Teacher political contributions from New Jersey

Teacher and New Jersey as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation TEACHER and donor state NJ produce $3,306,470, 41,254 contributions, and 740 donors. The occupation hub is $92,518,340, 831,593 contributions, and 18,758 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 3.6%; contribution share about 5.0% (41,254 of 831,593); donor share about 3.9% (740 of 18,758). Seven hundred forty New Jersey donors are about 3.9% of 18,758 national donors; 41,254 contributions are about 5.0% of 831,593 national rows; dollars are about 3.6% of $92,518,340.

EDUCATOR, PROFESSOR, and TEACHER AIDE, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Teacher total. Do not stack TEACHER with EDUCATOR or PROFESSOR into a single New Jersey professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

740 New Jersey donors produced 41,254 contributions, about 55.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 44.3 rows per donor nationally (831,593 contributions from 18,758 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New Jersey cell is about $80, against about $111 nationwide. New Jersey’s about 3.6% dollar share from 41,254 rows is a high-repeat professional slice of an 831,593-row occupation.

TEACHER as a school-title string

TEACHER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a New Jersey teaching certificate, a district payroll, or a grade level. The word on the form is the filter. The $92,518,340 national total is TEACHER only. 18,758 donors produced 831,593 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 831,593 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to New Jersey (NJ). Eighteen thousand seven hundred fifty-eight national donors make TEACHER a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NJ.

New Jersey as the donor-state stamp

740 New Jersey donors produced 41,254 contributions totaling $3,306,470. Donor state NJ is the address on the record, not proof of a New Jersey license, and not a limit to New Jersey candidates. NJ is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New Jersey classroom, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,306,470.

The New Jersey campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NJ. This join is only TEACHER. The Teacher occupation hub without New Jersey still holds about 96.4% of the $92,518,340. New Jersey’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NJ. TEACHER is only this filter.

What the Teacher–New Jersey join is not

This page does not count licensed teachers, merge educator dollars, or claim that Teacher-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. TEACHER is not PROFESSOR even when filers meant a classroom job.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. TEACHER is not a teaching-license extract. Donor state NJ is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. District names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Teacher filter

Subtract the New Jersey dollars on this page from the national TEACHER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded TEACHER in every other state combined. That remainder ($89,211,870) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 740 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 41,254 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,306,470 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New Jersey dollars, or only the TEACHER national total, drops a key. Seven hundred forty donors producing 41,254 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $3,306,470 headline.

Teacher donations holds the $92,518,340 national occupation total. New Jersey 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. Florida has a separate Teacher occupation-state tie in this same slice; do not add those dollars here.
