Business Executive political contributions from Ohio

The Business Executive–Ohio intersection

Occupation BUSINESS EXECUTIVE and donor state OH produce $691,652, 326 contributions, and 44 donors. The occupation hub is $13,233,638, 17,438 contributions, and 1,674 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 5.2%; contribution share about 1.9% (326 of 17,438); donor share about 2.6% (44 of 1,674). Forty-four Ohio donors sit inside 1,674 national BUSINESS EXECUTIVE donors. Three hundred twenty-six contributions of 17,438 national rows is a concentrated officer-style slice.

CEO, EXECUTIVE, and PRESIDENT, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack BUSINESS EXECUTIVE with CEO or EXECUTIVE into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

44 Ohio donors produced 326 contributions, about 7.4 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 10.4 rows per donor nationally (17,438 contributions from 1,674 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $2,122, against about $759 nationwide. Ohio’s $691,652 from 326 rows is a large-mean slice, not a typical paycheck gift. Do not add Minnesota’s $789,514 Business Executive join to this cell.

BUSINESS EXECUTIVE as a self-described title

BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify C-suite status, equity ownership, or an Ohio corporate filing. The $13,233,638 national total is BUSINESS EXECUTIVE only. 1,674 donors produced 17,438 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 17,438 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). The national occupation still holds $13,233,638. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state OH.

Ohio as donor state

44 Ohio donors produced 326 contributions totaling $691,652. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record. Forty-four unique donors is not an Ohio executive directory and not a map of which campaigns received the $691,652.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only BUSINESS EXECUTIVE. The Business Executive occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 94.8% of the $13,233,638. Ohio’s state hub includes every occupation coded to OH. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is only this filter.

What not to infer from Business Executive plus Ohio

This page does not count officers, mix Minnesota dollars into this cell, or claim that Business Executive-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is not CEO and not COO even when filers meant those roles.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BUSINESS EXECUTIVE is not a corporate-officer extract. Donor state OH is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Business Executive filter

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national BUSINESS EXECUTIVE occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BUSINESS EXECUTIVE in every other state combined. That remainder ($12,541,986) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 44 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 326 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $691,652 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the BUSINESS EXECUTIVE national total, drops a key. Forty-four donors producing 326 contributions totaling $691,652 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.
