Teacher contributions to NYSUT VOTE/COPE

The occupation–committee join

Rows that match both Teacher and C00021121 sum to $3,257,221. The cell holds 11,004 itemized contributions. The total is not an official organization disbursement from Teacher as an employer and does not name individual donors.

Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables. Unitemized gifts never appear in $3,257,221.

Teacher is self-reported education occupation. The FEC does not verify licenses. Open Teacher for other committees and VOICE OF TEACHERS FOR EDUC/CMTE ON POL EDUC OF NY STATE UNTD TEACHERS (VOTE/COPE) OF NYSUT for other occupations.

What $92,518,340 includes and excludes

$92,518,340 is every itemized individual contribution grouped to TEACHER, not revenue and not a professional-association budget. $3,257,221 over $92,518,340 is 3.5%. $89,261,119 is other committees.

Self-reported occupation text splits. TEACHER is the key used here. Recoding Educator, professor, and teacher/retired into this total would change both the numerator and the denominator.

What $3,257,221 is on the committee side

$3,257,221 is itemized individual receipts from occupation TEACHER to C00021121. It is not VOICE OF TEACHERS FOR EDUC/CMTE ON POL EDUC OF NY STATE UNTD TEACHERS (VOTE/COPE) OF NYSUT’s total fundraising. It is not Teacher’s total giving. It is the overlap.

Mean $296 uses 11,004 as the divisor. Unique donors are unpublished, so a per-person mean is not authorized.

Correlation is not causation

A shared occupation word and a shared committee ID are not a causal chain. $3,257,221 is the itemized-individual overlap. It is not proof that people listed as Teacher directed NYSUT VOTE/COPE, and it is not proof that the gifts bought federal contracts.

All FEC ties collects other joins. Live overlay numbers win if they disagree with this snapshot. FEC.gov remains the originating public record.

C00021121 received $3,257,221 from this occupation key. That is not the committee’s total from all occupations. Other titles on C00021121 sit outside the join.

3.5% is NYSUT VOTE/COPE’s share of Teacher itemized dollars, not the share of people with that title who give to NYSUT VOTE/COPE, and not a partisan score for a trade.

Occupation hub and committee overlay

The Teacher hub holds other committees on the same string. The VOICE OF TEACHERS FOR EDUC/CMTE ON POL EDUC OF NY STATE UNTD TEACHERS (VOTE/COPE) OF NYSUT overlay holds other occupation keys on the same committee. All FEC ties lists sibling joins. This prose is a packet snapshot. Federal awards that share a name with these gifts remain a different dataset.

All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Original filings remain at FEC.gov.

The occupation string TEACHER is filer-entered. FEC.gov does not recode it into a license class. Neighboring titles remain other occupation hubs.

Committee C00021121 is the recipient key. Other committees that received the same occupation string sit in the remainder $89,261,119, not on this dollar line.

11,004 is a contribution count, not a unique-donor count. Unique donors are unpublished in this packet and are not invented here.

Unitemized gifts never enter $3,257,221. Independent expenditures and USAspending awards are outside the source note.
