Student political contributions from Massachusetts

Student and Massachusetts as a proportional slice

Occupation STUDENT and state MA produce $8,152,324, 13,355 contributions, and 682 donors. The occupation nationwide is $142,935,090, 226,355 contributions, and 12,200 donors. Massachusetts’s dollar share is about 6%. Contribution share is about 6% (13,355 of 226,355). Donor share is about 6% (682 of 12,200).

The three shares match. Unlike California Student (about 33% of dollars) or New York Student (about 17%), Massachusetts is a smaller, even slice of the same $142,935,090 occupation total. Those other states are separate joins. This page keeps $8,152,324 as the Massachusetts filter only.

Student–Massachusetts is an even slice: $8,152,324 of $142,935,090 (about 6%), 13,355 of 226,355 contributions (about 6%), 682 of 12,200 donors (about 6%). People, rows, and dollars match. That proportional pattern is the join, not an enrollment share and not a ranking against other Student-state pages. Those other pages are other filters on $142,935,090. This URL is MA plus STUDENT only. Thirteen thousand three hundred fifty-five contributions from 682 donors is repeat itemization inside the Massachusetts cell, as 226,355 from 12,200 is nationally. Unitemized receipts are outside $8,152,324. Independent expenditures are outside it. The Student hub holds $142,935,090. The Massachusetts hub holds every occupation coded to MA. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Student as a national FEC occupation

STUDENT is filer-entered. It is not verified against registrar data. National counts are 12,200 donors, 226,355 contributions, and $142,935,090. Teacher is a different occupation and is not in these Student totals.

Two hundred twenty-six thousand contributions from 12,200 donors shows heavy repeat itemization. Massachusetts’s 13,355 contributions from 682 donors is the MA-coded piece, not a count of Massachusetts college students.

Massachusetts donor-state receipts

The MA side is $8,152,324 from 13,355 contributions and 682 donors. Donor state is the address on the contribution. Recipients may be committees anywhere; a Massachusetts address does not confine the money to Massachusetts races.

Massachusetts campaign finance overall includes Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. This tie isolates Student. Those C-suite Massachusetts joins use different occupation strings and are not this occupation.

What a 6% share does not mean

Massachusetts holding about 6% of Student-coded dollars does not measure campus turnout, youth PACs, or whether Student-coded money changed an election. Occupation plus state is not causation, and it is not a ranking of university towns.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Hubs and sibling Student-state pages

Student donations holds the $142,935,090 national occupation total. Massachusetts campaign finance holds all MA-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties index California and New York Student joins as separate state filters so the three Student geographies stay on their own URLs.

Six hundred eighty-two Massachusetts Student-coded donors are 6% of 12,200. Their 13,355 contributions are 6% of 226,355. Their $8,152,324 is 6% of $142,935,090. The three shares match.

Massachusetts Student as an even slice of a large occupation

When people, rows, and dollars all sit near 6%, the Massachusetts filter is a proportional piece of $142,935,090 rather than a concentrated outlier. That is 682 of 12,200 donors, 13,355 of 226,355 contributions, and $8,152,324 of $142,935,090. It is not an enrollment share for Massachusetts colleges.

STUDENT is filer-entered. Donor state MA is not recipient geography. Student donations and Massachusetts campaign finance are the parent hubs. All occupations and all FEC ties list Student joins in other states separately and do not rank those geographies here. Unitemized receipts and independent expenditures are outside these figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page is the occupation-and-state join, not a campus enrollment file, and not a ranking against California or New York Student ties except as separate filters. Occupation STUDENT and donor state MA produce the $8,152,324 from 13,355 contributions and 682 donors. Those even-share figures sit inside $142,935,090 from 12,200 donors and 226,355 contributions, not an enrollment file.
