Commercial Real Estate political contributions from Oklahoma

Fourteen Oklahoma donors and 7,442 contribution rows

The headline of this join is the gap between people and rows. Occupation COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE and state OK together produce $774,896, 7,442 contributions, and 14 donors. The occupation nationwide is $5,718,310, 17,218 contributions, and 959 donors. Oklahoma holds about 14% of the dollars, about 43% of the contribution rows, and about 1.5% of the donors.

About 43% of all Commercial Real Estate-coded contribution lines in the national aggregate are Oklahoma-coded, yet those lines come from 14 of 959 donors. That is a high-frequency, low-headcount intersection. A national occupation hub would bury the Oklahoma row spike. An Oklahoma state hub would not isolate this occupation from every other title filed from OK.

Fourteen Oklahoma donors and 7,442 contribution rows are the state side of COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE plus OK. The occupation side remains $5,718,310, 17,218 contributions, and 959 donors. About 43% of those 17,218 lines are in this join; about 14% of the dollars are. Researchers who quote only $774,896 will miss the row concentration. Researchers who quote only 7,442 will miss that most of the occupation’s money still sits outside Oklahoma. Both numbers belong in the same sentence because they describe different aspects of the same two-column filter.

Commercial Real Estate as a filed occupation

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE is an industry-flavored occupation string, not a license class. Filers who wrote REALTOR, REAL ESTATE, BROKER, or DEVELOPER sit in other buckets. The national totals—$5,718,310, 17,218 contributions, 959 donors—are whatever rows used this exact label.

Nine hundred fifty-nine donors and 17,218 contributions already imply repeat itemized giving in the national file. Oklahoma’s 14 donors and 7,442 contributions concentrate a large share of that row volume in one state code. This page still does not list the 14 people or the committees on the other side of those 7,442 lines.

Oklahoma’s donor-state filter

Fourteen Oklahoma donors account for $774,896. That dollar figure is about 14% of the national Commercial Real Estate total even though the donor share is about 1.5%. Other Oklahoma occupations are outside the join. Commercial Real Estate receipts coded to other states, including a separate Georgia intersection if published, occupy the rest of the $5,718,310.

OK is the contributor state on the receipt. It is not a map of Oklahoma commercial property, and it is not a claim that Oklahoma federal candidates received the $774,896. Recipient location is a different field, not used in this aggregate.

Row volume is not the same as dollar volume

Oklahoma’s 43% share of contribution rows and 14% share of dollars can coexist because many itemized lines can be small relative to fewer, larger lines elsewhere in the national occupation. The join reports both counts so that neither one is mistaken for the other. It does not compute a typical gift, and it does not say the 14 donors gave equally.

If filers switched the occupation string or the state code on later amendments, rows would leave this page. The relationship is the current aggregate of two self-reported fields.

Fourteen donors and 7,442 lines need both counts

Oklahoma’s Commercial Real Estate join is $774,896 from 14 donors and 7,442 contributions. The occupation nationwide is $5,718,310 from 959 donors and 17,218 contributions. About 43% of the contribution rows, about 1.5% of the donors, and about 14% of the dollars: a handful of identities generate a large share of labeled line volume without holding a majority of labeled dollars.

A Georgia Commercial Real Estate join uses the same $5,718,310 national ceiling and a different state filter. That other state’s row count is not a fact on this page. The two cuts are not a ranking of markets. REALTOR and BROKER remain other strings.

Geologist is another Oklahoma occupation-state pair. It does not belong in $774,896. Itemized individual receipts only. See Commercial Real Estate donations, Oklahoma campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties.

What the match refuses to conclude

This page does not argue that Oklahoma real estate funds federal campaigns, and it does not compare Oklahoma with Georgia or any other state on influence. Two FEC columns overlapped. Correlation is not causation.

Unitemized contributions and independent expenditures are excluded. Follow Commercial Real Estate donations, Oklahoma campaign finance, all occupations, and all FEC ties for the separate hubs.

Questions

How much have Commercial Real Estate donors in Oklahoma given?

FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Commercial Real Estate and state Oklahoma total $774,896. That join includes 7,442 contributions and 14 donors. Nationwide, the occupation is $5,718,310 from 959 donors and 17,218 contributions. Occupation labels are filer-entered.

Why are there 7,442 contributions from only 14 donors?

The Oklahoma side of the join is 14 donors, 7,442 contributions, and $774,896. A small donor count with a large row count means many itemized lines are attached to few contributor identities in this occupation-state cut. The page does not name those donors or split the 7,442 rows by committee.

Is Commercial Real Estate the same as Realtor in FEC filings?

No. This join uses the string COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE. Other real-estate titles are other occupation pages. Nationally this label covers 959 donors and $5,718,310. Merging labels would invent a total filers did not enter as one field.

Did this money go to Oklahoma campaigns?

Not necessarily. Donor state is Oklahoma. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system. This page does not allocate the $774,896 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state committees Donor state is the address on the itemized individual record, not a map of Oklahoma races. This join is $774,896 from 14 donors and 7,442 contributions against $5,718,310 nationwide. Recipients can be committees anywhere in the FEC system.
