Business Owner political contributions from California

Business Owner and California as a high-volume join

Occupation BUSINESS OWNER and donor state CA together sum to $10,553,723, 39,082 contributions, and 1,947 donors. The occupation hub is $82,755,159, 221,498 contributions, and 13,449 donors. California’s share of dollars is 12.8%; of contributions, 17.6% (39,082 of 221,498); of donors, 14.5% (1,947 of 13,449).

1,947 California donors produced 39,082 contributions totaling $10,553,723. That is 12.8% of the $82,755,159 Business Owner occupation total. The leftover $72,201,436 is Business Owner-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

California’s $10,553,723 is 12.8% of $82,755,159. About $72,201,436 remains Business Owner-coded in every other state. Do not stack BUSINESSMAN or OWNER California cells onto this total. Those strings, if used, are other occupation hubs. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted.

BUSINESS OWNER as a common owner-operator label

BUSINESS OWNER is a high-volume owner-operator string. BUSINESSMAN, OWNER, and SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs. Thirteen thousand four hundred forty-nine donors produced 221,498 contributions totaling $82,755,159 — a large national book.

California’s 39,082 contributions are 17.6% of national Business Owner rows; 1,947 donors are 14.5% of the donor count; dollars are 12.8%. The shares cluster in a lower band than some California professional joins. That is a slice description, not a ranking of business formation.

California’s 1,947 Business Owner-coded donors

1,947 California donors produced 39,082 contributions totaling $10,553,723. Donor state CA is the address on the contribution record, not proof of a California workplace, and not a limit to California candidates.

The California campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to CA. This join is only BUSINESS OWNER. BUSINESSMAN, OWNER, and SMALL BUSINESS OWNER are other occupation strings if filers used them; they are not this page even when they share the CA state code.

Business Owner donations without California still holds the remainder of the $82,755,159 occupation total. A California directory of workplaces would need employment data this FEC join does not contain.

Thirteen percent of a large occupation book

This page does not measure a California small-business registry or an employment-size table, and it does not claim that Business Owner-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation.

BUSINESS OWNER fragments against BUSINESSMAN, OWNER, and SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. Those strings, if used, never enter the $82,755,159 or the $10,553,723. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. The join does not allocate the California dollars by recipient office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.

Owner strings that remain other pages

Subtract the California dollars on this page from the national Business Owner occupation total and the difference is $72,201,436 still coded Business Owner in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. Business Owner donations holds the unlabeled-by-state total; California campaign finance holds every occupation with this state code; all occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the California dollars, or only the Business Owner national total, drops a key.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered.

Where this Business Owner pair is filed

Business Owner donations holds the $82,755,159 national occupation total and the 13,449-donor count. California campaign finance holds all itemized individual activity coded to CA. All occupations and all FEC ties place this pair among other occupation-state intersections.
