Teacher political contributions from Texas

Teacher and Texas as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation TEACHER and donor state TX produce $4,157,190, 52,341 contributions, and 1,061 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 (4.5%, 6.3%, 5.7%). Texas tracks the national Teacher mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. Texas Teacher is a small slice of one of the highest-volume occupation buckets in this harvest.

Teacher is a one-word education title as typed. Nearby strings — EDUCATOR, PROFESSOR, INSTRUCTOR, and TEACHER AIDE — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,157,190 or $92,518,340. TEACHER as a national label is contribution-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized rows across many donors.

One thousand sixty-one Texas donors produced 52,341 contributions, about 49.3 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 Texas cell are about $3,918, 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 national occupation grouping

TEACHER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Texas 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. Texas’s 52,341 contributions from 1,061 donors is the TX-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 Texas.

Texas on the state side

One thousand sixty-one Texas donors produced 52,341 contributions totaling $4,157,190. Donor state TX is the address on the record, not proof of a Texas professional license, and not a limit to Texas candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The Texas campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to TX. This join is only TEACHER. Subtract $4,157,190 from $92,518,340 and $88,361,150 remains coded Teacher in every other state combined (779,252 contributions, 17,697 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the Teacher–Texas join is not

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 a TEA certificate extract, not an NEA membership roll, and not a campus headcount.

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 TX is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one Teacher filter

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 $4,157,190, 52,341 contributions, and 1,061 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Texas dollars, or only the Teacher national total, drops a key.

Teacher donations holds the $92,518,340 national occupation total. Texas 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. Nearby occupation strings remain separate keys.

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 contribution-heavy: hundreds of thousands of itemized rows across many donors.
