Businessman political contributions from Nevada

Seventeen Nevada donors inside a $34 million occupation

Occupation BUSINESSMAN and donor state NV produce $1,425,552, 117 contributions, and 17 donors. The occupation hub is $34,277,492, 34,660 contributions, and 3,044 donors. Nevada’s dollar share is about 4.2% ($1,425,552 of $34,277,492). Its contribution share is about 0.34% (117 of 34,660). Its donor share is about 0.56% (17 of 3,044).

Dollar share is more than ten times contribution share. That is extreme concentration: a tiny number of itemized gifts, some of them large, sit in the Nevada cell while the national occupation is thick with 34,660 contributions.

BUSINESSWOMAN, BUSINESS OWNER, and ENTREPRENEUR are other keys if stored separately. They are not inside $34,277,492 unless grouped here. This packet does not claim that grouping.

A gendered title with a large national dollar pile

BUSINESSMAN is how some filers describe their work. It is not a NAICS industry and not a legal form (LLC, S-corp, partnership). Three thousand forty-four national donors used the string. People who typed OWNER or CEO are in other occupation totals.

Thirty-four thousand six hundred sixty contributions from 3,044 donors nationwide is about 11 itemized gifts per donor. Nevada’s 117 contributions from 17 donors is about 7 gifts per donor. The Nevada cell is not receipt-heavy. It is dollar-heavy relative to how few lines it contains.

Mean gift size in the Nevada cell

Dividing $1,425,552 by 117 contributions yields about $12,184 per gift. Dividing by 17 donors yields about $83,856 per donor. Nationally, $34,277,492 divided by 34,660 contributions is about $989 per gift. The Nevada mean is an order of magnitude larger. A handful of large itemized gifts among 17 people can produce $1,425,552 without describing a typical Nevada businessman.

Donor state NV is the address on the receipt. Recipients need not be Nevada committees. This join does not assign party, office, or industry of the donor’s business.

Seventeen Nevada donors produced 117 contributions, about 7 itemized gifts per person, versus about 11 nationally. The cell is light on lines (0.34% of 34,660) and still holds 4.2% of dollars because about $12,184 per gift dwarfs the national occupation mean of about $989. That is a ratio on 117 receipts, not a typical Nevada business check.

What 4.2% of Businessman dollars is not

Nevada’s share of the occupation is a table split. It is not evidence that Nevada’s economy caused BUSINESSMAN giving, and it is not evidence that these dollars funded federal contracts. FEC individual receipts and USAspending awards do not join on this page.

Coverage is itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov. Unitemized money and independent expenditures are out of scope. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Correlation of title and Nevada address is not causation.

BUSINESSMAN is a gendered string. A Nevada filer who typed BUSINESS OWNER or ENTREPRENEUR is not in $1,425,552. Comparing this cell to a Census count of Nevada firms would mix an FEC occupation stamp with an establishment survey.

Hubs on each side

Businessman donations carries the $34,277,492 national occupation total. Nevada campaign finance carries all NV-coded itemized individual activity. All occupations and All FEC ties keep this thin 17-donor cell from being read as Nevada’s full statewide giving or as the entire BUSINESSMAN occupation.

The occupation hub still holds $32,851,940 outside Nevada ($34,277,492 minus $1,425,552). Most Businessman-coded dollars are not NV-coded. This page isolates a 17-person overlap. It does not describe Nevada’s statewide giving, which mixes every occupation on the state hub.

Reading 117 contributions against $1,425,552

One hundred seventeen itemized gifts produced $1,425,552. That arithmetic is public. It is also easy to misread as Nevada’s business community speaking with one checkbook. Seventeen unique donors and a $12,184 mean gift are the actual shape. Most Businessman-coded activity—34,543 of 34,660 contributions—sits outside Nevada.

The state hub still mixes every NV occupation. This page does not replace it. $1,425,552 is BUSINESSMAN × NV only.

Questions

How much have Businessman donors in Nevada given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Businessman and state Nevada total $1,425,552, from 117 contributions and 17 donors. Nationwide, Businessman-coded receipts are $34,277,492 from 34,660 contributions and 3,044 donors. Nevada is about 4.2% of those dollars.

Does Businessman include business owners of every gender?

This join reports the BUSINESSMAN occupation string only. BUSINESSWOMAN, OWNER, and similar titles are separate keys unless grouped here, which this packet does not claim. The 17 Nevada donors are people whose records used BUSINESSMAN.

Why are there only 117 Nevada contributions for $1.4 million?

117 contributions from 17 donors produced $1,425,552, about $12,184 per gift. Nationally the occupation averages about $989 per gift ($34,277,492 / 34,660). A few large itemized gifts raise the Nevada mean. Contribution count is not a measure of how many businesses exist in Nevada.

Is this money given to Nevada candidates?

Not necessarily. NV is the donor state on the contribution. The $1,425,552 can be received by any FEC-filing committee. This page does not break receipts by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees.
