VP political contributions from Maryland

Reading VP in Maryland as a relationship page

VP filers in Maryland reported $1,113,453. The same occupation string nationwide is $29,934,385. Subtract and other states hold $28,820,932. Divide and Maryland is 3.7% of the occupation. Count and the files are 4,666 contributions and 157 donors. That is the entire numeric claim set.

The page exists because two tables meet. The occupation table answers how large VP is across states. The state table answers how Maryland looks across occupations. This tie answers only how VP looked inside Maryland. Mean about $239 per gift uses $1,113,453 and 4,666 only.

Do not add $1,113,453 to USAspending obligations. Campaign receipts and federal awards are different datasets. Vice President, EVP, SVP, and Vice-President remain other occupation keys. Source: FEC.gov.

Occupation hub versus this Maryland cell

VP’s all-state total of $29,934,385 is the occupation slice. The Maryland cell is $1,113,453. 3.7% names the cell as a share of the occupation. $28,820,932 names the complement inside the same string. VP is the occupation of the donor as typed, not a claim about a professional association.

Use the occupation hub when the state does not matter. Use this tie when both VP and Maryland matter. VP is the two-letter abbreviation. Vice President spelled out is a different occupation key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Do not fold sibling titles into VP. Each occupation string is its own key.

Reading Maryland without treating it as a license state

License boards, bar associations, and medical boards in Maryland do not feed this table. 157 is a donor-key count inside an FEC aggregate. Most people who use a similar job title in Maryland never appear in $1,113,453. The join is disclosure, not a professional census.

How 4,666 lines and 157 keys sit together

What the state side includes: itemized individual receipts tagged occupation VP and donor state MD, summing to $1,113,453 across 4,666 contributions and 157 donors. What it excludes: other states for VP, other occupations for Maryland, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts.

Mean about $239 should be quoted with both inputs. VP is the two-letter abbreviation. Vice President spelled out is a different occupation key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Professional-association PACs file as committees; mixing PAC spending with $1,113,453 would blend FEC tables.

Using the four internal links without mixing statutes

Cite $1,113,453 as VP in Maryland. Cite $29,934,385 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add a professional association’s own committee filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $1,113,453 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s state cell rather than rescale 3.7%.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state. This join does not recode VP into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string.

Three numbers, two fields, one VP filter

Subtract the Maryland 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 ($28,820,932) 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 157 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 4,666 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,113,453 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation VP, donor state Maryland (MD), $1,113,453 itemized, 4,666 contributions, 157 donors, 3.7% of $29,934,385. VP is the two-letter abbreviation. Vice President spelled out is a different occupation key if stored separately. Rank is self-typed, not HR-verified. Vice President, EVP, SVP, and Vice-President stay on other occupation pages. The Maryland campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

Questions

How many VP donors are in the Maryland cell?

157 donor keys sum to $1,113,453 on 4,666 contributions. That count is donor keys, not unique licensed workers. The arithmetic mean is about $7,092 per donor and $239 per contribution. Independent expenditures are not included. Named donors are not in these facts and are not invented here.

Is $29,934,385 the amount VP filers gave in Maryland?

No. $29,934,385 is the occupation total across harvested states. VP’s Maryland cell is $1,113,453. Other states hold $28,820,932. Use the occupation hub for the national figure and this tie page for the Maryland slice only. Source: FEC.gov.

Why does this page exist if occupation and state hubs already exist?

Because two tables meet. The occupation hub answers VP across states ($29,934,385). The state hub answers Maryland across occupations. This tie answers only VP inside Maryland: $1,113,453, 4,666 gifts, 157 donors. All FEC ties lists other such pairs.

What is omitted from $1,113,453?

Unitemized gifts, independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers as a separate table, USAspending awards, and receipts whose occupation string was not VP or whose donor state was not MD. Sibling titles such as Vice President, EVP, SVP, and Vice-President are other rows. Source: FEC.gov occupation-state aggregates.
