Builder political contributions from Oregon

Builder as occupation, Oregon as the state

Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation BUILDER and donor state OR. Matching rows sum to $302,830, 935 contributions, and 38 donors. BUILDER is the short occupation string as typed. General Contractor and Contractor are other keys when those words appear. The packet does not verify a builder license or a company payroll. The occupation hub is $9,547,759 across 27,510 contributions and 2,046 donors. The Oregon state hub mixes every other occupation that used that state code. Neither hub restates this intersection; this tie page exists because the two dimensions meet.

Oregon’s dollar share is 3.2% ($302,830 of $9,547,759). Contribution share is 3.4% (935 of 27,510). Donor share is 1.9% (38 of 2,046). The remainder, $9,244,929, sits in other states on the occupation hub. Correlation between a job title and a mailing-state code is a reporting overlap, not causation of an election outcome. Itemized individual receipts are the coverage. Unitemized money never appears in $302,830.

The Builder string across every state on file

$9,547,759 is the occupation-side denominator from 27,510 contributions and 2,046 donors. It is not limited to Oregon. General Contractor, Contractor, Home Builder, and Construction are other occupation keys if stored separately. Adding those keys to $9,547,759 would be a researcher-built recode, not this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.

The occupation hub still answers questions this page refuses: every state under BUILDER, not only Oregon. This file stays on the overlap. $9,244,929 remains on the hub as the complement of $302,830. BUILDER is the short occupation string as typed. General Contractor and Contractor are other keys when those words appear. The packet does not verify a builder license or a company payroll. Do not fold those sibling strings into $9,547,759 and then cite the sum as this join.

38 Oregon donors and the gift math

Dividing $302,830 by 935 contributions yields about $324 per gift. Dividing by 38 donors yields about $7,969 per donor. Gifts per donor average about 24.6 (935 ÷ 38). Nationally, 27,510 contributions from 2,046 donors average about $347 per gift and 13.4 gifts per donor. Those ratios describe this string in Oregon, not payroll.

38 is a donor-key count inside the occupation × state aggregate, not a headcount of everyone who held the job in Oregon. Repeat itemization, couples filing separately, and people who used the string on some receipts but not others all move the 38 figure. The Oregon hub still holds every other occupation’s OR receipts beside this cell.

What 3.2% of Builder-coded dollars is not

A 3.2% share of Builder-coded dollars from Oregon does not mean the occupation caused those gifts, and it does not mean people with that title funded a policy outcome. Occupation and donor state are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Independent expenditures, committee-to-committee transfers, and unitemized gifts are out of scope.

Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger. This join does not claim that Oregon donations funded contracts or grants. Quote $302,830 as itemized individual receipts tagged BUILDER and OR, source FEC.gov, and stop there.

How to cite Builder × Oregon

A complete claim names Builder and Oregon, then $302,830, 935 contributions, 38 donors, and 3.2% of $9,547,759, source FEC.gov. Do not convert 38 keys into licensed or employed practitioners. Do not fold independent expenditures or USAspending awards into the cell. Keep both sides of the name—Builder and Oregon—whenever the dollars are quoted. Mean gift $324 and mean per donor $7,969 travel with those counts; they do not travel with a licensing board.

This URL exists because two filters meet. Builder donations rolls every state into one BUILDER running total. Oregon campaign finance rolls every occupation into one OR total. Only the Builder × Oregon overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 935 receipts and $302,830. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-state cells.

Occupation hub, Oregon hub, and sibling keys

The occupation hub still holds $9,244,929 outside Oregon. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the state, not either hub restated. General Contractor, Contractor, Home Builder, and Construction are other occupation keys if stored separately. Those titles are not parents of BUILDER on this page. Gifts per donor in Oregon average about 24.6. That ratio is 935 divided by 38, not a measure of turnout.

A clean footnote names occupation BUILDER, donor state Oregon (OR), $302,830 in itemized individual contributions, 935 receipts, and 38 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $324 per line and $7,969 per donor in the cell. If the live Builder donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 935 as unique workers in the trade.

Questions

How much have Builder donors in Oregon given?

The join records $302,830 in itemized individual contributions for occupation Builder and donor state Oregon, from 935 contributions and 38 donors. The occupation’s national total is $9,547,759, so Oregon is 3.2% of that roll. Figures come from FEC.gov aggregates. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this count every builder who donated from Oregon?

No. The 38 donor keys are people whose itemized receipts grouped to BUILDER and state OR. Filers who used a different title are other occupation rows. FEC.gov does not verify jobs. The cell totals $302,830 on 935 lines. Unitemized gifts never appear in this aggregate.

What share of Builder occupation money is from Oregon?

3.2%: $302,830 of $9,547,759. The remaining $9,244,929 sits in other states on the occupation hub. That share is $302,830 divided by $9,547,759, not a ranking of civic engagement. Other states’ amounts are not in this packet except as that remainder. Donor share is 1.9%.

Does this money go to Oregon candidates?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Oregon (OR). Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $302,830 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open Oregon campaign finance for every occupation coded to OR. Source: FEC.gov.
