie is a different state join on the same occupation hub.
