Associate political contributions from Ohio

Associate is one axis; Ohio is the other

An occupation-state page is not a restatement of Associate and not a restatement of Ohio. It is the cell where they meet: $563,860, 3,460 contributions, 91 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state are the source note.

On the occupation side, Associate is the exact string ASSOCIATE. On the state side, OH is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received $563,860. Legal versus sales versus academic associate titles as typed is unpublished.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $14,867,080 is the national Associate bucket. The Ohio hub is every grouping in that state. The join is $563,860. Ohio ASSOCIATE is a generic seniority word. Longer titles that contain associate sit in other occupation rows if those extra words were stored.

Ohio is not the whole Associate story

Associate across all states is $14,867,080. Associate in Ohio is $563,860 — 3.8%. The gap is $14,303,220. Closing that gap would require other state joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the Ohio overlay still sees $563,860 for this string, not $14,867,080. A reader who only opens the occupation hub still needs the state filter to recover $563,860.

What 91 unique donors are not

91 unique donors are not a census of Associate. They are the identities attached to 3,460 itemized rows that summed to $563,860. Mean gift $163; mean per donor $6,196; about 38.0 rows each.

Household reuse of a title string is common on FEC forms. That does not add extra occupations into $563,860; it can inflate donor counts relative to a strict employee roster that this table does not have.

Self-reported fields and missing tables

Missing from this packet: party split, employer list, recipient committees, median gift, and legal versus sales versus academic associate titles as typed. Those omissions are why the page is a join brief rather than a full filing dump.

What remains is enough for a clean citation: Associate × Ohio = $563,860 on 3,460 receipts from 91 donors, 3.8% of $14,867,080. Source: FEC.gov. Ohio ASSOCIATE is a generic seniority word. Longer titles that contain associate sit in other occupation rows if those extra words were stored.

Two filters, one URL

Two filters produced this URL: occupation ASSOCIATE and donor state OH. The product is $563,860. One filter is not enough. That is why Associate donations and Ohio campaign finance remain parent links rather than substitutes.

All FEC ties is the index if the next question is a different occupation-state pair. All occupations is the index if the next question is a neighboring title such as associate attorney, sales associate, research associate, and senior associate.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.

Nearby job titles belong on their own occupation hubs if stored as other strings. A mean gift is dollars divided by itemized lines, not a typical check. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Repeat the join in one line: occupation ASSOCIATE ∩ state OH = $563,860, 3,460 receipts, 91 donors, 3.8% of $14,867,080. Neighbors remain associate attorney, sales associate, research associate, and senior associate. Source remains FEC.gov.

Open /occupations/associate/ (Associate donations) for the occupation hub, /states/OH/ (Ohio campaign finance) for the state hub, /occupations/ (All occupations) for neighboring titles, and /ties/ (All FEC ties) for other occupation-state joins.
