Trader political contributions from New Jersey

TRADER plus New Jersey, donor share ahead of dollars

Occupation TRADER and donor state NJ produce $867,619, 708 contributions, and 129 donors. The occupation hub is $11,610,856, 19,193 contributions, and 1,507 donors. New Jersey’s dollar share is about 7.5% ($867,619 of $11,610,856). Its contribution share is about 3.7% (708 of 19,193). Its donor share is about 8.6% (129 of 1,507).

Donor share exceeds dollar share. One hundred twenty-nine New Jersey donors produced a larger slice of unique people than of dollars. Contribution share sits lower (3.7%), which can reflect fewer itemized lines per person than the national occupation mix, or a mix of gift sizes that does not concentrate dollars as hard as some finance cells.

BOND TRADER, EQUITY TRADER, and PORTFOLIO MANAGER are other keys if stored separately. They are not inside $11,610,856 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping. Editor donors in New Jersey is a neighboring occupation join with 56 donors and $1,061,760.

A short finance title without a Series-license check

TRADER is typed on the receipt. FEC.gov does not verify FINRA registration, an exchange badge, or an employer. One thousand five hundred seven national donors used the one-word stamp. People who typed STOCK TRADER or PROP TRADER sit in other occupation totals if those strings are separate slugs.

Nineteen thousand one hundred ninety-three contributions from 1,507 donors nationwide is about 13 itemized gifts per donor. New Jersey’s 708 contributions from 129 donors is about 5 gifts per donor. Repeat itemization is less dense in the New Jersey cell than in the national occupation average.

New Jersey cell averages

Dividing $867,619 by 708 contributions yields about $1,225 per gift. Dividing by 129 donors yields about $6,726 per donor. Nationally, $11,610,856 divided by 19,193 contributions is about $605 per gift. The New Jersey mean gift is higher than the national occupation mean even though gifts-per-donor is lower.

Donor state NJ is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be New Jersey committees. Proximity to New York trading floors is geography people mention; it is not a packet fact and is not used here as a causal claim.

One hundred twenty-nine New Jersey donors produced 708 contributions, about 5 itemized gifts per person, versus about 13 nationally. Frequency is much lower. Mean gift (about $1,225 versus about $605) is higher. Donor share (8.6%) still exceeds dollar share (7.5%) because the unique-person slice is relatively large for the dollars it carries. Contribution share (3.7%) is the thin one.

What 7.5% of Trader dollars is not

New Jersey’s share is a table split. It is not evidence that New Jersey caused trader giving, that traders as a class funded a party, or that campaign receipts measure market volume. Occupation and state travel together on receipts. Causation is not in the join.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. These receipts are not USAspending awards.

Editor donors in New Jersey ($1,061,760, 56 donors) share a donor state. PORTFOLIO MANAGER in Illinois and INVESTMENT ANALYST in Pennsylvania are other finance titles in other states. $867,619 is TRADER × NJ. An exchange badge is not in the packet.

Occupation hub, state hub, other New Jersey titles

Trader donations carries the $11,610,856 national occupation total. New Jersey campaign finance carries all NJ-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep TRADER separate from EDITOR and from other finance occupation-state pages so $867,619 is not folded into a combined markets sector.

The occupation hub still holds $10,743,237 outside New Jersey ($11,610,856 minus $867,619). Use Trader donations for that remainder. New Jersey campaign finance holds every other NJ-coded title. This page holds only the overlap.
