VP political contributions from Florida

VP and Florida as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation VP and donor state FL produce $2,074,027, 3,747 contributions, and 284 donors. The occupation hub is $29,934,385, 88,987 contributions, and 4,850 donors. Florida’s dollar share is about 6.9%; contribution share about 4.2% (3,747 of 88,987); donor share about 5.9% (284 of 4,850). Two hundred eighty-four Florida donors are about 5.9% of 4,850 national donors; 3,747 contributions are about 4.2% of 88,987 national rows; dollars are about 6.9% of $29,934,385.

VICE PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, and SVP, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this VP total. Do not stack VP with VICE PRESIDENT or EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT into a single Florida professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

284 Florida donors produced 3,747 contributions, about 13.2 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 Florida cell is about $554, against about $336 nationwide. Florida’s about 6.9% dollar share from 284 people runs ahead of the 4.2% contribution share — a larger-mean slice of a $29,934,385 occupation.

VP as an acronym occupation string

VP is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a corporate officer, a bank rank, or an employer. Two letters on the form are the filter. 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 Florida (FL). Four thousand eight hundred fifty national donors make VP a mid-size occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state FL.

Florida on the VP state side

284 Florida donors produced 3,747 contributions totaling $2,074,027. Donor state FL is the address on the record, not proof of a Florida license, and not a limit to Florida candidates. FL is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a Florida employer, and not a map of which campaigns received the $2,074,027.

The Florida campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to FL. This join is only VP. The VP occupation hub without Florida still holds about 93.1% of the $29,934,385. Florida’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to FL. VP is only this filter.

What the VP–Florida join is not

This page does not count corporate officers, merge vice-president dollars, or claim that VP-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. VP is not VICE PRESIDENT even when filers meant the spelled-out title.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. VP is not a corporate-officer census. Donor state FL 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 Florida 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 ($27,860,358) 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 284 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 3,747 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $2,074,027 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Florida dollars, or only the VP national total, drops a key. Two hundred eighty-four donors producing 3,747 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $2,074,027 headline.

Vp donations holds the $29,934,385 national occupation total. Florida 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. The District of Columbia has a separate VP occupation-state tie; do not add those dollars here.
