Student political contributions from Texas

Student and Texas as a slice of a very large occupation book

Occupation STUDENT and donor state TX together sum to $7,969,722, 10,353 contributions, and 753 donors. The occupation hub is $142,935,090, 226,355 contributions, and 12,200 donors. Texas’s share of dollars is 5.6%; of contributions, 4.6% (10,353 of 226,355); of donors, 6.2% (753 of 12,200).

753 Texas donors produced 10,353 contributions totaling $7,969,722. That is 5.6% of the $142,935,090 Student occupation total. The leftover $134,965,368 is Student-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Texas’s $7,969,722 from 753 Student-coded donors sits inside a $142,935,090 national book. About $134,965,368 remains coded Student in every other state. A large national Student total can include family-funded gifts reported under that occupation string. This page does not split payor from donor name. Quote $7,969,722 with $142,935,090.

STUDENT as a status word used as an occupation

STUDENT is a status word typed as a job. GRADUATE STUDENT, LAW STUDENT, and COLLEGE STUDENT, if used, sit in other hubs. Twelve thousand two hundred donors produced 226,355 contributions totaling $142,935,090 — one of the larger occupation books in this slice.

Texas’s 753 donors are 6.2% of that national donor count, 4.6% of contribution rows, and 5.6% of dollars. The shares cluster in the mid-single-digits. Texas is a slice of Student, not the occupation’s center on this extract.

Seven hundred fifty-three Texas Student donors

753 Texas donors produced 10,353 contributions totaling $7,969,722. Donor state TX is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a Texas workplace, and not a limit to Texas candidates.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only STUDENT. GRADUATE STUDENT, LAW STUDENT, and COLLEGE STUDENT are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the TX state code.

Student donations without Texas still holds the remainder of the $142,935,090 occupation total. A Texas directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Six percent of a $142 million Student book

This page does not measure a Texas enrollment census or a campus voter file, and it does not claim that Student-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

STUDENT fragments against GRADUATE STUDENT, LAW STUDENT, and COLLEGE STUDENT. Those strings, if used, never enter the $142,935,090 or the $7,969,722. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the Texas dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Student variants that remain other hubs

Subtract the Texas dollars on this page from the national Student occupation total and the difference is $134,965,368 still coded Student in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Student donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; Texas campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the Student national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Where the Student–Texas pair is filed

Student donations holds the $142,935,090 national occupation total and the 12,200-donor count. Texas campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to TX. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.

Are these currently enrolled Texas students?

The FEC file does not verify enrollment. Occupation is the string STUDENT and state is TX. The 753 Texas donors produced $7,969,722 across 10,353 contributions. GRADUATE STUDENT, if typed, may sit in another bucket. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov.

Is this money for Texas races only?

No. Donor state is Texas. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $7,969,722 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. The 10,353 contributions and 753 donors are the STUDENT-and-TX overlap only. FEC.gov is the source.
