Student political contributions from New York

Student and New York as a two-column join

Occupation STUDENT and state NY produce $23,867,928, 27,681 contributions, and 1,501 donors. The occupation across all states is $142,935,090, 226,355 contributions, and 12,200 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 17%. Contribution share is about 12% (27,681 of 226,355). Donor share is about 12% (1,501 of 12,200).

The three shares cluster: New York is a sizable Student-coded slice but not the majority of the national occupation, which also includes a larger California Student join reported on its own page. This New York total should not be added to or subtracted from other states here; each tie is its own filter.

Student–New York is a smaller geography on a very large occupation. One thousand five hundred one donors are about 12% of 12,200. Twenty-seven thousand six hundred eighty-one contributions are about 12% of 226,355. $23,867,928 is about 17% of $142,935,090. People and rows match; dollars run higher. The occupation’s 226,355 contributions from 12,200 donors already show heavy repeat itemization nationwide. New York’s 27,681 from 1,501 is the NY-coded piece of that pattern, not a count of New York students. Other Student-state pages use the same $142,935,090 occupation total and their own state totals. They are not added here. Unitemized receipts never enter $23,867,928. Independent expenditures never enter it either.

The national Student occupation grouping

STUDENT is filer-entered. It is not verified against registrar data. Nationally the label covers 12,200 donors, 226,355 contributions, and $142,935,090. That contribution volume is large relative to donor count, which means many repeat itemized gifts inside the occupation.

New York’s 27,681 contributions from 1,501 donors is the NY-coded piece of that activity. Other student-like strings, if used, would not be in these totals.

New York donor-state receipts

The NY side is $23,867,928 from 27,681 contributions and 1,501 donors. Donor state does not equal recipient state. Student-coded money from New York addresses can support committees anywhere in the FEC system.

New York’s state hub includes every occupation. Teacher, lawyer, and writer New York joins are separate packets.

What this relationship is not

This join does not measure campus turnout, youth PACs, or whether Student-coded money changed an election. Occupation plus state is descriptive. It is not causation, and it is not a ranking of New York against California or Massachusetts Student slices except as separate fact tables.

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

New York Student as one geography on a large occupation

The Student occupation total is $142,935,090 from 226,355 contributions and 12,200 donors. This page keeps the NY rows: $23,867,928, 27,681 contributions, 1,501 donors. Other states’ Student pages are other filters on that occupation total. They are not added to $23,867,928 on this URL, and this page does not rank those geographies.

STUDENT is filer-entered, not an enrollment extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Student donations and New York campaign finance are the parent hubs. All occupations and all FEC ties index other Student-state joins separately. Unitemized receipts and independent expenditures are outside these figures.
