- The national occupation total is $5,630,964 from 1,479 donors and 46,235 contributions—about 7.5% of those dollars are in this Ohio join.

Business Representative crossed with Ohio
Occupation BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE and donor state OH together produce $423,157, 4,085 contributions, and 106 donors. The occupation nationwide is $5,630,964, 46,235 contributions, and 1,479 donors. Ohio holds about 7.5% of Business Representative-coded dollars, about 8.8% of Business Representative-coded contribution rows, and about 7.2% of Business Representative-coded donors.
The three shares cluster in the mid-single digits, with row share a little ahead of dollars. Ohio’s Business Representative join is a substantial, relatively even slice of a high-row national label. The Ohio hub still mixes Exec and Dealer. The occupation hub still mixes every other state.
One hundred six Ohio donors and 4,085 contribution rows produced $423,157 under BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE. The occupation side is $5,630,964, 46,235 contributions, and 1,479 donors. About 7.5% of dollars, about 7.2% of donors, and about 8.8% of rows is a close trio on a high-row, ambiguous title. The string is not a verified union roster. The 4,085 Ohio rows are itemized individual lines attached to 106 contributor identities.
BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE as an ambiguous title
Filers use BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE for union business agents, for sales roles, and for other representative jobs. UNION REPRESENTATIVE and BUSINESS AGENT, if filed, are other pages. This join does not split the 1,479 national donors by which meaning they intended.
Nationally, 1,479 donors produced 46,235 contributions totaling $5,630,964. That is a high-row occupation. Ohio’s 4,085 of those lines are about 8.8% of national line volume.
One hundred six Ohio donors
One hundred six Ohio donors produced 4,085 contributions totaling $423,157. Other Ohio occupations are excluded. Business Representative receipts from other states fill the remainder of $5,630,964.
OH is the contributor state. It does not prove a particular local, employer, or Ohio federal recipient. The $423,157 is not allocated by office on this page.
Ohio’s 106 Business Representative-coded donors and 4,085 contributions sit inside 1,479 national donors and 46,235 national contributions. The $423,157 is that exact title only.
Do not treat the title as a union census
Some readers will hear “business representative” as a labor term. The FEC occupation field does not confirm that. Treating $423,157 as union political money would add a classification the packet does not contain. The relationship is the string BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE plus state OH.
Keep the numbers as filed: $423,157 of $5,630,964, 106 of 1,479 donors, 4,085 of 46,235 contributions.
How 4,085 rows sit inside 46,235
Ohio’s 4,085 contribution rows are about 8.8% of the 46,235 Business Representative-coded lines nationwide. The 106 donors are about 7.2% of 1,479. The $423,157 is about 7.5% of $5,630,964. Those three percentages agree closely enough that Ohio looks like a broad slice of a high-volume title rather than a two-person spike. Agreement is still not a poll of Ohio’s workforce.
BUSINESS REPRESENTATIVE remains an unresolved phrase. Some filers mean a union business agent. Some mean a sales representative. The aggregate does not split them. UNION REPRESENTATIVE, if it appears as a different string, is a different occupation page. This join’s 1,479 national donors and 106 Ohio donors are whoever typed this exact title.
Exec and Dealer are other Ohio occupation-state pages with other dollar figures. They do not belong inside $423,157. Itemized individual contributions are the only filing type counted. Independent expenditures and unitemized gifts are out. Use Business Representative donations, Ohio campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the surrounding hubs.
Limits of the occupation-state match
This page does not rank Ohio labor or sales occupations, and it does not claim the title funds particular campaigns. Two columns matched. Correlation is not causation.
Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. See Business Representative donations, Ohio campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.
