State Senator political contributions from Tennessee

Tennessee donors who listed their occupation as State Senator reported $110,729 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 57 contributions from 12 donors. Nationwide, STATE SENATOR-coded receipts total $9,951,389 across 3,774 contributions and 471 donors. Tennessee holds about 1.1% of those dollars. Twelve Tennessee donors produced 57 contributions totaling $110,729. Dollar share is about 1.1%. This is a second state cell on the same STATE SENATOR hub; Michigan is a different tie. SENATOR without State is another occupation key.

Key figures

  • The national STATE SENATOR occupation total is $9,951,389 from 471 donors and 3,774 contributions.

State Senator and Tennessee as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation STATE SENATOR and donor state TN produce $110,729, 57 contributions, and 12 donors. The occupation hub is $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. Tennessee’s dollar share is about 1.1%; contribution share about 1.5% (57 of 3,774); donor share about 2.5% (12 of 471). Twelve Tennessee donors are about 2.5% of 471 national donors; 57 contributions are about 1.5% of 3,774 national rows; dollars are about 1.1% of $9,951,389.

The Michigan State Senator tie is a different state join. SENATOR and STATE REPRESENTATIVE remain other occupation keys if stored separately. Do not stack STATE SENATOR with SENATOR or the Michigan State Senator tie into a single Tennessee professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

12 Tennessee donors produced 57 contributions, about 4.8 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 Tennessee cell is about $1,943, against about $2,637 nationwide. Tennessee’s 12 donors versus Michigan’s 19 donors are two counts, not a combined chamber total.

The same office title, a different state code

STATE SENATOR is a filer-entered string. STATE SENATOR nationwide is still $9,951,389, 3,774 contributions, and 471 donors. Tennessee is one state cell inside that hub. 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 Tennessee (TN). This page does not recode SENATOR into STATE SENATOR. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Tennessee.

Tennessee on the state side

12 Tennessee donors produced 57 contributions totaling $110,729. Donor state TN is the address on the record, not proof of a Tennessee license, and not a limit to Tennessee candidates. TN is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Tennessee Senate seat, and not a map of which campaigns received the $110,729.

The Tennessee campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TN. This join is only STATE SENATOR. The State Senator occupation hub without Tennessee still holds about 98.9% of the $9,951,389. Tennessee’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to TN. STATE SENATOR is only this filter.

What the Tennessee State Senator join is not

This page does not add Michigan’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. Two state cells on one occupation hub are two joins, not a regional senate total.

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 TN is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Session years are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Tennessee filter

Subtract the Tennessee 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 ($9,840,660) 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 12 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 57 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $110,729 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Tennessee dollars, or only the STATE SENATOR national total, drops a key. Twelve donors producing 57 contributions totaling $110,729 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
