State Senator political contributions from Iowa

State Senator and Iowa as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation STATE SENATOR and donor state IA produce $90,088, 427 contributions, and 29 donors. The occupation hub is $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. Iowa’s dollar share is about 0.9%; contribution share about 11.3% (427 of 3,774); donor share about 6.2% (29 of 471). Twenty-nine Iowa donors are about 6.2% of 471 national donors; 427 contributions are about 11.3% of 3,774 national rows; dollars are about 0.9% of $9,951,389.

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

29 Iowa donors produced 427 contributions, about 14.7 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 Iowa cell is about $211, against about $2,637 nationwide. Iowa’s about 6.2% donor share and about 11.3% contribution share sit well ahead of the 0.9% dollar share — a high-repeat, lower-mean slice.

STATE SENATOR as an office-title string

STATE SENATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a current Iowa Senate seat, a district, or a party. Two words on the form are the filter. 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 Iowa (IA). Four hundred seventy-one national donors make this a small occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state IA.

Iowa as donor state

29 Iowa donors produced 427 contributions totaling $90,088. Donor state IA is the address on the record, not proof of a Iowa license, and not a limit to Iowa candidates. IA is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Iowa Senate seat, and not a map of which campaigns received the $90,088.

The Iowa campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IA. This join is only STATE SENATOR. The State Senator occupation hub without Iowa still holds about 99.1% of the $9,951,389. Iowa’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to IA. STATE SENATOR is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not list Iowa senators, merge the West Virginia Senator cell, 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 filers meant a legislative office. Senator in West Virginia is a different occupation-state pair in this slice.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. STATE SENATOR is not an Iowa Senate roster. Donor state IA is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Chamber and district are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one State Senator filter

Subtract the Iowa 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 ($9,861,301) 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 29 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 427 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $90,088 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Iowa dollars, or only the STATE SENATOR national total, drops a key. Twenty-nine donors producing 427 contributions totaling $90,088 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

State Senator donations holds the $9,951,389 national occupation total. Iowa 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. Senator in West Virginia uses a different occupation string (SENATOR) and a different state key.
