Auto Dealer and Ohio as a high-row franchise-title join
Occupation AUTO DEALER and donor state OH produce $417,762, 1,276 contributions, and 51 donors. The occupation hub is $12,020,006, 10,546 contributions, and 1,377 donors. The three shares are 3.5% of dollars, 12.1% of contributions, and 3.7% of donors. Keep all three; quoting only $417,762 drops the row and donor keys. Ohio Auto Dealer contribution rows outrun the dollar share on a franchise-title occupation.
Auto Dealer is a two-word dealer title as typed, not a one-word DEALER recode. Nearby strings — DEALER, CAR DEALER, AUTOMOBILE DEALER, and DEALERSHIP OWNER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $417,762 or $12,020,006. DEALER without AUTO is a separate occupation hub; stacking those Ohio cells would invent a combined total.
Fifty-one Ohio donors produced 1,276 contributions, about 25.0 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 7.7 rows per donor nationally (10,546 contributions from 1,377 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this Ohio cell are about $8,191, versus about $8,729 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.
AUTO DEALER versus the shorter DEALER stamp
AUTO DEALER is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify an Ohio motor-vehicle dealer license or a franchise agreement. The national grouping is 1,377 donors, 10,546 contributions, and $12,020,006.
Ten thousand Five hundred Forty-six contributions from 1,377 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. Ohio’s 1,276 contributions from 51 donors is the OH-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio.
Fifty-one Ohio donors on the contribution record
Fifty-one Ohio donors produced 1,276 contributions totaling $417,762. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio professional license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.
The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only AUTO DEALER. Subtract $417,762 from $12,020,006 and $11,602,244 remains coded Auto Dealer in every other state combined (9,270 contributions, 1,326 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.
Row share without matching dollar share
This page does not measure auto dealer output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Auto Dealer-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an Ohio BMV dealer-license extract, not an NADA membership roll, and not a franchise census.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state OH is not recipient geography.
Dealer strings that stay on their own hubs
A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $417,762, 1,276 contributions, and 51 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the Auto Dealer national total, drops a key.
Auto Dealer donations holds the $12,020,006 national occupation total. Ohio campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. DEALER, CAR DEALER, AUTOMOBILE DEALER, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.
This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. DEALER without AUTO is a separate occupation hub; stacking those Ohio cells would invent a combined total.
