Business Executive political contributions from California

Reading $2,337,785 as an intersection

Limits of the Business Executive string in California

A clean footnote for BUSINESS EXECUTIVE in CA

Footnote language that stays inside the packet: filers who stored occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and donor state CA itemized $2,337,785 (2,499 contributions, 217 donors; 17.7% of $13,233,638 nationally). Source: FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Leave owner-operator versus employed-executive titles as typed out of the footnote because it is unpublished. Leave named donors out because they are not in this packet. Leave federal awards out because they are a different dataset.

Repeat the join without adding fields the packet does not publish. The occupation and state hubs remain the places for one-sided totals. This tie page quotes packet facts only. Independent expenditures stay outside the cell. Filer-entered occupation strings are not payroll titles. Readers who need a person-level roster will not find names on this page. USAspending.gov is a different ledger from FEC.gov individual contributions.

All occupations and All FEC ties remain the indexes for sibling joins. Cite the source note exactly as copied from the packet. Do not convert a contribution count into a unique-person census. Dollar figures first, then the two keys that produced them. The canonical path is a ties URL, not a donor-detail URL. Unitemized gifts are outside the itemized aggregate quoted here.
