Business political contributions from District of Columbia

Business receipts with District of Columbia addresses

Occupation BUSINESS and donor state DC produce $461,033, 330 contributions, and 24 donors. The occupation hub is $18,619,893, 38,349 contributions, and 2,172 donors. District of Columbia’s dollar share is about 2.5%; contribution share about 0.9% (330 of 38,349); donor share about 1.1% (24 of 2,172). This page is the intersection of those two FEC.gov fields, not a restatement of the Business hub and not a restatement of all District of Columbia occupations.

BUSINESS OWNER, BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESSMAN, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack BUSINESS with those strings into a single District of Columbia professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. The FEC file stores the occupation exactly as entered. A longer or shorter variant is a different key.

24 District of Columbia donors produced 330 contributions, about 13.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 17.7 rows per donor nationally (38,349 contributions from 2,172 donors). Mean gift size in the District is the distinctive feature of this cell: 0.9% of national BUSINESS contributions against a 2.5% dollar share. The arithmetic mean gift in this District of Columbia cell is about $1,397, against about $486 nationwide. A high row count can be many small itemized gifts from the same people across cycles.

BUSINESS as a one-word commercial key in D.C.

BUSINESS is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify a license, an employer, or a payroll title. The $18,619,893 national total is BUSINESS only. 2,172 donors produced 38,349 contributions in that occupation bucket. BUSINESS is a one-word commercial self-description, not a NAICS employer code. Nearby labels BUSINESS OWNER, BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESSMAN remain outside this occupation total even when one person has used more than one string.

This page does not split those 38,349 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to District of Columbia (DC). 38,349 national contributions make BUSINESS a published occupation bucket; this tie locates the District of Columbia overlap. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are omitted. Committee identifiers on the itemized line are the recipient keys in the underlying file, but this packet does not publish a recipient breakdown.

DC as the state code on the itemized record

24 District of Columbia donors produced 330 contributions totaling $461,033. Donor state DC is the address on the record, not proof of a District of Columbia license, and not a limit to District of Columbia candidates. DC is the address on the itemized record, not a map of which campaigns received the $461,033. Out-of-state committees can receive itemized gifts from DC-coded donors.

The District of Columbia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to DC. This join is only BUSINESS. The Business occupation hub without District of Columbia still holds about 97.5% of the $18,619,893 (remainder $18,158,860). District of Columbia’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to DC. BUSINESS is only this filter. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.

DUNS and SAM registrations are not in the join

A 2.5% dollar share in the District of Columbia does not rank the jurisdiction as more or less political than others. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation is not causation. This page does not name donors, does not invent committees, and does not treat 24 unique donors as a census of firms. BUSINESS is not interchangeable with BUSINESS OWNER, BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESSMAN.

Quote $461,033, 330 contributions, and 24 donors for Business in District of Columbia, against $18,619,893 nationwide, source FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts stay outside the itemized aggregate. Cycle stacking can raise line counts without raising unique people. Public records describe overlap; they do not assign motive. Keep both sides of the join—Business and District of Columbia—whenever the dollars are quoted.

District of Columbia Business dollars next to gift and donor counts

A complete claim names Business and District of Columbia (DC), then $461,033, 330 contributions, 24 donors, and 2.5% of $18,619,893, source FEC.gov. Remainder outside District of Columbia: $18,158,860. Mean gift $1,397 is $461,033 divided by 330 lines in this state cell. Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL.

Subtract the District of Columbia dollars on this page from the national BUSINESS occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BUSINESS in every other state combined. That remainder ($18,158,860) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 24 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. Keeping dollars, contribution count, and donor count on the same page is the point of the join.

Commercial occupation pages and District of Columbia finance

Business donations holds the $18,619,893 national occupation total. District of Columbia 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. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Generic business labeling strings that differ by even one word live on other hubs.

Questions

How much have Business donors in the District of Columbia given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation BUSINESS and state District of Columbia total $461,033, from 330 contributions and 24 donors. Nationwide, BUSINESS-coded receipts are $18,619,893 from 38,349 contributions and 2,172 donors. District of Columbia is about 2.5% of those dollars. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Does this include business executives who wrote a longer title?

No. The FEC file does not verify licenses, employers, or headcount. Occupation is the string BUSINESS and state is DC. 24 donors are not a census of firms. BUSINESS OWNER, BUSINESS EXECUTIVE, and BUSINESSMAN, if stored separately, sit in other hubs. Do not add those cells to Business. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates.

What share of Business FEC money is from D.C.?

About 2.5% of the $18,619,893 occupation total is in this District of Columbia join ($461,033). District of Columbia also accounts for about 0.9% of contributions (330 of 38,349) and about 1.1% of donors (24 of 2,172). Remainder outside District of Columbia: $18,158,860. Occupation labels are filer-entered; FEC.gov is the source for the join.

Is this a D.C. business-license list?

Not as a published split. Donor state is District of Columbia. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $461,033 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Open District of Columbia campaign finance for every occupation coded to DC; open Business donations for every state in the bucket. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins.
