State Senator political contributions from Michigan

State Senator and Michigan as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation STATE SENATOR and donor state MI produce $121,343, 111 contributions, and 19 donors. The occupation hub is $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. Michigan’s dollar share is about 1.2%; contribution share about 2.9% (111 of 3,774); donor share about 4.0% (19 of 471). Nineteen Michigan donors are about 4.0% of 471 national donors; 111 contributions are about 2.9% of 3,774 national rows; dollars are about 1.2% of $9,951,389.

SENATOR and STATE REPRESENTATIVE, if used, sit in other hubs. The Tennessee State Senator tie is another state filter; do not add those dollars to Michigan. Do not stack STATE SENATOR with SENATOR or the Tennessee State Senator tie into a single Michigan professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

19 Michigan donors produced 111 contributions, about 5.8 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 Michigan cell is about $1,093, against about $2,637 nationwide. Michigan’s about 1.2% dollar share from 19 people is a small slice of a $9,951,389 occupation hub.

STATE SENATOR as an office-title string

STATE SENATOR is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a current chamber seat, a district, or a party caucus. 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 Michigan (MI). Four hundred seventy-one national donors make this a modest occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state MI.

Michigan on the state side

19 Michigan donors produced 111 contributions totaling $121,343. Donor state MI is the address on the record, not proof of a Michigan license, and not a limit to Michigan candidates. MI is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Michigan Senate seat, and not a map of which campaigns received the $121,343.

The Michigan campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MI. This join is only STATE SENATOR. The State Senator occupation hub without Michigan still holds about 98.8% of the $9,951,389. Michigan’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to MI. STATE SENATOR is only this filter.

What the Michigan State Senator join is not

This page does not add Tennessee’s State Senator dollars, verify chamber membership, 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 federal office.

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

Three numbers, two fields, one Michigan filter

Subtract the Michigan 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 ($9,830,046) 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 19 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 111 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $121,343 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Michigan dollars, or only the STATE SENATOR national total, drops a key. Nineteen donors producing 111 contributions totaling $121,343 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

State Senator donations holds the $9,951,389 national occupation total. Michigan 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. The Tennessee State Senator tie is a different state join on the same occupation hub.
