Business contributions received by ACTBLUE

A generic Business stamp on an ActBlue conduit

BUSINESS is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. BUSINESS OWNER, BUSINESSMAN, and BUSINESSWOMAN are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $2,660,646 across 26,981 contributions. The occupation hub is $18,619,893 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Business. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Tens of thousands of itemized lines on a generic title describe a catch-all occupation stamp, not a NAICS industry total. 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; 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. Filers who typed BUSINESS OWNER or ENTREPRENEUR sit in other hubs. This join is the four-letter-style title only as stored: BUSINESS.

A mid-teens slice of a large Business grouping

The Business occupation grouping shows $18,619,893 in itemized individual money. The ACTBLUE cell is $2,660,646, or 14.3% of that total. The remaining $15,959,247 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. Most of the $18.6 million occupation book still sits at other committees. A 14.3% ActBlue share is a slice, not a majority.

Business keeps the $18,619,893 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 company PAC or for independent expenditures.

26,981 contributions on a short occupation label

ACTBLUE received $2,660,646 from Business-coded receipts across 26,981 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $99 per contribution. 26,981 lines are not 26,981 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. A mean near $99 is arithmetic. The packet has no median and no unique-donor count.

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 $2,660,646 total. C00401224 can function as a conduit; this join still stores the committee as the recipient on the itemized line.

NAICS, BUSINESS OWNER, and federal awards

A 14.3% share of Business-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. 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. Do not treat BUSINESS as a small-business census or as proof of a company treasury gift.

Quote $2,660,646 as 14.3% of $18,619,893 into C00401224, with 26,981 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 26,981 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. This page is not a Census Bureau business census or a small-business PAC.

How to cite Business × C00401224

A complete claim names Business and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $2,660,646, 26,981 contributions, and 14.3% of $18,619,893, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $15,959,247 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

A Census Bureau establishment count or a small-business PAC would be a different object. BUSINESS OWNER is a sibling occupation hub. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $99 is $2,660,646 divided by 26,981 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $15,959,247. Repeat the four numbers together: $2,660,646 into C00401224, 26,981 contributions, 14.3% of $18,619,893, committee ACTBLUE.
