CFO political contributions from Ohio

The CFO–Ohio intersection

Occupation CFO and donor state OH produce $1,098,753, 3,143 contributions, and 220 donors. The occupation hub is $36,233,003, 78,219 contributions, and 6,214 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 3.0%; contribution share about 4.0% (3,143 of 78,219); donor share about 3.5% (220 of 6,214). Two hundred twenty Ohio donors are 3.5% of 6,214 national CFO donors. Contributions (3,143 of 78,219) are about 4.0%; dollars about 3.0% of $36,233,003.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, CONTROLLER, and FINANCE, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CFO with CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER or CONTROLLER into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

220 Ohio donors produced 3,143 contributions, about 14.3 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 12.6 rows per donor nationally (78,219 contributions from 6,214 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $350, against about $463 nationwide. Ohio’s mean gift is about $350, below the national CFO mean of about $463. Contribution share ahead of dollar share is a smaller-check pattern on this abbreviation.

CFO as a three-letter title string

CFO is a filer-entered string. The file does not verify an SEC named-officer filing or a payroll rank. Filers who spelled out CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER sit in a different key if stored separately. The $36,233,003 national total is CFO only. 6,214 donors produced 78,219 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 78,219 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). This page locates the Ohio overlap. It does not name companies among the 220 Ohio donors.

Ohio as donor state

220 Ohio donors produced 3,143 contributions totaling $1,098,753. Donor state OH is the address on the record, not proof of a Ohio license, and not a limit to Ohio candidates. OH is the address on the itemized record, not proof of an Ohio headquarters and not a limit to Ohio candidates. A CFO can live in Ohio and work for a firm incorporated elsewhere.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only CFO. The CFO occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 97.0% of the $36,233,003. Ohio’s state hub includes every occupation coded to OH. CFO is only this filter.

What not to infer from CFO plus Ohio

This page does not merge spelled-out Chief Financial Officer dollars, count SEC officers, or claim that CFO-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CFO is not CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER if those strings are stored separately. CONTROLLER is another key.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CFO is not an SEC named-officer roster. Donor state OH is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Employer names are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one CFO filter

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national CFO occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CFO in every other state combined. That remainder ($35,134,250) has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties. The occupation internal link holds the unlabeled-by-state total; the state internal link holds every occupation with this state code; the occupations index and the ties index place this pair among other joins built the same way.

A unique-donor count of 220 is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count of 3,143 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $1,098,753 can hide that skew. Keeping all three figures on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the Ohio dollars, or only the CFO national total, drops a key. Two hundred twenty donors producing 3,143 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $1,098,753 headline.

Cfo donations holds the $36,233,003 national occupation total. Ohio campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. Tennessee has a separate CFO occupation-state tie with a higher mean; do not add those dollars here.
