Dollars concentrate in New York somewhat more than contribution counts do. Writer joins in other states are different filters against the same $80,210,868 occupation total. Those states are not added together on this page.
Writer–New York holds about a quarter of Writer-coded dollars and a smaller share of Writer-coded rows: $19,468,361 of $80,210,868, 53,468 of 312,329 contributions, 1,570 of 8,768 donors. About 18% of people, about 17% of rows, about 24% of dollars. Fifty-three thousand contributions from 1,570 donors is repeat itemization, as is the national 312,329 from 8,768. AUTHOR is a different occupation string; this page’s 1,570 donors used Writer. Mixing the two New York creative-title joins would invent a combined total. Donor state NY does not confine $19,468,361 to New York races. The Writer hub holds $80,210,868. The New York hub holds every occupation coded to NY. Independent expenditures are excluded from both.
Writer as a national FEC occupation
WRITER is the string filers entered. AUTHOR is a separate occupation page when filers used that word. This Writer bucket is 8,768 donors, 312,329 contributions, and $80,210,868. Mixing Writer and Author would invent a combined creative-occupations total.
Three hundred twelve thousand contributions from 8,768 donors means heavy repeat itemization nationwide. New York’s 53,468 contributions from 1,570 donors is the NY-coded piece, not a count of New York bylines or union cards.
New York donor-state volume
The NY side is $19,468,361 from 53,468 contributions and 1,570 donors. Donor address is not recipient geography. Writer-coded money from New York can support committees in any state.
New York campaign finance overall includes Author, Teacher, and Lawyer when those strings appear. This tie isolates Writer.
What the join does not establish
A New York share of Writer-coded dollars does not show that publishing or media caused electoral outcomes. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping relationship, not causation, and not a cultural ranking of cities.

Pages that separate the two dimensions
Writer donations holds the $80,210,868 national occupation total. New York campaign finance holds all NY-coded itemized individual receipts. All occupations and all FEC ties collect the California Writer join and other occupation-state pairs without merging their contribution counts here.
One thousand five hundred seventy New York Writer-coded donors are 18% of 8,768. Their 53,468 contributions are 17% of 312,329. Their $19,468,361 is 24% of $80,210,868. Dollars lead rows in this NY filter.
Writer New York versus Author as a different string
WRITER produced $19,468,361 from 1,570 New York donors and 53,468 contributions. AUTHOR is a different occupation with its own national total and, if present, its own New York tie. This page does not merge those strings. Contribution volume (53,468) is still not a headcount; donor count (1,570) is the people side.
The Writer occupation hub holds $80,210,868 from 8,768 donors and 312,329 contributions. New York campaign finance holds every occupation coded to NY. All occupations and all FEC ties keep Writer joins in other states on other URLs. Itemized individual contributions only. Independent expenditures are out. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This page is the occupation-and-state join, not a publishers’ directory, and not a ranking of New York against California Writer receipts except as a separate California tie with its own facts. Occupation WRITER and donor state NY are the only two filters on this page. The $19,468,361, 53,468 contributions, and 1,570 donors are that intersection, not a publishers’ directory and not a merge with Author.
