Business political contributions from Minnesota

$690,906 at the occupation-state overlay

Cycle-free geography: donor state MN and Business (BUSINESS) are the two nouns this URL must keep together. Drop Business and you are citing the Minnesota hub across every occupation. Drop Minnesota and you are citing an occupation hub that still mixes every other state. Keep both and the number is $690,906 from 698 contributions and 36 donors.

3.7% names $690,906 as a share of $18,619,893. It does not name a share of Minnesota statewide receipts, a share of licensed workers, or a share of itemized giving by every nearby title. Those denominators are absent. $17,928,987 is the complement inside the same occupation string, other states only.

BUSINESS is a one-word catch-all. Business Owner and Business Executive are other keys when those extra words appear. Industry is unpublished. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates grouped by occupation and donor state. Not a claim about federal spending.

Business is a filer-entered label

FEC.gov stores the occupation as typed. This join uses BUSINESS. Business Owner, Businessman, Businesswoman, and Business Executive are other keys when those characters appear. LobbyVault does not recode the string into a Dun & Bradstreet file, a NAICS employer census, or an incorporation extract. Cite $690,906 for this title in Minnesota on 698 receipts from 36 donors.

The occupation hub still holds $17,928,987 outside Minnesota. Most of the $18,619,893 roll is not this state’s cell if 3.7% is a modest slice — or a large slice if the state dominates. Either way, quote the share with both dollars.

Minnesota campaign finance versus this Business filter

Minnesota as used here is donor geography on itemized individual receipts. It is not a Secretary of State campaign-finance extract and not a state PAC database. Federal itemized individual contributions are the coverage. State-only filings never enter $690,906.

BUSINESS is a one-word catch-all. Business Owner and Business Executive are other keys when those extra words appear. Industry is unpublished. Keep Minnesota in the same sentence as Business when citing $690,906. Dropping the occupation noun turns the figure into an unpublished statewide total.

19.4 gifts per donor is arithmetic, not turnout

19.4 gifts per donor is 698 divided by 36. 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.

36 donor keys totaling $690,906 is not a ranking of Business against other occupations in Minnesota. This join has one occupation and one state. Neighboring occ-state pages are other keys.

Coverage limits on the Business × Minnesota cell

Coverage is itemized individual contributions with occupation BUSINESS and donor state MN. $690,906, 698 lines, 36 keys. The occupation total $18,619,893 uses the same string without the state filter. Anything else a reader might want — party, committee, employer, city — is not in this packet.

Donor state is an address code. That fact locates the money on the disclosure form. It does not explain motives. See Business donations, Minnesota campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for adjacent tables. Source: FEC.gov.

Amended reports and live hubs

Individual reports amend. A later extract can raise or lower $690,906 without this JSON file changing. Treat the live Business hub and the live Minnesota hub as current, and treat this prose as a labeled snapshot of packet facts: $690,906, 698, 36, $18,619,893.

BUSINESS is a one-word catch-all. Business Owner and Business Executive are other keys when those extra words appear. Industry is unpublished. Sibling occupation-state pages for other states or other titles are other slugs. Do not reuse $690,906 on those pages.

Repeat the join in one sentence for citation: occupation Business, donor state Minnesota (MN), $690,906 itemized, 698 contributions, 36 donors, 3.7% of $18,619,893. BUSINESS is a one-word catch-all. Business Owner and Business Executive are other keys when those extra words appear. Industry is unpublished. Business Owner, Businessman, Businesswoman, and Business Executive stay on other occupation pages. The Minnesota 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 $690,906: treat it as payroll, treat 36 as a workforce census, treat 3.7% as a share of Minnesota 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 $990 per contribution and $19,192 per donor remain attached to 698 and 36. About 19.4 lines per donor remains 698 divided by 36.

Questions

What is the Minnesota Business contribution total?

$690,906 from 698 itemized contributions and 36 donor keys whose occupation grouped to BUSINESS and whose donor state grouped to MN. Source: FEC.gov. That number is not the occupation’s national total of $18,619,893. Mixing the two columns is incorrect.

What share of Business occupation receipts is Minnesota?

3.7%. That is $690,906 divided by $18,619,893. The complement is $17,928,987 from other states under the same occupation string. The share is not a share of donors nationwide, votes, or federal awards. Contribution share is 1.8%; donor share is 1.7%.

Does occupation BUSINESS mean the donors were licensed in Minnesota?

No. Occupation is a filer-entered field. FEC.gov does not verify licenses, degrees, or employment. BUSINESS is a one-word catch-all. Business Owner and Business Executive are other keys when those extra words appear. Industry is unpublished. 36 is a donor-key count, not a credential census. The dollars remain $690,906 on 698 lines.

Where are the live Business and Minnesota tables?

Business donations carries the $18,619,893 occupation total. Minnesota campaign finance places Business beside other occupation strings in that state. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Business × Minnesota intersection only.
