Business Owner political contributions from Massachusetts

Business Owner and Massachusetts as a high-repeat donor cell

295 unique-donor rows in Massachusetts sit inside a national unique-donor count of 13,449 for BUSINESS OWNER. That is 2.2% of donors and 2.4% of dollars ($2,004,772 of $82,755,159). Seven thousand five hundred ninety-nine contributions from 295 donors describes many repeat itemized rows, not 7,599 unique Massachusetts owners.

Do not stack BUSINESS OWNER with OWNER, ENTREPRENEUR, and SELF EMPLOYED into a single Massachusetts professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs. 295 Massachusetts donors produced 7,599 contributions, about 25.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.5 rows per donor nationally. The arithmetic mean gift in this Massachusetts cell is about $264, against about $374 nationwide.

BUSINESS OWNER in Massachusetts, not Sales

BUSINESS OWNER is a filer-entered string. SALES in Massachusetts is a separate join in this slice. Do not add BUSINESS OWNER to SALES. The $82,755,159 national total is BUSINESS OWNER only. 13,449 donors produced 221,498 contributions in that occupation bucket. This page does not split those 221,498 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Massachusetts (MA).

295 Massachusetts donors produced 7,599 contributions totaling $2,004,772. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts license, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. The leftover $80,750,387 is Business Owner-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Seven thousand five hundred ninety-nine Massachusetts Business Owner lines

The Massachusetts campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to MA. This join is only BUSINESS OWNER. Donor state MA is the address on the record, not proof of a Massachusetts entity filing, and not a limit to Massachusetts candidates. The Business Owner occupation hub without Massachusetts still holds 97.6% of the $82,755,159.

Business Owner donations holds the $82,755,159 national occupation total. Massachusetts campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and All FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields.

Registries, Sales MA, and awards

This page does not rank Massachusetts against Pennsylvania or Georgia as a more political owner state. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BUSINESS OWNER is not a Massachusetts business-registration file. Donor state MA is not recipient geography. A 295-donor cell with 7,599 lines is a high-repeat pattern, not a unique-person census.

Subtract the Massachusetts dollars on this page from the national BUSINESS OWNER occupation total and the difference is $80,750,387 still coded BUSINESS OWNER in every other state combined. That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. A unique-donor count of 295 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.
