What is the Indiana Auto Dealer contribution total?

$311,217 from 335 itemized contributions and 19 donor keys whose occupation grouped to AUTO DEALER and whose state grouped to IN. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $12,020,006. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Auto Dealer occupation receipts is Indiana?

2.6%. That is $311,217 divided by $12,020,006. The complement is $11,708,789 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 3.2% (335 of 10,546).

Do these Indiana donations fund federal spending?

No. $311,217 is FEC itemized individual contributions tagged Auto Dealer and donor state Indiana. USAspending awards are a different dataset. This join does not claim donations funded contracts or grants. Independent expenditures are also outside $311,217. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Donor state is the address on the itemized record.

Auto Dealer and Indiana as overlapping FEC fields

Auto Dealer × Indiana equals $311,217 on FEC.gov. That figure is itemized individual contributions only. 335 lines and 19 donor keys travel with the dollars. $12,020,006 is the same occupation string nationwide. This URL keeps both nouns in the sentence so the cell is not misread as the occupation hub or the Indiana hub.

Where Auto Dealer sits inside Indiana FEC totals

Donor state Indiana (IN) and Auto Dealer (AUTO DEALER) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Auto Dealer and you are citing the Indiana hub across every occupation. Drop Indiana and you are citing an occupation hub that still mixes other states. Keep both and the number is $311,217 from 335 contributions and 19 donors. Indiana’s Auto Dealer cell is the two-word automotive string, distinct from DEALER without Auto; 19 Indiana keys are not an NADA franchise census.

2.6% names $311,217 as a share of $12,020,006. It does not name a share of Indiana statewide receipts, a share of licensed workers, or a share of itemized giving by every nearby title. Those denominators are absent. $11,708,789 is the complement inside the same occupation string, other states only.

Auto Dealer is a filer-entered label

FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses AUTO DEALER. Dealer, Car Dealer, Automobile Dealer, and Auto Dealership Owner are other keys when those characters appear. LobbyVault does not recode the string into a state motor-vehicle dealer-license file, an NADA membership roll, or a franchise census. Cite $311,217 for this title in Indiana on 335 receipts from 19 donors.

The occupation hub still holds $11,708,789 outside Indiana. Most of the $12,020,006 roll is not this state’s cell if 2.6% is a modest slice — or a large slice if the state dominates. Either way, quote the share with both dollars.

17.6 gifts per donor is arithmetic, not turnout

17.6 gifts per donor is 335 divided by 19. That ratio is not a measure of civic engagement and not a turnout figure. It is a line-to-key quotient inside one occupation-state cell. Quote it with both integers.

19 donor keys totaling $311,217 is not a ranking of Indiana against other states. This join has one occupation and one state. Neighboring occ-state pages are other keys.

Do not mix occupation dollars with the state hub

$311,217 sits inside $12,020,006 the way a state cell sits inside an occupation row. Removing Indiana does not make $311,217 equal $12,020,006. Removing other states does not make $12,020,006 equal $311,217. Citations should name the filter that was applied.

335 of 10,546 contribution rows (3.2%) and 19 of 1,377 donors (1.4%) travel with the dollar share. Quote all three when the join is the subject. Means $929 (per gift) and $16,380 (per donor) stay attached to Indiana.

Amended reports and live hubs

Individual reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $311,217 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Auto Dealer hub and the live Indiana hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $311,217, 335, 19, $12,020,006.

AUTO DEALER is the two-word string. DEALER without Auto is a different occupation hub. The FEC file does not verify a franchise or a dealership payroll. Sibling occupation-state pages for other states or other titles are other slugs. Do not reuse $311,217 on those pages.

Donor-state IN caveats for occupation joins

Occupation-state joins inherit address-file quirks: mailing-state codes, amended reports, and itemization thresholds. IN as Indiana is an address label. $311,217 can move after this snapshot. Live hubs control.

What stays fixed in this file is the packet arithmetic: $311,217 of $12,020,006 is 2.6%; 335 lines; 19 keys; about $929 per line; about $16,380 per donor; about 17.6 lines per key. Those identities use only facts in the packet.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Auto Dealer, donor state Indiana (IN), $311,217 itemized, 335 contributions, 19 donors, 2.6% of $12,020,006 from 1,377 national donors. AUTO DEALER is the two-word string. DEALER without Auto is a different occupation hub. The FEC file does not verify a franchise or a dealership payroll. Dealer, Car Dealer, Automobile Dealer, and Auto Dealership Owner stay on other occupation pages. The Indiana campaign finance hub still mixes every other title. All occupations and All FEC ties are indexes, not extra dollar columns.

What a reader may not do with $311,217: treat it as payroll, treat 19 as a workforce census, treat 2.6% as a share of Indiana statewide receipts, or treat the cell as money that funded USAspending awards. What a reader may do: quote the pair, quote the source FEC.gov, and follow the four internal links. Mean about $929 per contribution and $16,380 per donor remain attached to 335 and 19. About 17.6 lines per donor remains 335 divided by 19.
