Business Owner contributions received by FF PAC
Filers whose employer field grouped to BUSINESS OWNER sent $1,000,000 in itemized gifts to FF PAC (C00669259) across 301 contribution lines. Business Owner as stored text totals $13,380,189 on every committee in this table; 7.5% of that book sits here. FEC.gov is the source. Independent expenditures stay outside $1,000,000.
Key figures
- FF PAC received $1,000,000 from Business Owner-coded individual contributions across 301 itemized gifts.
- The Business Owner grouping totals $13,380,189, so this committee accounts for about 7.5% of that labeled money.
- 301 lines average about $3,322 each; that mean is arithmetic on the packet, not a typical gift.
- BUSINESS OWNER is FEC stored text (a job-word employer/occupation string, not a small-business census), not a unique-donor census.
- Figures are FEC itemized individual contributions, not independent expenditures or USAspending awards.
The Business Owner × FF PAC overlap
LobbyVault stores employer/industry strings separately from committees. Crossing them for Business Owner and FF PAC yields $1,000,000. That is 301 itemized lines. The figure is not a committee disbursement and not a company political budget.
Keep $13,380,189 on the Business Owner hub and keep C00669259 for receipts from every employer. Only the overlap is $1,000,000. About 7.5% of the grouping sits here; $12,380,189 (92.5%) does not.
Because the grouping is a job-word employer/occupation string, not a small-business census, the cell is a text match. Household members and former workers can reuse a workplace or title. The Commission does not audit those claims on this aggregate.
Business Owner is job-like form text
On FEC Form 3, employer and occupation are typed fields. BUSINESS OWNER survived grouping as Business Owner. That is not a Dunn-style firm ID and not a donor page. People who typed a longer legal name sit elsewhere.
For a job string, the usual error is treating $13,380,189 as a company political budget. $13,380,189 is summed itemized individual receipts that matched this text. $1,000,000 is the slice that also matched C00669259. The 7.5% ratio is $1,000,000 divided by $13,380,189. Other committee joins for BUSINESS OWNER are not listed in this packet; they collectively hold $12,380,189. Citing FF PAC as if it were the Business Owner lifetime total would overstate this cell by $12,380,189.
What C00669259 holds besides this cell
The committee hub still contains every other employer string. This tie keeps Business Owner on. Without an all-employer committee total in the facts, $1,000,000 cannot be turned into a percent of FF PAC national receipts.
7.5% remains a share of the Business Owner grouping ($13,380,189), not a share of C00669259. Mixing those denominators is the usual citation error. A mean of $3,322 per itemized line can hide a few large receipts. The packet supplies no median and no unique-donor count. 301 contributions remain a line count, not a headcount.
Where $12,380,189 still sits
After this cell of $1,000,000, $12,380,189 of the Business Owner grouping remains on other committees. That remainder is 92.5% of $13,380,189. The FF PAC page is not empty of other employers; this file simply does not add them.
Percentages here use packet facts only. No committee-wide denominator is supplied, so no “share of FF PAC” claim is possible. 7.5% is Business Owner-internal. Business Owner as a job-word employer/occupation string, not a small-business census can appear in contracting databases under similar names. Those obligation tables are not this $1,000,000. The join does not claim a payment trail from campaign gifts to federal awards or the reverse.
Form text is not a payroll file
FEC employer fields are typed by filers. BUSINESS OWNER is stored as written for this grouping. The Commission does not verify employment, professional licenses, or corporate identity on this aggregate. Business Owner here is a job-word employer/occupation string, not a small-business census.
PAC filings, independent expenditures, and unitemized gifts are other tables. USAspending obligations are another database entirely. $1,000,000 does not fund federal awards, and federal awards do not explain $1,000,000. Quote both keys: Business Owner and FF PAC. Quote the dollars: $1,000,000. Quote the volume: 301 contributions. Quote the source: FEC.gov. Leave NAICS codes and named donors out.
A citation template for this join
Suggested citation: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, employer/industry grouping BUSINESS OWNER, recipient committee FF PAC (C00669259), $1,000,000, 301 contributions (7.5% of $13,380,189 stored for the string).
Do not append NAICS codes, USAspending dollars, or named donors. Those facts are not in the packet. If a later overlay revises $1,000,000, the overlay controls. Unitemized individual gifts never enter $1,000,000. Independent expenditures and PAC disbursements are other FEC tables. Sharing a company-like string does not merge those ledgers with C00669259. Restating the join without new numbers: Business Owner at FF PAC is $1,000,000 from 301 itemized individual contributions on FEC.gov. The same string stores $13,380,189 across committees, so this recipient is about 7.5% and other committees hold $12,380,189 (92.5%). The grouping is a job-word employer/occupation string, not a small-business census, not a chamber PAC, a NAICS owner rollup, or Business Owner as a company treasury. No donor names, unique-donor count, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $3,322. That mean is arithmetic, not a median. Independent expenditures remain outside $1,000,000.
