Business Owner political contributions from New York

Business Owner and New York as overlapping FEC fields

Occupation BUSINESS OWNER and donor state NY produce $3,567,879, 11,782 contributions, and 689 donors. The occupation hub is $82,755,159, 221,498 contributions, and 13,449 donors. New York’s dollar share is about 4.3%; contribution share about 5.3% (11,782 of 221,498); donor share about 5.1% (689 of 13,449). Six hundred eighty-nine New York donors are about 5.1% of 13,449 national donors; 11,782 contributions are about 5.3% of 221,498 national rows; dollars are about 4.3% of $82,755,159.

OWNER, CO OWNER, and SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, if used, sit in other hubs and should not be added to this Business Owner total. Do not stack BUSINESS OWNER with OWNER or CO OWNER into a single New York professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

689 New York donors produced 11,782 contributions, about 17.1 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 16.5 rows per donor nationally (221,498 contributions from 13,449 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this New York cell is about $303, against about $374 nationwide. New York’s about 4.3% share of $82,755,159 is a large owner-title cell, not a Secretary of State entity extract.

BUSINESS OWNER as an owner-title string

BUSINESS OWNER is a filer-entered string. The FEC file does not verify an EIN, a license, or an entity filing. 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 New York (NY). Thirteen thousand four hundred forty-nine national donors make BUSINESS OWNER a high-volume occupation. This tie asks how much of that labeled money also carries donor state NY.

New York on the state side

689 New York donors produced 11,782 contributions totaling $3,567,879. Donor state NY is the address on the record, not proof of a New York license, and not a limit to New York candidates. NY is the address on the itemized record, not proof of a New York entity, and not a map of which campaigns received the $3,567,879.

The New York campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NY. This join is only BUSINESS OWNER. The Business Owner occupation hub without New York still holds about 95.7% of the $82,755,159. New York’s state hub includes every other occupation coded to NY. BUSINESS OWNER is only this filter.

What the Business Owner join is not

This page does not merge Co Owner dollars, count firms, or claim that Business Owner-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. BUSINESS OWNER is not CO OWNER even when filers meant a shared shop.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. BUSINESS OWNER is not a NAICS firm extract. Donor state NY is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Entity names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Business Owner filter

Subtract the New York dollars on this page from the national BUSINESS OWNER occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded BUSINESS OWNER in every other state combined. That remainder ($79,187,280) 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 689 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 11,782 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $3,567,879 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the New York dollars, or only the BUSINESS OWNER national total, drops a key. Six hundred eighty-nine donors producing 11,782 contributions totaling $3,567,879 is the fact to keep next to the dollar headline.

Business Owner donations holds the $82,755,159 national occupation total. New York 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. CO OWNER is a different occupation hub if that string exists.
