BUSINESS OWNER as a longer title than BUSINESS

BUSINESS OWNER is a filer-entered string. BUSINESS and ENTREPRENEUR, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not add those strings into a Virginia owner total. 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 Virginia (VA).

370 Virginia donors produced 5,442 contributions totaling $4,572,979. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia license, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. The leftover $78,182,180 is Business Owner-coded money from every other state combined on this extract.

Three hundred seventy Virginia Business Owner donors

The Virginia campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to VA. This join is only BUSINESS OWNER. Donor state VA is the address on the record, not proof of a Virginia-registered company, and not a limit to Virginia candidates. The Business Owner occupation hub without Virginia still holds 94.5% of the $82,755,159.

Business Owner donations holds the $82,755,159 national occupation total. Virginia 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.

SCC filings, BUSINESS as a sibling, and awards

This page does not measure a Virginia small-business census or a Chamber roster. 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 Virginia SCC business-entity file. Donor state VA is not recipient geography. The join does not rank Virginia business owners against other states as more or less political.

Subtract the Virginia dollars on this page from the national BUSINESS OWNER occupation total and the difference is $78,182,180 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 370 is not a person-level audit. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join.
