Frequently Asked Questions

What occupations donate the most in Kansas?

The top political donors by occupation in Kansas typically include retirees, attorneys, executives, and physicians. Across 95 tracked occupations, Kansas residents have contributed $3.6M to federal campaigns.

Does Kansas's occupation mix differ from the national average?

Each state's occupational giving profile reflects its local economy. States with major financial centers see more banker and investor donations, while states with large university systems see more professor and researcher contributions. Compare the Kansas and National Total columns to spot these differences.

How are occupation categories determined?

Donors self-report their occupation on FEC contribution forms. We normalize common variations (e.g., "ATTORNEY" and "LAWYER" are combined) to produce cleaner rankings, though some inconsistency remains due to the self-reported nature of the data.
