Construction political contributions from Ohio

The Construction–Ohio intersection

Occupation CONSTRUCTION and donor state OH produce $763,839, 1,273 contributions, and 110 donors. The occupation hub is $17,948,059, 56,051 contributions, and 3,900 donors. Ohio’s dollar share is about 4.3%; contribution share about 2.3% (1,273 of 56,051); donor share about 2.8% (110 of 3,900). One hundred ten Ohio donors sit inside 3,900 national CONSTRUCTION donors. Dollars ($763,839 of $17,948,059) and rows (1,273 of 56,051) describe a mid-size cell on a one-word trade label.

CONTRACTOR, CONSTRUCTION OWNER, and BUILDER, if used, sit in other hubs. Do not stack CONSTRUCTION with CONTRACTOR or BUILDER into a single Ohio professional total. Those are other occupation strings with other hubs.

110 Ohio donors produced 1,273 contributions, about 11.6 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 14.4 rows per donor nationally (56,051 contributions from 3,900 donors). The arithmetic mean gift in this Ohio cell is about $600, against about $320 nationwide. Ohio’s $763,839 is not a public-works bid total. The same occupation string also appears in a Louisiana tie; that cell has fewer rows (630) and is a different state join.

CONSTRUCTION as a one-word occupation bucket

CONSTRUCTION is a filer-entered string. A single word on Schedule A does not identify a trade, a license, or a firm size. The $17,948,059 national total is CONSTRUCTION only. 3,900 donors produced 56,051 contributions in that occupation bucket.

This page does not split those 56,051 rows by cycle, employer, or recipient. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to Ohio (OH). Fifty-six thousand fifty-one national contributions make CONSTRUCTION a high-volume bucket. This tie locates the Ohio overlap.

Ohio as donor state

110 Ohio donors produced 1,273 contributions totaling $763,839. 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 contractor license, and not a map of which campaigns received the $763,839.

The Ohio campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to OH. This join is only CONSTRUCTION. The Construction occupation hub without Ohio still holds about 95.7% of the $17,948,059. Ohio’s state hub includes every occupation coded to OH. CONSTRUCTION is only this filter.

What not to infer from Construction plus Ohio

This page does not count licensed contractors, rank firms, or claim that Construction-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. CONSTRUCTION is not CONTRACTOR even when filers meant a licensed firm.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. CONSTRUCTION is not a NAICS construction extract. Donor state OH is not recipient geography. Itemized individual contributions only. Bid amounts and license numbers are not in these six numbers.

Three numbers, two fields, one Construction filter

Subtract the Ohio dollars on this page from the national CONSTRUCTION occupation total and the difference is the amount still coded CONSTRUCTION in every other state combined. That remainder ($17,184,220) 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 110 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 1,273 can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total of $763,839 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 CONSTRUCTION national total, drops a key. One hundred ten donors producing 1,273 contributions is the fact to keep next to the $763,839 headline.
