Student political contributions from Virginia

Student and Virginia as a status-stamp join

Occupation STUDENT and donor state VA produce $2,472,107, 5,693 contributions, and 336 donors. The occupation hub is $142,935,090, 226,355 contributions, and 12,200 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (1.7%, 2.5%, 2.8%). Virginia tracks the national Student mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Virginia Student donor share sits above dollar share on a one-word status stamp.

Student is a one-word status stamp as typed, not a Graduate Student recode. Nearby strings — GRADUATE STUDENT, COLLEGE STUDENT, LAW STUDENT, and STUDENT INTERN — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $2,472,107 or $142,935,090. New Jersey Student in this slice is a different state filter on the same STUDENT string; do not add the two state totals on this Virginia page. Real Estate in Virginia is a different occupation.

Three hundred thirty-six Virginia donors produced 5,693 contributions, about 16.9 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 18.6 rows per donor nationally (226,355 contributions from 12,200 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Virginia cell are about $7,357, versus about $11,716 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

STUDENT versus Graduate Student on the Virginia key

STUDENT is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify enrollment, a named campus, or a Virginia residency for schooling. The national grouping is 12,200 donors, 226,355 contributions, and $142,935,090.

226,355 contributions from 12,200 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Virginia’s 5,693 contributions from 336 donors is the VA-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Virginia.

Three hundred thirty-six Virginia donors on the student key

Three hundred thirty-six Virginia donors produced 5,693 contributions totaling $2,472,107. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia professional license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. This join is only STUDENT. Subtract $2,472,107 from $142,935,090 and $140,462,983 remains coded Student in every other state combined (220,662 contributions, 11,864 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Donor share above dollar share on a Virginia status stamp

This page does not measure student output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Student-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a Virginia campus-enrollment extract, not a named-school roster, and not a financial-aid census.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state VA is not recipient geography.

Virginia student strings that stay unmerged

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 $2,472,107, 5,693 contributions, and 336 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Virginia dollars, or only the Student national total, drops a key.

Student donations holds the $142,935,090 national occupation total. Virginia 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. GRADUATE STUDENT, COLLEGE STUDENT, LAW STUDENT, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

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. New Jersey Student in this slice is a different state filter on the same STUDENT string; do not add the two state totals on this Virginia page. Real Estate in Virginia is a different occupation.
