Business Owner political contributions from Florida

BUSINESS OWNER and Florida, joined

Keeping receipts where occupation is BUSINESS OWNER and contributor state is Florida yields $5,343,762. That is about 6% of $82,755,159 nationally, about 7% of 221,498 contributions (16,170), and about 8% of 13,449 donors (1,020). The three percentages sit close together. Florida looks like a scaled piece of the national mix, not a concentration cell.

Average itemized gift in Florida is about $330 ($5,343,762 / 16,170). Entrepreneur, owner, and president are not added. Those strings have their own occupation pages. This join is BUSINESS OWNER only.

Sixteen thousand one hundred seventy Florida BUSINESS OWNER gifts are about 7% of 221,498 nationally. With 1,020 of 13,449 donors and $5,343,762 of $82,755,159, the three shares stay in a narrow band. That is how a large-state cut of a catch-all title looks when it is not being carried by a handful of checks.

The national ownership label

Thirteen thousand four hundred forty-nine donors used BUSINESS OWNER on itemized receipts totaling $82,755,159 across 221,498 gifts. The phrase does not name an industry or a revenue band. The FEC does not map it to corporate filings.

Florida’s $5,343,762 leaves most of the occupation in other states ($82,755,159 minus $5,343,762). The national hub remains the place to see the full series; this page is the Florida address cut.

One thousand twenty Florida donors

One thousand twenty Florida donors produced 16,170 BUSINESS OWNER-tagged contributions totaling $5,343,762. Repeat itemization is built into the gap between donor count and contribution count. The Florida campaign-finance hub places this title beside entrepreneur, realtor, and other FL strings so one ownership word is not treated as all Florida business giving.

Seasonal residency affects Florida address fields. A donor who files a Florida address with this occupation enters the $5,343,762; a Florida operator who files from another state does not. The join follows the receipt, not a business-license map.

Average gift about $330 with 16,170 receipts is moderate and repetitive. It does not verify firms or employees. It does not map money to Florida races. Read it as 1,020 people, this string, this state field, $5,343,762. Then use the Florida hub and the BUSINESS OWNER occupation hub for the parent views.

Boundaries

Listing BUSINESS OWNER does not verify a firm, employees, or that the contribution came from business funds. Individual receipts are personal as reported. The join does not claim Florida owners funded Florida candidates or that ownership caused the gifts.

A scaled piece of a catch-all ownership title

Florida BUSINESS OWNER at $5,343,762 from 1,020 donors and 16,170 gifts is about 6% of dollars, 7% of gifts, and 8% of donors on the $82,755,159 national label. Those shares agree. Texas’s sibling join is $6,678,884 from 1,133 donors on the same denominator. Two large states, similar shape, neither owning the occupation.

ENTREPRENEUR in Florida is the higher-average ownership word ($5,835,695 from 339 donors). BUSINESS OWNER is the wider donor base. They are not a combined Florida owner total. Founder and owner, if present, would be additional pages. Seasonal addresses still apply: Florida on the receipt is the ticket into the 1,020 keys.

One thousand twenty Florida donors, 16,170 gifts, $5,343,762, about 6–8% of the $82,755,159 BUSINESS OWNER series on every measure. That agreement among percentages is the opposite of a concentration cell. ENTREPRENEUR in Florida is the other ownership word, with fewer people and a higher average. Cite each string separately. Seasonal addresses still decide who is in the 1,020 keys.
