Businessman contributions received by PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC)

Businessman itemized gifts tagged to PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC)

$15,000,000 requires both keys at once: employer/occupation grouping BUSINESSMAN, and recipient committee C00770495 disclosed as PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC). LobbyVault keeps a Businessman industry hub and a PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) committee hub. Neither hub is this page. The industry hub lists every committee that received itemized gifts storing this grouping. The committee hub lists every industry string that gave to C00770495. This URL is only the intersection.

This page is a JOIN. One side is the filer-entered grouping Businessman. The other side is PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) on C00770495. $15,000,000 is what remains after both filters, across 152 itemized contributions. Opening only the Businessman hub restates $88,737,341. Opening only the committee hub restates every grouping that gave to C00770495. Adding those hubs together double-counts. BUSINESSMAN is an occupation grouping, not a firm. BUSINESS, BUSINESS OWNER, and BUSINESS WOMAN are other keys. PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) on C00770495 is the recipient label, including the parenthetical. 152 contributions produced the cell. Ohio in the committee name is not a geography filter on the donor side. Do not invent a roster of business owners.

Putting $88,737,341 in context

Businessman’s all-committee itemized book in this extract is $88,737,341 ($88.7 million). $15,000,000 is 16.9% of that book. The leftover $73,737,341 (83.1%) went to other committees under BUSINESSMAN, or sits outside this recipient filter. A large or small share still describes overlap of two FEC groupings, not a finding that people in this grouping preferred this committee as a bloc.

Take the committee filter off and BUSINESSMAN still shows $88,737,341 itemized. $15,000,000 is the slice tagged to C00770495. Open the Businessman hub for the remainder $73,737,341. Do not subtract by hand from a different extract dated on another night. The industry book is not a company budget and not a NAICS sector total.

Committee PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) on one ID

C00770495 is disclosed as PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC). This page does not list independent expenditures the committee made, operating expenditures it paid, or earmark destinations beyond the labeled recipient. $15,000,000 is itemized individual receipts storing grouping BUSINESSMAN and committee C00770495. Other industry strings giving to PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) appear on the committee hub. Adding them here would break the industry filter.

Quote the committee with its FEC ID so a similarly named filing is not swapped in. PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) on another ID is a different page. This URL is Businessman × C00770495, not every spelling of BUSINESSMAN. Dividing $15,000,000 by 152 contributions yields about $98,684 per itemized gift. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical gift and not a median. The packet does not name unique donors. Inventing names from the grouping label would break the contract.

Arithmetic of the leftover

16.9% of $88,737,341 is $15,000,000 to PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) (C00770495). That percentage describes overlap of two FEC groupings. Most of the $88,737,341 industry book went to other committees when 83.1% remains. Even when 16.9% is a visible slice, the slice is still only the C00770495 filter. Ranking this grouping against other employer strings is outside the packet.

The leftover $73,737,341 under the BUSINESSMAN string went to other committees. The Businessman hub holds that remainder. The PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) page holds receipts whose employer field did not store BUSINESSMAN. Do not stack this cell with another industry’s gifts to C00770495; each join is its own filter.

What correlation is not

Unitemized federal gifts sit outside $15,000,000. Independent expenditures are a different FEC file; the source note on this packet says these aggregates are not independent expenditures. Employer and occupation labels are filer-entered. Neighboring spellings, punctuation variants, and successor company names are other keys. PAC disbursements from Businessman as an organization are not this cell.

Do not read $15,000,000 as proof that Businessman “funded” PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) as a corporate act, or that the committee spent the money on a particular race. The join is two fields. Correlation is not causation. FEC individual contributions are not USAspending awards. This packet has no obligation dollars and no award counts. Do not add $15,000,000 to federal spending.

FEC.gov versus this snapshot

Internal links go to Businessman, PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC), All industries, and All FEC ties. Use those four doors. The industry page holds the $88,737,341 book and the committees that received the leftover $73,737,341. The committee page holds C00770495 receipts from every grouping. All FEC ties collects neighboring pairs without mixing independent expenditures into this cell.

All FEC ties lists neighboring industry-committee pages. None of them converts $15,000,000 into independent expenditures or into USAspending obligations.

Keep both sides named: Businessman (BUSINESSMAN) as the industry/occupation grouping, PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC) (C00770495) as the recipient. $15,000,000 from 152 itemized contributions is the published overlap. Unitemized gifts never appear. If a later FEC extract disagrees with this snapshot, FEC.gov controls.

What share of Businessman itemized money went to PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC)?

Does this page list the Businessman donors to PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC)?

No. This packet publishes a dollar total ($15,000,000) and a contribution count (152). It does not name unique donors. Businessman is filer-entered employer or occupation text, not a verified employee or member list. Inventing names from the grouping or from the committee label would go beyond the facts.

Is $15,000,000 independent expenditure spending by PROTECT OHIO VALUES PAC (POV PAC)?

No. $15,000,000 is itemized individual contributions grouped by employer/industry and recipient committee. The source note states these aggregates are not independent expenditures. FEC receipts and USAspending award files are different datasets. Sharing a grouping string does not turn these gifts into federal obligations.
