VP political contributions from District of Columbia

VP and District of Columbia as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation VP and donor state DC produce $1,152,560, 1,914 contributions, and 82 donors. The occupation hub is $29,934,385, 88,987 contributions, and 4,850 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 3.9%; contribution share about 2.2% (1,914 of 88,987); donor share about 1.7% (82 of 4,850). Eighty-two District of Columbia donors are about 1.7% of 4,850 national donors; 1,914 contributions are about 2.2% of 88,987 national rows; dollars are about 3.9% of $29,934,385.

VICE PRESIDENT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, and EVP, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this VP total. Do not stack VP with VICE PRESIDENT or SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

82 District of Columbia donors produced 1,914 contributions, about 23.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 18.3 rows per donor nationally (88,987 contributions from 4,850 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this District of Columbia cell is about $602, against about $336 nationwide. The District’s about 3.9% dollar share from 82 people runs ahead of the 1.7% donor share, a larger-mean slice of an abbreviation hub.

VP as an abbreviation-title string

VP is a filer-entered string. The two-letter title on Schedule A is the filter. Spelled-out VICE PRESIDENT is a different hub if filers used those words. The $29,934,385 national total is VP only. 4,850 donors produced 88,987 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 88,987 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). Four thousand eight hundred fifty national donors make this a many-person bucket. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state DC.

District of Columbia on the state side

82 District of Columbia donors produced 1,914 contributions totaling $1,152,560. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a federal or association workplace, and not a map of which campaigns received the $1,152,560.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only VP. The VP occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 96.1% of the $29,934,385. The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. VP is only this filter.

What the join is not

This page does not merge spelled-out vice-president titles, count federal SES ranks, or claim that VP-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. VP is not SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT even when filers meant a similar office.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. VP is not an OPM personnel extract. Donor state DC is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one VP filter

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national VP occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded VP in every other state combined. That remainder ($28,781,825) 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 82 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 1,914 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,152,560 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the District of Columbia dollars, or only the VP national total, drops a key. Eighty-two donors producing 1,914 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,152,560 headline.
