Business Owner as occupation text meeting ActBlue
BUSINESS OWNER is the occupation string as stored. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. FEC.gov does not store employee count, revenue, or EIN on this aggregate. Matching rows sum to $7,199,293 across 125,073 contributions. The occupation hub is $82,755,159 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Business Owner. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.
More than 100,000 itemized lines at a two-digit mean. The occupation book is large; this conduit is a single-digit share of it. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed BUSINESS OWNER; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll.
Owner, Small Business Owner, and Self Employed are other keys if stored separately. Business Owner holds the occupation-wide $82,755,159. ACTBLUE holds committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties keep the pair in the index. Self Employed is a separate ActBlue join in this batch. Owner and Small Business Owner, if stored, remain other keys.
A single-digit share of a large Business Owner book
The Business Owner occupation grouping shows $82,755,159 in itemized individual money. The ActBlue cell is $7,199,293, or 8.7% of that total. The remaining $75,555,866 (91.3%) went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder.
Business Owner keeps the $82,755,159 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a Census Bureau firm count, an SBA loan file, or a company PAC.
A high-count ActBlue cell under an owner title
ACTBLUE received $7,199,293 from Business Owner-coded receipts across 125,073 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $58 per contribution. 125,073 lines are not 125,073 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell.
The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $7,199,293 total. Self Employed is a separate ActBlue join in this batch. Owner and Small Business Owner, if stored, remain other keys.
Owner titles are not a firm census
A 8.7% share of Business Owner-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ActBlue is the occupation’s only political destination. SBA awards on USAspending.gov are not this cell. Do not treat contribution count as unique firms. Repeat givers raise the line count. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards.
Quote $7,199,293 as 8.7% of $82,755,159 into C00401224, with 125,073 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 125,073 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. Owner, Small Business Owner, and Self Employed are other keys if stored separately.
How to cite Business Owner × C00401224
A complete claim names Business Owner and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $7,199,293, 125,073 contributions, and 8.7% of $82,755,159, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $75,555,866 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.
Mean gift $58 is $7,199,293 divided by 125,073 lines. It is not a typical check and not a contribution limit. Later FEC bulk files override this snapshot. Do not add $7,199,293 to $82,755,159. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages.
