Teacher political contributions from Illinois

Teacher and Illinois as a high-row occupation-state cell

Occupation TEACHER and donor state IL produce $3,429,047, 32,034 contributions, and 757 donors. The occupation hub is $92,518,340, 831,593 contributions, and 18,758 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (3.7%, 3.9%, 4.0%). Illinois tracks the national Teacher mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Illinois Teacher shares sit in a tight cluster near four percent of a contribution-heavy national title.

Teacher is a one-word classroom title as typed, not a certification recode. Nearby strings — EDUCATOR, SCHOOL TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and INSTRUCTOR — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $3,429,047 or $92,518,340. TEACHER as a national label is row-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized lines across many donors.

757 Illinois donors produced 32,034 contributions, about 42.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 44.3 rows per donor nationally (831,593 contributions from 18,758 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Illinois cell are about $4,530, versus about $4,932 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

TEACHER as a filer-typed classroom string

TEACHER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an Illinois teaching certificate or a district contract. The national grouping is 18,758 donors, 831,593 contributions, and $92,518,340.

831,593 contributions from 18,758 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Illinois’s 32,034 contributions from 757 donors is the IL-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 Illinois.

Seven hundred fifty-seven Illinois Teacher donors

757 Illinois donors produced 32,034 contributions totaling $3,429,047. Donor state IL is the address on the record, not proof of a Illinois professional license, and not a limit to Illinois candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Illinois campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to IL. This join is only TEACHER. Subtract $3,429,047 from $92,518,340 and $89,089,293 remains coded Teacher in every other state combined (799,559 contributions, 18,001 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

This page does not measure teacher output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Teacher-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an ISBE certificate extract, not an IEA membership roll, and not a district payroll.

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 IL is not recipient geography.

Education titles 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 $3,429,047, 32,034 contributions, and 757 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Illinois dollars, or only the Teacher national total, drops a key.

Teacher donations holds the $92,518,340 national occupation total. Illinois 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. EDUCATOR, SCHOOL TEACHER, PROFESSOR, 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. TEACHER as a national label is row-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized lines across many donors.
