VP political contributions from California

VP and California as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation VP and donor state CA produce $4,746,161, 10,430 contributions, and 480 donors. The occupation hub is $29,934,385, 88,987 contributions, and 4,850 donors. The three shares are 15.9% of dollars, 11.7% of contributions, and 9.9% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $4,746,161 drops the row and donor keys. California VP dollars sit in the mid-teens with a thinner donor share.

VP is a two-letter officer abbreviation, not a spelled-out recode. Nearby strings — VICE PRESIDENT, SVP, EVP, and AVP — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $4,746,161 or $29,934,385. VP, VICE PRESIDENT, and SVP can split the same people across filings.

Four hundred eighty California donors produced 10,430 contributions, about 21.7 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 18.3 rows per donor nationally (88,987 contributions from 4,850 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this California cell are about $9,888, versus about $6,172 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

VP as a national occupation grouping

VP is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a current vice-president appointment. The national grouping is 4,850 donors, 88,987 contributions, and $29,934,385.

88,987 contributions from 4,850 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. California’s 10,430 contributions from 480 donors is the CA-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 California.

California on the state side

Four hundred eighty California donors produced 10,430 contributions totaling $4,746,161. Donor state CA is the address on the record, not proof of a California professional license, and not a limit to California candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only VP. Subtract $4,746,161 from $29,934,385 and $25,188,224 remains coded VP in every other state combined (78,557 contributions, 4,370 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

What the VP–California join is not

This page does not measure vp output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that VP-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not a corporate officer 10-K list, not a bank-title census, and not a spelled-out Vice President recode.

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 CA is not recipient geography.

Three numbers, two fields, one VP 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 $4,746,161, 10,430 contributions, and 480 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the VP national total, drops a key.

VP donations holds the $29,934,385 national occupation total. California 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. VP, VICE PRESIDENT, and SVP can split the same people across filings.
